    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...

    @Gutter Boy thankfully it was apparently just cramp (according to Frank - makes sense TBH)...

    ...because when he looks up, the movement and options around him are largely static. I am sure he can be better, but we do not play in a way which sets him up to be the best player he can be (or any player of his type).

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I want us to have a clue as to how to play progressive, attacking football with control. We have not done that since the start of the season. Where is the control in our attacking game? Where is the plan beyond 'spank it in from the wide positions'? Today we were the better side, no argument...

    Exactly! Great post. We have no patterns beyond going wide and/or 'Harlem Globetrotter magic it up' stuff.

    Cristian Romero

    If so that would be madness. I think the issue with him is that due to having no real attacking patterns or plans, he takes it on himself to go forward and do what seemingly few others can do -score somehow. I think he is an outstanding talent who needs to be in a properly managed football...

    Misplaced passes again, another formation in the PL, one player double-double out of position over a potential starter in that position, no pattern of play in attack beyond forcing pressure, looking wide and swinging in crosses. This is not new. It is the same old thing. Week in week out. I see...

    Cristian Romero

    i am hoping it was just the same sort of fatigue plus late knock that he suffered last weekend (when he asked to be subbed late and was ignored).

    We are playing a player who is twice removed from his natural position over a player who plays that position sometimes. Most of our moves are currently dying with Djed. I do 't blame him, he just isn't a LW.

    I like that side except I don't know if we can risk Xavi; his ankle looked pretty swollen?

    Andy Robertson

    Well I think it could well be mate, however I think that if we stick with TF, that is our future (like it or not style-wise) and Souza's going to be loaned and trained in a similar 'art'. Giiven we are where we are, I think as a short-term signing it works well. It's all very Harry R in terms...

    In fairness, another podcast said this at least a month before them ;-)

    It's been said before (by me too in fact) that Naybet was King's on-field coach and spirit guide. I think this is a great signing for short-term experience, which we need more of (to clarify, not too much more!). I wanted us to break for Kimmich two seasons ago for a similar reason. These...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Interesting, I sort of remember the incident but will look again. Shame the coaching staff didn't immediately haul him off out of precaution.

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

    It's an interesting discussion. Burnley appear to sometimes play a 3-4-2-1 (Walker as a wing-back), and of course the now traditional PL formation of 4-2-3-1. What makes it a tough read is that they don't like to have the ball much more than we do, and as such love to counter. I think the...

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

    Indeed, as we know formations switch depending on attack/defence/phases/where certain players are in transitions. Generally speaking, I was looking at the three CBs to play to their strengths; Romero on the right of a three, playing slightly higher means he has a good range of angles for passes...

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

    @Gutter Boy In fairness, I always think of three at the back a la Glenn and with a bit more attacking intent than using it as a defensive strategy. To me, it allows pressure higher up the field and a greater chance of winning duals and second-balls in places which pressurise the other...
