    ***OFFICIAL***SPURS***L'arse***OMT***

    I just don’t think this is true. We don’t have players that are on Arsenal’s level right now. But we for sure have better players than to turn up and perform like that. Was our only shot on target one from the half way line? To say an attacking performance that bad is down to the quality of...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Thought this was most interesting to get an insight into how he thinks about breaking down low blocks. He’s clearly a big believer in crosses.

    Wilson Odobert

    This looks really nice. Completely off topic but I feel like it would work well for Tel to be one of a 2 in the front line. Not sure he suits being the lone striker or a creative left winger. But in a partnership that gives him a little bit more space to operate, we can see more of what we did...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    5th going into the break, even if the table is extremely tight, has to be considered a good thing. The bull case for the season is that Frank is starting to get more comfortable with the squad, who he can trust, and has learned more about how to get results at home. If we can maintain the...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    I don’t disagree…especially because of the damage done. I enjoyed out of curiosity to get more of an insight into how Poch is successful. But would much rather he just didn’t let it be written if the cost was harming the relationships with the players. Poch said fairly recently that ‘we all...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Never understood the book. Enjoyed reading it, but when we had such a good thing going, when our culture was our strategic advantage, anything to risk that felt needless to me.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Not sure where I would stand on Jan and Toby vs Romero and VDV. I think one thing I would say is that Jan and Toby had the benefit of playing in a team that was able to be fully geared to Poch’s vision and got to the peak of its cycle. So the goals conceded is partly down to them but partly...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Manchester United ***

    Nah, I really don’t want to do an Ange defence but there’s a difference between installing a system that believes in giving up chances in order to create more, and the silly individual errors we saw today and against Chelsea. I feel like I’m getting behind what Frank is trying to achieve, in...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Manchester United ***

    I think in fairness to the coaching staff, it’s a philosophy around not conceding many chances but also creating high quality chances when we get there. I’m not saying it’s clicking yet, and it’s not the same as a barrage of pressure that eventually overwhelms teams, but I think the coaches can...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Manchester United ***

    Gaaaah, that’s frustrated me. I had forgotten how their first goal came about, just a dumb lazy clearance that gives them a chance to get another ball into the box. And then to concede a corner and concede from that against ten mins, it’s actually pretty ridiculous.

    I think the performance was better in advance of that but no doubt it helped. Makes it even more annoying to give that corner away and not control the game in injury time. Too many hoofs.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    He deserves credit for changing things and getting a much better performance out of the team in the second half. Also deserves sympathy because the injury situation is almost getting to the point that it was last season. We’ve been able to rotate a little bit more but it’s getting pretty...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Manchester United ***

    Corners are a coin toss, I’m more frustrated we gave the corner away versus 10. There was lots of hoofing after we scored, little controlled possession. They had nothing to lose so piled forward. Overall though, almost a very good vindication of Frank’s system. We limited them, we got goals...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Manchester United ***

    The one thing you can say with these uninspiring performances is they we are limiting the opposition and too. We are slightly better offensively then the low bar of Chelsea, but neither they or United actually did much either. We do need to strike a better balance somehow though,

    Mauricio Pochettino

    I think maybe his Chelsea stint means the fans won’t sing his name is the current manager is in a bad patch anymore. Just my personal opinion, but I think the form started sliding as the inevitable consequence of not signing or selling a player for 18 months. Especially when he had built his...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Would have him back in a heartbeat. Only question is whether he fits the Lange / Paratici ideals. But that aside, if we could have him back, I’d have no hesitation. Levy’s biggest mistake was sacking and not backing him. I mean that less in pure monetary terms, and more in trusting Poch’s view...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree. But what I thought was weird about Chelsea was that we’d win the ball, then pass back. As opposed to win the ball and attack the space. Passing back suggests we’re doing a high possession team thing, getting the unit up the pitch. Resting with the ball etc. but it was this bizarre...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Absolutely. As long as we compete, and try to win the game, however we actually go about it, I’ll be happy. I’m not sure where it broke down, because against PSG even though we played a reactive game, there was a clear intention to attack at the right moments when the spaces opened up. Against...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Loved it! Thought the shape was interesting with a back 3 in possession (two different versions of it, Porro inverting and Bentancur dropping in) and to the point mentioned above, Udogie on the left helps as he was often taking up an advanced position high on the left, almost on the same line as...
