This is the biggest issue I have with Frank. I wasn’t a fan of the hire but I’m always willing to give a new manager time. Preseason, he showed his tactical flexibility playing several different formations and combinations of players.

Fast forward a couple months and all he’s done is play the same exact formation as Ange with the same players starting and subbing.

Nonsense.
 
assuming we won’t sack the jug eared, floppy haired fraud this month, and assuming we lose the next 3 or 4 we need to bring in a number 2 that understands attacking football, as opposed to this complete Scandinavian nerd with zero football IQ. He’s lost the dressing room, he needs someone to carry it for him.

Keep him away from the first team all week at training and bring him in to do the press stuff, and allow real football men to do the hard graft

You're an idiot.

Drop the lame, contrived name calling; you sound like a child.

What’s with all the personal insults? Idiot.
 
Tired of saying just give him time.

He's had tat to work with in the final third.

Kolo arriving tonight just showed what we've been missing.

And it's clearly CRITICAL to our attacking play.

Just as is udogie being back. He has to stay fit. Having that left sided left footed option opens up the pitch so much more. If I’m Frank the first thing I’m asking for in January is another solid left back option.

I'm not sure of how easy he would be to get, but I was really impressed by Monaco's left back when we played them.

He looked like he'd be a good rotation option for Destiny.
 
I know that he's said that he wants us to primarily play 4-3-3/4-3-2-1. But I'm hoping that last night can be a turning point where he is allowed to go back to shifting the formation round a bit more again.

We obviously lost in the end, but the 3 at the back setup against PSG in the super cup looked really good for that game. And we clearly have players that can play well in transition when asked to.

He can keep building the 4 at the back system. But we should be allowed to shift to the 3 for games that require it. And I do suspect that the 4 at the back is partially a mandate from above him like it was with Nuno.
 
More of that please, just let the technical players in our team play football. You can see the relationship the players had on the pitch.

He hasn't been stifling players.

Xavi just hasn't performed and decided to have a decent game last night.

Kolo properly arrived and it was him who made the difference with his skillset.

You can see he and Xavi will strike up a good understanding.

Odo blended better and you could see Kolo coming in will allow better chemistry to be formed in the final third.

That performance was much like how we played against Brighton where we should have won (sans the conceded goals).

It wasn’t a criticism of frank. He hasn’t been stifling we’ve just had some injury issues so it’s taking a bit longer. I’m just saying I want this to continue.

Xavi needs other technical players around him and he got that with Udogie Odobert and Muani. So now we’re able to play better and the players are developing more chemistry.
 
Even though the opposition were not top tier and probably under performed a bit, I won't use that to take away from a very good team performance. We need to use this game as a springboard against United. Win that game in similar vein and we can go into the International break on a high and prepare for those nomad cunts.
