    The way we've often played under Frank may have something to do with it. Wonky with the LB given more attacking freedom, LW often cutting inside leaving some space to be exploited. RB typically more of a supporting role with Kudus hugging the touchline much of the time. That also makes the RB...

    Archie Gray

    Time will tell. I've been at least somewhat critical of Frank. If over a somewhat longer timeline he's able to integrate Gray and Bergvall in a way that allows us to be fairly solid defensively while being able to use their obvious qualities on the ball to our advantage that will be a...

    Archie Gray

    My hope would be that we see way more of Gray as one of two deep midfielders and in the not so distant future see Bergvall as one of two deep midfielders too. Probably too early for them as a pairing. Which combinations work best and in which games is a different question. In my head I could...

    Definitely room for improvement on Bentancur. But I also think Bentancur has been unfairly spacegoated for things that aren't his fault. Him and Gray could be a rather good double pivot, complimentary skills, both fairly well rounded. In terms of ball progression Bentancur imo is quite clearly...

    Xavi Simons

    For me probably there has been some settling in now. He probably is better in the centre. And the opposition wasn't the best. Biggest difference to me was how we played and who he had to play with. Creative players around him and behind him that meant he got the ball in better situations where...

    Archie Gray

    A different way of answering your question. Post PSG we discussed that pass from Romero to Sarr. I think had that been Gray receiving that the pass from Romero would have gotten essentially zero attention because Gray would have done something with it. He's that good. But that's compared to...

    So good the only player he's worth comparing him to is himself 😉 Was supposed to be compared to Gray...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Will be a step up for him, a new league and all that too. If we can manage to get into Europe again a season starting as a squad player getting significant game time could be perfect for him. If he keeps up his development it will take a hell of a player to keep him on the bench.

    Archie Gray

    Just on the TV. I agree that he did really well, I just think the bar for those things has been set so low by others. I think Gray has the quality to do way more than this given a bit of time and experience in that role at this level. I think he will become outstanding, or is very likely to...

    Yeah Bergvall is way more risky on the ball than Bergvall. Though I also think Bergvall is better a bit deeper and showed last season what he can do in a role like that. But Gray is up there as one of our players with the most control and composure on the ball in tight areas and in terms of...

    Archie Gray

    Didn't think he was outstanding as such, but good, very good even. Did his job defensively and was tidy, good and progressive with the ball at his feet. Was imo what we could expect from him in that role. May be my imagination and difficult to say as Brentford weren't very good, but his off the...

    Summer 26, was a season long loan.

    Richarlison

    Unless you have a team of very good well rounded players we need a mix. Too many "will score if they get good service" players and we'll create very little. But with a team capable of playing well and creating chances having someone who gets the ball over the line is obviously important...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    I agree, but still maintain that it's not just Palhinha and Bentancur, it's them and Sarr. And of the three of them Bentancur is the best "footballer".

    Mohammed Kudus

    Complacency kicking in for a player with tired legs and a tired mind after playing a lot in a team that's struggled a fair bit and suddenly seems on track to a good performance and win?

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    Agree that this seemed a bit strange. Perhaps with our recent problems with form and results seeing this game out and getting a clean sheet was seen as more important for Frank? Perhaps also somewhat reluctant to have too many of the younger players on the pitch at the same time when a single...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    Yeah, difficult to say how much of that was us being better and them being poor. I also noticed the standing off. But none the less a good performance, and both ball progression and chance creation was good. I definitely want to see more of Gray in a role like that. Maybe it will be more...

    Hope it's Gray in a deep midfield (starting) position and we get him on the ball a lot.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    I guess you're being somewhat tongue in cheek? I will be curious to see how we approach this game. Against Villa for example we remained rather cautious with the game being levelled, throwing everyone forward at the end when behind. As long as the game is level are we playing to beat the other...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    My point was not that we should be able to play great passing football, just a response to the point about style/performance vs. results. What we haven't seen since then imo is consistency with great passing football. Imo we did see that at first under Ange and then after that in phases and...
