    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    What Poch did was put Wanyama and Dembele in front of that defence which meant nothing got through!

    Nah not enough squad depth. The manager though was brilliant.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it is obvious, a better deep passer gets the ball to Kudus and Xavi faster. We saw that when Archie Gray played against Brentford alongside Bents. A better number 9 than Richi holds onto the ball more efficiently so we can progress attacks, rather than losing possession and have the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Teams who have injuries to key players struggle, especially to forward players as scoring goals and creating chances is more difficult than keeping goals out. I think the point about Madders, Deki and Solanke stands. It looks like none of them are going to feature enough this season to make a...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I just can't agree with that. Now I know it is largely a subjective discussion but for me, common sense says that young still relatively inexperienced players do not replace the experienced quality players who are at their peak, who we've lost this season. Agreed we had a huge number of...

    Sorry Mikey saw your post after I had posted mine. The bit about TF having to immediately negotiate European football is really important yet I keep forgetting to mention it.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Look at it another way, Thomas Frank has lost the 3 players who together were supposed to assist with the goals that we lost because of Kane leaving. We've also lost Son who was vital to the way we played in those 1st 10 games. TF has then had to shoehorn 3 entirely new players into those...

    Liverpool thread

    But when you make these last ditch tackles there is a chance that you will injure your opponent. And effect of the tackle was the same as a scissor which is what did the damage. There is, for me, a case that it could have been seen as a "reckless" tackle although I'm glad he didn't get sent off...

    Liverpool thread

    I think you could make a case either way for the VDV/ISak challenge. I did think at the time, "ouch hope VDV doesn't get sent off." Whenever you engage in a scissor type challenge around your opponent's leg there is a risk of injuring that player. There is no intent on VDV's part but I don't...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You can say this until you are blue in the face it won't matter. There is a strong correlation between those who felt that Ange should have been given more time and those who are now criticising TF most strongly. It's not everyone in that group of course. I keep reading that the squad is better...

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Sat. 20th Dec. 5:30pm***

    We badly need Dom Solanke back imho. His pressing from the front is miles better than Muani and the ball sticks with him more than Richy when played up field. I am also sure he would have been looking for a pass from Spence when he made that run. I think people underestimate how important he is...

    But then he nearly scored with a delightful chip that hit the post. Agree completely about him not giving Spence at option though.

    No worries I know exactly how you feel mate. I can feel the irritation creeping in with those around me as it always has done when we lose (not violently I hasten to add). I feel ashamed about that and really trying to be better. It's only football in the end.

    Cristian Romero

    I agree with you, but I actually think VDV is our best and most indispensable defender tbh. Romero is too unstable to be top class in my opinion.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'm not sure what you want me to say mate? That could be levelled at any manager who comes from a smaller club to us. While managers who have been elite elsewhere cannot adapt to the situation they find themselves in here. So who's left? We need to see how this one plays out. I think we will...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    So after the (mainly negative) comments on his pre match presser I listened again expecting to be annoyed. TF was asked "how was Archie this week?" I have given a precis of what his response below:- "He's been good; when I watched the game back he was the one who wanted the ball instantly...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    What I really like about Thomas Frank, apart from how well he has rotated his squad and managed injuries, is over his time at Brentford he improved so many players. Watkins, Mbeumo, Wissa, Raya. These were all Brentford players, 3 of them offensive. And that's before you consider Toney...

    VVd should have been sent off for that too.

    I don't know the situation you're talking about tbf. But I've seen it many times including in today's game when he should have passed but either held onto the ball until Liverpool were back into shape or as you say pass back. I don't think that is just on TF. Because Bergvall tries to release...
