    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    I agree except I don't think the "second string" is woeful. Unbalanced, but a lot of the players are fine in and of themselves. But our lack of ball progression qualities makes it dysfunctional as a team. I normally rate what Brooks has to say and once again fully agree with him. Only trying...

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    He looked ready for that last season when he played there. Then again, that was under a very much less risk averse manager. The problem isn't a lack of runners, it's quality on the ball and willingness to play with some risk to progress the ball, particularly in central areas. Both Sarr and...

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    I hope Bergvall is seen as ready for a somewhat deeper role soon. I mean, he was last season and repeatedly that's where he looked at his best. If not, at least have some players willing and able to play through midfield deeper so he can actually get on the ball playing as a 10.

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    Have to say I agree. How he ends up thinking no changes are necessary at half time I really struggle to understand. We just weren't functional. If 15 additional minutes of football is too much for Kudus and Simons to make those changes at half time we have options even then, like Archie Gray...

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    I think he is our backup/rotation option and Solanke will be first choice when back unless Kolo Muani starts playing really well as a striker when he eventually gets fit.

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    He needs service. Hopeful inaccurate punts up to him from the back and that one ball from Bergvall where he should have done better is about it. Deep midfield duo bringing no creativity, no ball progression. Same as all season essentially, only today we don't have Kudus and Romero to compensate...

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    Lucky not to be behind and a poor performance. Defending is fine, but our ball progression troubles are as obvious as they are to be expected. Think Frank needs to make some subs at half time. We need some ballers out there. Kudus, Simons, perhaps playing a somewhat creative midfielder in one...

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    Tel isn't registered, otherwise I quite like your suggestions. Though I think it will be a bit more "first choice" heavy, VdV, Kudus, Simons etc. Would like to see a somewhat more risky/ambitious on the ball lineup than we've mostly gone for this season as you suggest in midfield. Get two of...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    I'm assuming continued work on the transfer front is part of the strategy. I also think for at least some of the players here he has players at a significantly higher starting point than at Brentford. Though I get your point that to be serious top 4 contenders over time we probably need more...

    Cristian Romero

    In principle I pretty much fully agree. Only possible disagreement that it's more than a nice bonus. CBs often see more of the ball than other players, having quality ball playing CBs is mostly a necessity at the highest level. I think the lack of those qualities elsewhere has been a real...

    Mathys Tel

    Tel and Odobert both lacking a bit of confidence and flow (in different ways) imo. Not that strange really. New manager, young players, not exactly been here for ages and Odobert having had most of last season ruined by injuries.

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    Absolutely. Still looking forward to seeing what Solanke can do under Frank and for us in this team. To me seems like a very good fit for what we need. Agreed. The first half was rather encouraging in that regard. Controlled, a bit conservative, but still creating chances even though our set...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree. Avoiding another injury calamity seems vital. Kolo Muani, Solanke and then Kulusevski to return over the next weeks then months. If we can avoid serious fresh injuries we should be in a good shape. We aren't as "Vibes FC" as we were under Ange, perhaps not as in need of keeping the...

    Cristian Romero

    I'm the same, but then again I don't mind defenders going a bit rogue. With Bentancur and Palhinha in midfield Romero or VdV doing something a bit unorthodox and attack minded at times seems like a good thing. He's also one of rather few players who mostly keeps his composure when others are...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    Fully agreed. Also Simons hopefully settling in further to the team and playing in the PL. Frank does also have options though, for me particularly in midfield. For games like this going for Bergvall or Gray alongside Palhinha for example. Some risk/downside, but also more ball progression and...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    Didn't Frank improve several attacking players at Brentford over time? I think the expectation that he'll do similarly here is fair, but obviously not going to happen in a couple of months. I agree we were short on attacking quality last season, but we have also added Kudus, Simons and Kolo...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    Yeah. Biggest concern about last night is how we responded to going behind. But that kind of game state is probably what our coaching and preparation has been the least focused on so far under Frank. Meaning that the first goal remains really important. Had we taken one of those chances in the...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    I'm assuming a combination of being solid defensively, good set pieces and some individual brilliance will mean that we'll get good enough results (for now) to have time. I want to see improvements in our attacking play over time and care less about how quickly that happens. For what we're...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    Good post and I'm rather serene too. I agree that a lot of the fundamentals are there. I think the "patterns" on the ball are still lacking. But with the focus being on defensive solidity and set pieces so far that's not surprising. Hopefully we see our attacking play click more into gear over...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    Thought the first half was good/alright. Unlucky not to be ahead at half time, good control defensively. Creating a decent amount of chances. Scrappy goal against and we seemed to panic a bit. To me a couple of strange decisions on subs. A lot of our play looked rushed and a bit panicked.
