    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Find it interesting how little our more creative/attacking midfielders drop deeper (or deeper and centrally) when we struggle to progress the ball. Kudus, Bergvall and Simons yesterday, all to me seem very much capable of doing that a bit more and I think it would help us retain and progress...

    Hoping for an improvement in performance levels against Brighton. I think this team and Frank are very much capable of that. Early days, inconsistency isn't a surprise.

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    With this level of performance results won't be sustainable at the level we want/need. Being able to win on a bad day is a strength, but the bad days need to be the exception.

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    This. The attempted clearance/pass that ended with the shot for Pepe (tried a looping pass, but underhit it) was imo the only bad one from him. Uncharacteristically rushed and lacking in compusure. The others I remember were him trying an ambitious line breaking forward pass. He's trying...

    Also sloppy. Some good moments, some good phases. But overall the performance wasn't good enough, particularly in the second half. But a win is a win I guess.

    Perhaps easing Simons in by playing him there. To be fair him, Kudus and Bergvall offers a good amount of creativity and we're seeing some of that in this half.

    Is it just Palhinha not playing? Or something else? We can definitely get at them, bit more accuracy and we should keep creating

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    Bit sloppy, bit meh from us the first 25-30 minutes, but also some good moments. After that quite a bit better and looking fairly consistently threatening.

    Pedro Porro

    Purely defensively I agree. Though I think his defensive shortcomings get overstated at times compared to Spence, Udogie, VdV, Romero and even the (defensively excellent/really good) Palhinha, Sarr and Bentancur) he's the weakest. On the ball and going forward he's one of the best. The one...

    Archie Gray

    Absolutely. Let's see what the first half of the season brings for and from him. Already a trusted squad player (given that start and what he did last season), chances are game time will come. Just now getting to the two games a week part of the season. The demands on the squad, wear and tear...

    Lucas Bergvall

    I'm guessing positioning, awareness and decision making is mostly age/experience related? I think his passing leaves a bit to be desired. Can certainly develop further, it's not a big weakness, but he isn't excellent at it. Playing as a 10 especially I think the question of end product (goals...

    João Palhinha

    Yeah, depends what you mean by "DM" - the position or the role. Deep playmakers certainly exist and they play in a "DM position", but they're not what people typically mean be defensive midfielders. Having a "destroyer" type DM, specialist DM is fine and good. I'm more concerned about the...

    ***Spurs vs West Ham Untd***, PL, 13th September 2025 at The London Stadium

    Seems to me the standard has become "clear and obvious, no not like that, get involved a bit less, oh fudge it just figure it out". Same as the annual "clamp down" on whatever is the latest clamp down. Strict at first, then oh that won't work, ease it back a bit, oh just do whatever.

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    Looking forward to this. Perhaps putting things a bit too strongly, but this is where the training wheels come off and the season as it really mostly is starts. Two games a week, priorities, coming back from internationals and game after game with limited time on the training ground. Pressure...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    I get that the main stream media has credibility issues. Main stream media is criticised by most groups, left and right. But why would either of you trust this twitter post? What gives this twitter user credibility? If we can't trust the BBC (for the sake of argument), why should we trust...

    I typically don't even read this thread. Came here to try to get some perspectives on what's been happening in the UK with the march and everything. Just wanted to weigh in that I think your tone and style of argumentation here is something to reflect on. The conversation seemed to be about...

    Cristian Romero

    Attacking a ball and heading it even in a challenge is a fairly different skill than marking a player. See it when he's attacking the ball for long balls against us too, typically really good in those situations. Perhaps also a result of our overall difficulties defensively in recent years...

    ***Spurs vs West Ham Untd***, PL, 13th September 2025 at The London Stadium

    Agreed. Will be interesting to see what happens with that over a bit of time. At this point arguably more of an unknown than anything. But I think it's fair to expect improvement over time from here, but not sure about the time frame. He's gotten some really good fundamentals in place. More to...

    Depends how good/bad West Ham are for me. For where we are it's a fine, good, decent performance in that first half for me. Nothing spectacular, but good and solid. That's not a bad thing.

    João Palhinha

    For sure. I think that's kinda what I'm saying too. Not on the question of getting the credit he deserves I think it will depend on how well those others can do at those things he's not good at. And I think it's fair to discuss those weaknesses as weaknesses even though they're well known...
