    I’d like to know how anyone could retort this analysis to be honest. I think it’s spot on because it’s backed up with the clear evidence that we see in repeated games now:

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I just watched the Adam Clery video that was posted on here earlier in the week, and I thought it really well brought to life some of the issues with what we saw today. Since the Chelsea game there have been a fair few posts saying it’s the players, they aren’t good enough to do anything...

    I think it’s pretty clear that the system we are employing is better suited to games where the opposition feels some onus to take the initiative against us, and therefore our glaring lack of plan in possession isn’t as obvious? I will give it that we were better against Villa than today. I will...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think what’s interesting about this is that I think we’ve definitely had ‘turgid’ performances before, when managers might have an idea of playing more in possession but things aren’t clicking. And that might come down to missing a key player that makes the system tick. Like I think losing...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    What would you like to see Frank have learned after the game today? What did he learn today that he did not know before the game? Because I would contend again that what we are seeing is deliberate. It is the result of his choices. In order to not see something so bad in possession, he has to...

    I actually think Xavi has played at a higher level than Madders did earlier in his career, and proven himself earlier at that standard. But regardless, I think there’s a world in which our coach has made different decisions which actually get the best out of Xavi, or at the very least better...

    I don’t think Madders or Deki or more refinement would have made a difference today. Xavi is a talented player who can play the Madders role. Kudus is a talented player who can offer a threat like Deki does. I think the reason we had no answer to their pressure was because in possession, we’d...

    Would love to hear your thoughts on what today would have looked like once we had patiently developed our way of playing? It didn’t look like we had anything workable.

    Agreed. It didn’t feel like there was a plan to win. Purely to contain. But Frank talked a lot before the season about planning to win every game. I was interested in the idea of not having a system adhered to rigidly if it meant we had game specific plans we used each game. But we didn’t see...

    I genuinely don’t think we had a plan. We didn’t even try and counter. When we got the ball, we’d slowly plod it back to the CBs, who would look for non existent options, and then we’d hoof it. That was it. I get the idea of slowing it down, trying to regain the territory, and keeping the...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea***, Premier League, Nov 1st 2025 at White Hart Lane

    I agree. I think there’s every chance that VDV and Spence were annoyed at their own performances, but they seemed fine enough to talk to each other and ignore the manager. I would not be surprised at all if they were frustrated with Frank for being set up to play the way they did today...

    Was any actual performance under Nuno ever as bad as that? I honestly don’t think so.

    ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea***, Premier League, Nov 1st 2025 at White Hart Lane

    Agreed. Completely bizarre performance. I don’t blame Xavi one bit. And there was some talk in this thread of the players not actually being that good. I don’t buy it. We have good players. We have players that are easily capable of serving up better than what we just saw. They are clearly...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea***, Premier League, Nov 1st 2025 at White Hart Lane

    That was genuinely atrocious. Our players looked like they’d never met each other. Every pass was slightly under or over hit. We had zero ideas. Even when we regained possession, we didn’t try and counter. We plodded the ball back to the centre backs and hoofed it forward. The whole thing was...

    Watching the US coverage and their talking about Frank being so frustrating conceding because he ‘knows the game plan is out the window’. Who knows if they’re right, but it is a concerning idea in the sense that our football is predicated on not falling behind and then being able to catch a...

    Really one of those halves that shows up if we aren’t getting a bounce of the ball on a set piece that we have absolutely no ideas. Not even anything on the break in this game.

    Strong yellow the right decision. Wasn’t high, genuine attempt for the ball. Horrible contact but if we re-ref those then we might as well give up. Sometimes it happens in football,

    On Johnson I would say scoring 18 goals in a team performing really badly is also probably a pretty good sign?

    ***Spurs vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine***, League Cup, 29th October 2025 at St James Park

    I’m not saying he’s one of our best signings ever, I’m just saying that someone scoring 18 goals in a season including the winning one in a European final allows him to scrape up from beyond the chaff that is actually in line to be our worst ever signing.

    I watch every game. And I think the thing that people give him credit for, in terms of being in the right place at the right time, if it was so easy then any player would do it. I think he’s a fantastic finisher and has great instincts and awareness in the box, great timing. Certainly not one of...
