Knowing the defiency and lack thereof from our players, would have expected Frank to really set the team up tactically to make up for it. But so far we are just watching the same old slow build up of attacks the players have no sync of. They don't look like they trained together.Frank-Ball is so much fun
11 shots, 5 on target. They've doubled our XG.
The only reason we are still in this game is because of Vicario who half the geniuses on this site want dropped.
Nothing has changed from last year. When our back 5 aren't fit/available we look catastrophically easy to get at.
Praying, praying that this changes when Solanke is back
Id take Vincent Jansen over richarlison, he wouldn't score but he'd at least hold the ball up top .
Id take llorente over all our strikers
Franks got a bit of job coaching the kids into talents and trying to get the board to pay up for actual quality
Don't bet on it... this is Frank's ceiling.
We can’t build up because with the exception of Kudus, every player’s first touch is woeful. It takes about 3 seconds on the ball for anyone to make a pass and by then all of the lanes forward are shut down.
And as brilliant as Kudus is with his touch, he seems insistent on attempting to take his man on every chance he gets.

Yet its 0-0
Have you not seen the tackles he's put in?
You are missing an absolutely classic Tottenham performance away from home in Europe.
By classic, I mean typical.
Well not that bad.....
Odobert was easily our best outfield player that half
Quite a few on here wanted an upgrade on him in the summer...
Yeah no goals, no assists. Brilliant.
.Am I alone in thinking some people are way overrating Odobert's performance?
I'm just not seeing it, his end product is wank, he never looks like scoring.
I just feel the standards are on the floor if people are getting excited about that performance.
He's miles off the level we need.
It's not his fault, and he tries and he's young, but meh. CL game and that is our best LW we can offer, it's shocking from the club it really is.

Think his best game for us by a country mile having said that he has done f all with the ball. At least it’s progress and he is showing some intent.
We basically had no #10 or CF that half. Without a doubt, Monaco has better attacking players than us.
