Was the midfield the issue today?
I’d say it was more our hapless frontline who couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo.

Palhinha ain’t a top 6.
A Top 6 can pass the ball and contribute to build up.
Frank should break off from the mentality of coaching a lower half side.
Attack is the best form of defence. For our home games against (non top teams), we should only start with one of palhinha or Bentancur. Xavi didn’t have much support in midfield because Bentancur was playing too deep. Xavi needs support from either Sarr or Bergvall in midfield for our attacks.
We definitely need to get in a striker and LW for the starting eleven in the summer .

I just don’t see the reason for playing 2 CDM’s at home, game after game.
It’s not like we’re creating bucket load of chances as it is.
We’re playing far too negatively.
We did create some pretty clear cut chances though.
It’s just our frontline is dreadful.
How does that fool know anything that will happen, when Frank is expected to cook with Tel, Odobert, Johnson, Richie???
The sentiment is dumb.
Has he explained how he would have brought home a dynamic win with that lot in our attacking pool and a final third that just doesn't work.
We're joint third top goal scorers without an effective final third.
Instead of accepting the attacking crucial deficiency he is having to work with and congratulating him on how he's dealt with having to use shit players up top, he gets negatively -- and completely incorrectly -- categorized.
What a joke this fanbase has become.
Do we even deserve good things?
Should have jusy kept that fat cunt to play eXcItEmEnTbAlL slop for the loser masses in this fanbase.
Passive football. lol what a fucking idiot.
"spursologist"
All the better to HEAR us with!Is it just me or are Thomas Frank's ears getting even bigger?
Precisely.
When you think of all the people who wouldn't have taken being two points off top after 8 games, after last season, you can understand the hysteria....still top 6
and more importantly still in front of Sunderland
We've had a pretty easy start and I'd say we are a little bit below par
Beating city - great. One point from Wolves, Villa and Bournemouth - awful.
I do think the injuries to Madders and Solanke (Kulu too maybe) have really affected us. Hopefully we'll be better once Solanke is back. I also think Xavi will improve as he adapts to the league.

Not sure what was happening there. Was three missed opportunities to make the sub when the ball went out of play. We seemed to lose a bit of concentration waiting for those changes as well and conceded.
The team lacks alot of quality. But so far I find his football dull.
And level with Chelsea who have spent how much……….?still top 6
and more importantly still in front of Sunderland
Solanke is crap. Whats he meant to do differently to Richarlison and Tel? Hes more of the same.
Madisson is hot and cold too.
The Palh Benta double pivot makes Palh look worse imo. I think he's best a deep central 6 and not as a 6/8 in a double pivot. I'm much more of a fan of him lying deep with two 8/10s playing either side of him.
needs to stop thinking the sun shines out of Bentancurs arse.
