    The risk of relegation, as minute as it may be, maybe changes the picture enough for a change of approach? (Usually I would definitely agree better to keep our powder dry than to bloat the squad with players who will end up being another not quite good enough player). We do have a history of...

    Archie Gray

    Said this last season, but being able to slot in at full back and at CB like ymhe did last season in a dysfunctional team and looking good is almost unheard of for a player that young. His composure under pressure both on the ball and in general just being on the pitch in difficult circumstances...

    Randal Kolo Muani

    One of several attacking players suffering from a lack of service imo. Had he gotten better service he may have gotten a small handful of PL goals and things could have been different. At the same time right now we need players who will do their utmost and fight for every point regardless of...

    The Case for the Attacking play

    We definitely agree on a quality passer in midfield being something we lack and have lacked for quite a while. Bergvall isn't an elite passer, but he's well capable of progressing the ball though the middle (with risk), we've seen Bentancur's progressive passing stats essentially halved from...

    Wilson Odobert

    Some similarities for sure. Unlike Lennon he can strike a ball though. But has the potential to become a "gasps through the crowd as he receives it" type player.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    While there's definitely some questions that can be asked about the current focus on physicality in the PL some of the games we've had in Europe, including the Dortmund game seems to tell a story about how valuable that can be, and how costly it can be to be on the wrong side of that. Tricky...

    Would be a very good short term signing imo. Not sure about longer term, but even if we go into next season with a different manager and Mateta isn't a great fit we've certainly had worse backup strikers.

    Dominic Solanke

    Time will tell with Kolo Muani, but good to see him get a goal and play well. Definitely agree on Solanke. Think he's looked impressively sharp since returning from such a lengthy absence. Really good that Frank gave him a rest against Frankfurt too. Especially as it didn't cost us of course...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Good positive take. For me I want to see how we do against better teams than Burnley and Frankfurt. Dortmund are quite good, but it was only 20ish minutes against 11 men. There have been signs of improvement, and imo some earlier this season too. But so far inconsistent and more us looking good...

    I think we are.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Agreed. A pattern for me this season is that when we get the ball into decent situations in and around the final third our attacking players show themselves rather capable of creating chances. Just to be clear, not saying they're fantastic, but we do create a decent amount of chances from those...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Absolutely a very good and controlled even comfortable performance. Some positive signs in the Burnley game too. Will be interesting to see if we can do more of the same coming up against better teams. If we can Frank could still turn this around. I'm not super confident it will happen, but...

    *** OMT Cursed FC v Eintract Frankfurt ***

    Very good performance. Great to be through to the knockouts. Low intensity game too that should be good for our fitness/injury situation.

    *** OMT Cursed FC v Eintract Frankfurt ***

    Romero at the back, passes it to Romero on the right, Romero advances with the ball, combines with Romero on the wing, lovely cross for Romero to head it in.

    Pedro Porro

    Obviously impossible to know what is known about these things behind the scenes. Just to be clear I'm not saying being in the red zone and having a drop in performance will be just before an injury. To me there's likely a probabilistic risk playing in the red zone, if a player gets injured or...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Calculations like that would have to include an estimated probability of different outcomes and estimates about how likely that spending would be to change those likelihoods, no? On your speculation I agree (my speculation too), I actually think it's difficult to imagine a situation where the...

    Pedro Porro

    Whose next? Hopefully Romero picks up another suspension soon so he can get a rest (only half joking). Solanke will probably have to start again against Frankfurt and I'm not betting against him starting against City too. That would be 4 starts in quick succession after essentially half a...

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

    Don't disagree. Just for reference: We've played 12 games against teams in the bottom half this season. 16 points with a goal difference of +2 from those 12 games. We've taken 12 points from 11 games against the top half teams. Goal difference of zero. 1.33 points pr. game in games against...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I have been rather pro Levy and I do miss him a bit, right now I'd rather have him in charge (maybe that's in part that he was a more familiar entity, knew what we were getting). I think right now it's more a vacuum than him previously shielding us. Vinai still relatively new to the job. Others...
