Another draw. From being 2 down it's okay. Not brilliant but.....

I think we have to accept where we are as a club.

We lack star quality at present, but also need to give Frank time.

He can't change average players, so understanding that and not knee-jerking at every moment of disadvantage is really important.

I must however say I was a tad surprised that we want to keep Bentancur. I don't see anything more than reliable, which is necessary, but our bar needs to be higher in my opinion. To me he typifies a top ten team.

This. We finished 17th in the EPL one point above relegation. Then we lost Maddison, Sonny. We are further ahead than we should be. Expectations need to be adjusted. BUT Frank needs to be more ruthless and more honest about how much we need to improve him included.
 
I like big Danso but he should never be allowed on an astro turf pitch again. Could quite possibly be the worst I’ve ever seen on the ball tonight. How he thought running with the ball was a good idea I’ll never know.

Is there a point making a plan when you have one decent winger, no decent 10 and a veeeeery erratic CF? I think he’s just hoping to work on defending and holding the ball until anyone who can score from free play comes back.

A long couple of months until Dom and Kulu are back - and even then I’m not so sure.

If the players are limited, Frank has to be more creative. Make smart combos that they prepare for the match. Our players are static, and that must also be on Ange.

The material that the Bodo manager has is in no way better.

We're Spurs now. Teams come with a different approach than when they play Brentford. They're sitting back more and Frank has to show that he can build a system that is threatening.

Do you not get bored with that same sentence? Do you have anything to add in a football context?

I think he thinks the players are being read our posts at half time. Lol! He gets we ARE NOT categorically not supporting the fucking side. Unless you are in the ground you have fuck all to do with it. Im mystified by this odd competition to be best imaginary supporter in the minds of some frankly very credulous people.

I think we've only improved because the defenders are being told to defend and we don't have 9 players in the final third. We were always going to be harder to beat with the quality of fenders we have. The football we've seen so far has been diabolical. Been saying for weeks and it's getting worse if anything. He's had a preseason, we went out and got the most players we have for an age. We got a AM replacement for the injured two, but he won't play him there, that's on him.
