    *** OMT: Spurs vs Sunderland*** Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Sunday 4th January, 3pm

    I watched the second half so missed the first, but I'm glad to hear we were better. Tel is a player waiting to happen, just needs minutes and belief from the management. Instagram Shock Jocks are peddling the Frank out rhetoric, it's so boring, and such a shame that young kids getting into...

    Yves Bissouma

    are you sure that is lazy play or someone who is trying to get fit and failing due to a succession of injuries? Data on players is everywhere, so if there was an issue with tracking back it would be on the radar immediately. The idea that we can spot something a player is doing that the...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    with respect you keep offering the same opinion, so all I can do is offer my view. He did exceptionally and is a fan favourite, and yes he should have stayed, but we had a chairman who pulled the trigger at the wrong time as a pass time.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think you may have slightly misunderstood what I meant re Genius - for me there's been three genius managers in England in my lifetime, Ferguson, Clough and Guardiola. They achieved their status in my eyes (and its only me saying this I don't force this view on anyone else) by either achieving...

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    there's a general malaise at the moment around top level football, and the English top flight is probably the most affected. This seems to be down to the fact that the top managers are stifling creativity and instead instilling pattern play in such a way that the football becomes predictable and...

    I'll second Finney - I don't know what game you are watching but Udogie is far from lazy - and I would say Bissouma is too emotional/distracted rather than lazy. Destiny if he can get fit (he's at that horrible phase where one injury brings on another - happens to a few players every year at...

    there's been mixed reports - they have reported their side there's an option - I seriously doubt that.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think there is a body of evidence since he left the club to suggest that Poch is far from a genius. What he was though was someone who understood the very fabric of the club, and who if backed could have gone on to win something with us. Alex Ferguson used to evolve his teams every 5-6 years...

    in fairness we have a wealth of defensive players coming through and likely made money on the transaction if he does move on permanently. It is very odd that if he is not rated by the club that he was on the bench last weekend - other players who are cast out/not good enough don't get a look...

    Jamie Donley

    an option to buy means that if the player wants to go the clubs have a pre-agreed fee - if he elects not to go then he won't move. See Johnny Cardoso for a reference on that - bizarrely we effectively paid for a first refusal that the player, well, refused.

    (Brennan) Johnson Again Olé Olé!

    A lovely guy but honestly I'd say we have cashed in at a time when we can get decent money for him - he's very one dimensional, and despite attempts to improve this he's not really shown that he can evolve his game. Glasner might be the manager to get that evolution, if so then Palace have...

    That would require 2 up top though wouldn't it and that means 3-5-2 I suspect?

    (Brennan) Johnson Again Olé Olé!

    We want to have the ability to play various styles and formations, and in order to do that we need to have players who can play different positions and ways. Johnson is absolutely not that sort of forward, and he will ultimately not fit our setup. We know that our front line needs to be...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    we have won 1.33 points per game in the last 100 games. That's mid table not bottom six or even relegation form. Relegated teams rarely get more than 0.7 points per game.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    If we buy creative midfielders then in 3-4 months time there's going to be an issue with Maddison and Kulu back. There is likely a thought process that goes along the lines of Madders and Kulu being the now, Bergvall and Gray being the future, and therefore bringing a midfielder in overloads...

    Yes I do, but if you are at all unsure as to our track record then have a read: Ange - Sacked the first manager in a generation to win us something Conte - Scudetto - Napoli - 2025 Nuno - took Forest into Europe for the first time in 30 years Mourinho - Europa League - 2022 Poch - Ligue 1 -...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I find it remarkable that people seem to be writing the guy off when this blueprint has been followed countless times. If we don't give him time its another new dawn, 10 games of good then the players slip back into the old mistakes and lazy spells If we sack him then another high calibre...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v SK Slavia Praha***

    Such a weird statistic that. Last season and most of this we haven't been able to buy a result at home and yet in Europe we are probably as good as anyone at home. Bizarre, even though we were cup focussed at the end of the Angelos era.
