Think we will be hard to beat under Frank. Has better quality players at his disposal as well.

I'd be quite happy with this. We've been too easy to beat in the league for too long. Same old goals, same old scenarios, teams setting up in the same old way to nulify us.
I just want to see us become more stubborn at the back and try something different at the front.

I reckon AVB spent months coaching that into Carrol.

Because I was hugely Ange out, and vocal about it, for a very long time, I'll say what I hope to see from Frank.

I want him to have us in the mix in the top 6. Whether we get top 4, or we just miss out, that is sometimes down to a bit of luck. If he has us any higher, fighting for the top 3, well that would be outstanding.

But more importantly. I want to see steady improvement.

I want to see a team that is organised. Highly motivated. Hard to beat. Dynamic. Has structure. Can look forward to a game knowing that we will turn up.

If we do that consistently, we will achieve things.

The bar has been set so low by Ange, it really couldn't get any lower.

Frank won't have to do much to improve on that and have the fans onside.

If the clowns who were Ange in, were happy to accept 22 league defeats in a season, then they should be all over Frank when he has us in the top half.

And for the people who say Brentford played like Stoke, do you even watch football? I mean wtf?

Brentford were a goal machine.

I usually have a bet on football, and I was always looking at over 2.5 goals in Brentford fixtures because they were so attacking and goal productive.

In fact, the big doubt for them, was keeping it tight at the other end. Often their games were goal fests.

So I think people will be surprised, how attacking we will be under Frank.

And let's be real here. Under Ange, our attacking football, particularly this year, was utter shit. Many games we looked totally ineffective going forward and never looked liked scoring. We haven't watched good football for a very long time.

So if we do start out a bit slow under Frank, what difference does it make?

I just want to see that too. It hasnt felt like that since under Conte when we were chasing fourth (and obviously Poch before that).

Front foot football. Compact team. Energy. Ideas. Being able to attack and defend set pieces. Players knowing the game, when to foul, when to time waste etc.

Recruitment of clever, technical players.

Honestly, it really shouldnt be as hard as we always seem to make it. Just sensible grown up football please from a team other sides do not want to play.
 
I've not felt this positive about a Spurs managerial appointment since Poch. Even though Jose and Conte are winners, there was still so much uncertainty and worry with how they'd pan out under Levy. I have a really good feeling about Frank.

I've always been confident he was the perfect fit in regards to tactics and approach. I just felt that it didn't give the right impression to bring in someone that hasn't won anything straight after we finally won something.

In regards to tactics, being adaptable, personality and man management I have no doubts with him. He was the one I wanted from the very beginning and who I voted for when near enough nobody did, such is my confidence with what I've seen.

It was nothing to do with not winning 12-0, it was a dreadful performance on top of months of dreadful performances before and after it. We were lucky to escape Ibrox with that draw. We looked second rate all over the pitch to a team which has never really recovered from going out of business.

And the shambles of a performance against Tamworth also needs a mention!

one of my favorite spurs highlights ever. like a missile through the night sky that explodes into the crowd behind the goal. that's when i knew we had the best player in the world. i can't find it but there was a joke tweet i think that said, 'found by the grounds crew post match' with a pic of a post it note that said 'pass it to bale'
