I just hope Frank's no.1 priority was set piece defense.

Why you little Minx Mrs P.
Just makes a stronger case the guy is a long-term windup account...
Right on to Vuskovic's head for repeated easy goals!
Honestly though- a top strategy will utilize as many tools as possible to create chances against the opposition- stretch play in as many ways as you can- better chance of finding a way to unlock the opponent. Exciting stuff to see, for me at least.
I think Frank brought with him the set-piece coach he had at Brentford?
Sound like sour grapes to me!
Will be interesting to see if Frank adapts his approach at Spurs.
At Brentford, they topped the stats for long passes, time spent in the defensive 3rd, and outside of the relegated teams, had the lowest number of touches in the opposition 3rd. It was very much a sit back and chase long balls system. Brentford also had the 2nd lowest number of players dispossessed - suggesting a very conservative, risk-free approach.
The long ball approached worked with Toney & Wissa who could hold the ball up, and with Schade who could win headers. But I am not sure if Spurs have the players for this outside of Richy. Kudus for instance only won 20% of his headers last season (just 11 headers won all season) - which puts him in the top 5 worst headers of the ball in the league (Eze is number 1! haha).

He has to, there's no point in replacing a manager who was deemed to be too inflexible to change a style that wasn't producing results- until it did BIGTIME- with another infexible manager.
Eh.. What did the last manager's style do BIG TIME?
Georgson worked briefly alongside Frank at Brentford before moving to the gooners. He's also been set-piece coach at Southampton and most recently Man United.
I do find it odd that there are still people here who don't have you on ignore
Someone will be on trouble for taking this sneaky pic and distributing it
Must have been Maddison

It was Udogie.
What's all this talking to players in training nonsense
Well he does have better PL win rate than Frank whose PL win rate is apparently 35.53%. but with a squad that cost vastly less. According to The MailGave us a nice PL win stat of 40.8pc
A demented monkey could teach our players to defend set-pieces, especially corners better than they have been the last few years.
