    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    I agree, but still maintain that it's not just Palhinha and Bentancur, it's them and Sarr. And of the three of them Bentancur is the best "footballer".

    Complacency kicking in for a player with tired legs and a tired mind after playing a lot in a team that's struggled a fair bit and suddenly seems on track to a good performance and win?

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    Agree that this seemed a bit strange. Perhaps with our recent problems with form and results seeing this game out and getting a clean sheet was seen as more important for Frank? Perhaps also somewhat reluctant to have too many of the younger players on the pitch at the same time when a single...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    Yeah, difficult to say how much of that was us being better and them being poor. I also noticed the standing off. But none the less a good performance, and both ball progression and chance creation was good. I definitely want to see more of Gray in a role like that. Maybe it will be more...

    Hope it's Gray in a deep midfield (starting) position and we get him on the ball a lot.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    I guess you're being somewhat tongue in cheek? I will be curious to see how we approach this game. Against Villa for example we remained rather cautious with the game being levelled, throwing everyone forward at the end when behind. As long as the game is level are we playing to beat the other...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    My point was not that we should be able to play great passing football, just a response to the point about style/performance vs. results. What we haven't seen since then imo is consistency with great passing football. Imo we did see that at first under Ange and then after that in phases and...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    For sure great passing football leading to the same results as we've had so far wouldn't be enough to make people happy. But I think overall there would be more positivity about that than what we're seeing now. Also the case though that great passing football probably would have helped us win...

    Pedro Porro

    Lack of passing quality overall is an important factor imo. We know how vital that right hand side (Romero, Porro and Kudus) is to us. I also think Porro and Kudus are more of a natural partnership than Spence and Porro, though time may prove me wrong on that.

    Steff is already angry, don't have to make him furious 😉

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    Would like to see something like that myself. Would arguably our most attacking lineup since the Burnley game at home earlier this season if that happens? (may be some lineups I don't remember). Personally I'd like to see Gray over Bergvall in one of the two deeper roles. Think he's more secure...

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine 8:15pm Tuesday 2nd Dec. ***

    Quite sapping to defend like that too, always on the back foot, medium high press getting played through, having to run back. Trying to play, losing it, getting back. The way I see it it was more a result of us being able to play when Saudi Sportswashing Machine were no longer able to press as high. Or to put...

    Xavi Simons

    I'm hoping it's a matter of time before he sees Bergvall or Gray as ready for one of those deeper roles. I agree the 10 not dropping deep being an instruction. It could be removed. But it would also require some other tweaks, like one of the deep midfielders moving in the opposite direction at...

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine 8:15pm Tuesday 2nd Dec. ***

    Changing the intensity seems really important. But being so clearly second best and non threatening in attack for half of games (first 30 of the first half, first 15 of the second) is imo not a good strategy. Part of the benefit of defending, ceeding possession, is getting to counter attack...

    Pedro Porro

    Very much looks like the exhausted Porro we've seen several times. He tends not to get injured and he tends to play with a lot of intensity still. But his technical execution suffers.
