Frank's start has been very similar to Mouhrino's start in the way that we've never really looked convincing but we've got away with quite a few results.
It's got the same sort of feel to it that from the outside the results seem positive, but when you're actually watching the games, they're absolutely horrendous to watch and you can't shrug the feeling that sooner or later were going to get hammered.
Obviously the two managers are nothing like each other but the 'feel' of this start seems remarkably similar.
And that's why we should never take anything for granted online.
All the best for your brother, you and your family.
Very poor from almost everyone tonight.
I think the only player I was happy with was Gray. I'd also spare Richy a bollocking as he had absolutely no service. Everyone else seemed to be well off it.
Obviously the positive is we pulled it back for a point and I like that we have. Performance on the whole was awful though.

It's insane the takes I am reading tonight.
Yes we played poorly.
Frank played a team to rest as many as the starting 11 as he could.
But the squad just doesn't have the depth required, yet some how asked to lead us to the CL, with a in-cohesive mess of a squad.
And we have only lost 1 in 9 games in all competitions?
Have to be honest. I was sceptical when appointed. Let's see how season pans out. Tbh I miss poch.
We've been poor in most games with our best starting eleven.
I'm not a professional manager, so sadly I won't be able to try to my hand.
I don't see how he can be absolved of this circumstantial blame. Ange wasn't, rightfully so. Nor should Frank. Tactics and selections have been poor. Subs poor. If we even half decent going forward and just couldn't put the ball in the net, id be happy enough. But we look completely devoid of any idea. There are worse sides than this, believe it or not that can play well. The Bodo side for a start.
I'm sorry but this is just football devoid of any ideas or plan. There aren't the little green shoots I foolishly hope to see in every game. It's the same one dimensional stuff. Teams are creating good opportunities against us and not scoring. That won't last forever. Our fixture list has been kind. When it ramps up at the end of next month, we're fecked if we play like this.
We've also played out best football with 5 at the back so far, I fucking hate it, but those have been the best performances, but he won't go back to it and keeps persistong with this same formation which has to shoehorn one of our shit left wingers into the starting XI. This just feels like a bad fit.
Leeds will come at us, that's what they do. As long as we compete it should suit us really. I hope Gray gets a start, we need a bit of new energy.
Do these long throws we chuck in look dangerous? I just think a defender is going to head that away. Wimbledon....shit!
Glad you agree with me lol
Nah he'd get shown up by Williams-Barnett.
100%
Leeds is another not lose, more than it is a must win.
Get to this latest and pointless international break with one defeat would be more than decent.
Then if we can get Muani and Solanke on the pitch and if Frank releases the shackles, then who knows
But so fat not bad at all.
That is because people don't take a step back and look at things critically.
It was clear the squad depth was no there. It is clear a lot of player are mediocre, but to many fans don't want to face reality...
We do not have the depth of squad to challenge on all fronts, and we need to survive till January to make some very much needed acquisitions... Which is never an easy thing in January.
To be fair, it was a really slick flair move for the attacker to make space for the shot- that goal would look great in any league.
Yup.... But because we've only lost once, it papers I we the cracks
What a daft comment. I"ll talk football with anyone adult enough to do so.
What did you do? Oh yeah, attempted to ridicule me with ageist "jokes" about how senile I must be because of my age. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm still in full control of my faculties.
My knees however - are a nightmare.
When it comes to supporting Spurs, I don't quit and I don't fall into depths of despair because things aren't going well. neither do I seek to have players hung from lampposts because they don't play like Pele.
I wouldn't go that far, but it was a very pathetic display
