    Tudor has failed to to fix the mess Thomas Frank got us into. Not Frank alone, but for sure partly him.

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    For sure vibes are important. That mostly comes from getting results and performances though. There's no real short term repair of the stuff between the hairline and eyebrows. Confidence and belief has been shattered. Maybe a real vibesy person coming in could give the players a momentary lift...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    No doubt Redknapp returning would be a massive gamble given his age and time out of the game. In some ways symptomatic that he's even being discussed. But at the same time can understand it, desperate times. While I definitely am quite a long way off trusting the current people in charge of...

    Feel really sorry for him. Must have been a dreadful experience.

    OMT Spurs v Athletico

    Yeah. Drew the game 2-2 other than those two giveaways. One of ours was gifted too, but we had other chances too. Had you said after the 3-0 went in that we'd lose by just 3 I wouldn't have believed it. But another terrible result, finding new ways to lose even though we thought we'd been...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    Yeah I agree very much on caution in judgement when we have limited information. But there's imo no way you say we didn't panic if you think there's a chance we're going down. Such an obvious terrible look if that happens. And at that time he was our lone DoF. It's his job to know that we were...

    That's from the last game, when Porro was back, no? Souza the 19 year old kid. Would leave us with Richarlison as the only attacker on the bench meaning that 3 of that front 4 would have to play the 90. I'm not saying that wouldn't be better just to be clear, but would be issues regardless. I...

    My point was about what he's had available so far. To me there haven't been many realist options that didn't include playing players out of position regardless of formation.

    Igor the Departed

    Agreed that we have some wide options that aren't typical wingers. Most of the time that requires width from an attacking full back, no? We did have Porro back last game, but there's been a real shortage there too. My point is that no matter how we line up it's going to be imbalanced. Tudor...

    Not sure what part of my post made you think I'm spacegoating?

    OMT Spurs v Athletico

    Torn on this. On the one hand the only thing that really matters is the PL and the last thing we need are more injuries to important players. On the other hand even a modicum of a positive experience would be good. And a chance to get another game trying to play however Tudor wants us to play...

    Igor the Departed

    That's how he's gotten results short term elsewhere. We actually have full backs who also have experience playing as wing backs. We have centre backs who also have experience playing in a back three and who on paper at least look suited to that. Problem has been that both those full/wing backs...

    Levy's Plan

    Personally I think there's a decent chance Levy knew he was leaving, but probably we'll never know for sure.

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    His job is to sign players that will do well here. Part of that is getting players that will suit the manager. Another part is getting players that will improve the squad in key areas that we're currently short in (not just positions, but also what abilities we're missing in different roles)...

    Igor the Departed

    Psychology/mentality is intrinsically linked to style of play imo. Belief and confidence being linked to the players really believing in the manager's plan for how he wants them to play. Even the best motivator in the world won't get that motivation out of a group if they think how they're...

    Levy's Plan

    Do you think it was known in the upper strata of the club that Levy was leaving in the summer? In hindsight with Vinai coming in, Donna Cullen (I think) leaving before Levy, it looked to me like there was a plan there from earlier in the summer that Levy would be leaving and that the summer was...

    Cristian Romero

    Will be really good to have him back. I know he's not perfect, I know we've been brick with him in the team too. But he's one of few who has both the quality, bravery and mentality to make a difference. Not saying he will be enough of a difference maker to fix our problems, but perhaps he can do...

    Conor Gallagher

    Can't see how he's good enough to be our highest paid player. But also think he's a very good player. But he was never the solution to our problems this season and although somewhat better than some of those other options in midfield he's essentially one of several decent/good options of many...

    Archie Gray

    He really does. But also possibly at CB if we stick with a back 3 and don't have Romero, Danso and VdV all available. Our best ball playing CB after Romero and for sure we need to be able to keep and progress the ball.

    Micky van de Ven

    Still a really good player who if the situation is different next season can be excellent for us. Difficult to see how we get there right now, first we need to survive in the PL. But VdV is a really good player in the right setup for him.
