Under Frank I think with our first XI we give all those sides a game (except PSG).
The issue is the attacking depth is absolute dross so he needs to get creative with rotation.
Is there a way to just rotate between Richy, Kudus and Xavi and leave the other mugs at home?
Vic
Danso - Romero - VDV
Porro ------------------- Udogie
Pal - Gray
Bergvall
Kudus --- Xavi

Poor team selection again tonight.
He needs to stop playing Bergvall in the 10. Simons has not looked great but needs a run of games there to get his confidence and sharpness up. Gray should get a go in the 8, looked lively tonight.
Our attacking transitions and progression were horrible. Not helped by BJ playing like an utter cunt and an uninspiring midfield. Cochrane needs to get his finger out - you can shore up your defensive structure and work on attack at the same time.

Agree. Frank is no messiah by any means, but by and large this squad is pony. His appointment was because he gets more than the sum of it's parts from his squad. The club literally said the same themselves. I like Frank and I think he's a good manager, but he's no miracle worker.
WTF are you babbling about? What better way to take over than a team riding high on a fucking major trophy and all the investment a Champion's League place give you?
Frank has been unfortunate with the injuries to our best mids and forwards - just like Ange was when losing his back 5 for months last season.
Trust in Frank to sort it out when he has Solanke and RKM back but like Ange was sold short last year Franks been fucked by our refusal to buy quality mids who can fucking play quality football. That's the problem - not the bloke who won us a fucking European trophy ffs

They're still blaming the bloke for our current injuries btw
New manager bounce is over .
He's an excellent coach but even he can't make a midfield with no passing ability actually pass the ball
Not for long. They'll turn on Frank soon enough. Seen this play out so many times beforeThey're still blaming the bloke for our current injuries btw
He hasn't got the players he wants and so far there's positive signs in that we are not giving up and fighting until the end.
clear he doesn't fancy Tel, Odobert and Johnson on the left and doesn't fancy Gray centrally. Not even sure he really even likes Bergvall tbh.

Remember when people said the players wouldn't want to play for him....
He needs some teeth up front...
It's shit at the moment but bonus is we are still hard to beat, whether that's luck or design at the moment.
He needs time. No manager was going to come in and have us playing good football straight away.
We will need to get through this period. We were always going to have to go through something like this, we finished 17th last season.
we are also missing some important players.

Could have been worse. We could have had Harold Shipman in charge of medicals.They're still blaming the bloke for our current injuries btw
Yep. He's also working with a squad which was woefully undercoached for 2 years, just on easy Street getting beat every week and it being seen as acceptable. I think most of those players will never get the hunger back.
I don’t think either formation with these players makes much of a difference.
As they say you can put lipstick on a pig. But it’s still a pig.
This squad is full of bang average players.
It's bananas. I'm also getting told this all a mess that Daniel Levy left.....what? The players out there tonight should be more than enough to beat a Norwegian side. The side put out against Doncaster made them look good too.They're still blaming the bloke for our current injuries btw
Some completely mental takes here. I'm by no means saying sack the man. But if we don't see improvement this month, with the run that we have in November in December, then he could go. We look completely and utterly devoid of any ideas. And, to boot, teams are creating lots of opportunities against us in the last few games. They won't all be as wasteful as Bodo and Villarreal.
