    I always felt Solanke was a 35 million striker we were heavily overpaying for. I do not ever see him getting 20 goals in a season for us. If he got 15 I'd be over the moon.

    I know mate. One of my major issues with all of this has been that this manager appears to not be interested in playing that way.

    I think this is absolutely true and something we don't recognise enough. It is another of the reasons I fudging hated Mourinho; he told Levy that he could bring us over the line with that 2019/20 squad. Which was a lie (Poch even said it woud be a painful rebuild). I think the confluence of...

    Be interested to see what you think of you get to watch a full match replay mate.

    A really interesting and balanced overview which hopefully sparks some good conversation. I'll dive in later.

    Out of interest did you see the whole game mate?

    In short, we created chances in the first 10 mins via our usual methods. When I'm talking about patterns of play, I'm talking about specific attacking movements involving triggers and movements. It looks to me like all those triggers/movements are designed to get the ball wide and to create...

    Cristian Romero

    First off, we went three at the back today, so another change-up in the Premier League. Secondly, if what you're saying is correct re: organised as a unit, then there has been a dismal failure in coaching today's set-up properly. I think there has been a failure generally in what's being...

    Cristian Romero

    I think he is absolutely a team player, however I think he needs very clear guidelines from the coaches. When with Argentina he locks in perfectly and isn't quite as 'attacking' either because there is neither the need or expectancy. Unfortunately, he is judge and jury for us, being our best...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    They also have several very distinct mechanisms to progress the ball forwards and into the other lots net.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree. I'm a big fan of his. I also think he was playing hurt today. Personally, I would not have started him today given the injury; if anything I'd have brought him off the bench.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It's an interesting discussion for sure. I think today, the mitigation would be that he is playing hurt (no way that ankle is much better since Tuesday night). I also think intensity can be measured in different ways. Every time he leaves the pitch, he is drenched in sweat and had mud on his...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    My point for the whole season has been that in order for the 10 to be there, you need a manager who wants to instruct/coach a system which encourages that. I've said for sometime that I do not believe Thomas Frank is particularly interested in that sort of player. To your point, he'd rather a CF...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I tried to click the link?! ;) Seriously though, I personally think discussions are great, as are differing opinions. I'd say the opinions are pretty set right now in fairness. I also think in terms of Frank's pressers, we can safely say that he wants not much more than a slightly...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Xavi is most certainly the man I expect to be making a move inside. In the image, it's almost as though he's hiding behind the defender. One thing no-one can level at Xavi is lack of effort, so I have to wonder why he's there and why he's not dropping into those pockets. My conclusion? Lack of...

    ...indeed. There it is. 'The Zone of Emptiness', which is a regular occurrence when we break.

    What song are we currently (a bit of fun here so take in that spirit!)…

    I have an enormous love of the Bowie/Pop/Eno work. What he and Iggy did together was equally excellent. That they shared the same song on respective albums with different titles and lyrics is in and of itself genius!

    What song are we currently (a bit of fun here so take in that spirit!)…

    I think it's fair to say both have their place today. The Berlin trilogy is my favorite era of Bowie.

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    I agree there are several issues at play here. I go back to the summer and the fact that Frank actually did not seem to want this type of player until late in the window when options were narrowing. I genuinely believe he'd rather have a fit Bentancur or Pahlinha and Gallagher. I don't see Xavi...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Appreciate the conversation mate. I think we had more possession and presence but did not see us control the game in a true sense. Romero always plays some passes through the centre; he is pretty much the only one who dares. Most of our chances come as a result of crosses. I want more than...
