Got to give him a transfer window now that our owners are promising commitment to the footballing side ( chinny reckon)
I didn't see but according to commentators the penalty was unlucky.
We didn't get dicked on though did we... They scored a worldie and a pen and we had the higher xg.
I'm sure he wasn't pleased with conceding 5 but there were definitely positives and a huge improvement from the goons game.
Some on here are acting like we were completely dismantled last night, I don't like to be one that relies too heavily on stats but:
Total Shots
PSG : 13
Spurs: 11
Shots on Target
PSG : 7
Spurs : 5
We cut out 1 or 2 silly mistakes (penalty was unlucky) and that's a game we get something out of.

Yep. Got to build the team around this one.

This kid looks unreal good in person. Just glides with the ball. A real player.
Alan? Is that you?
I wish Frank would act like he's in charge of a big club. A bit more arrogance
I don't like him saying he's pleased with the performance. We got hammered ultimately
He can say he was 'pleased with aspects of the game but it's still not anywhere near where we need to be '
Being content with that performance is something you'd say if you're still in charge of Brentford

If we concede only 3 against Fulham I am sure he will be very proud
It would represent massive progress after shipping 4 and 5 in the last week

You are 100% right... he wasn't pleased with conceding 5
He was "very pleased"
He actually said he was VERY pleased... it's astonishing... it's like a CEO announcing the annual results... Revenue down, Costs up, we lost 100m but I am very pleased with these results. He'd be sacked by the board. And that is what our board should do.
We'll do well to get anything from the Fulham game... I don't see a world where we will dominate Fulham like a big club should be doing.
Yeah I agree with you tbh. These are the games we've been most disappointing in this season. That Wolves 1-1 result looks worse and worse every week. Home defeats to Villa and Bournemouth too.
But its now or never. Fulham and Brentford at home this week either side of Newcastle away. We have to win the 2 home games or the the same questions just get louder
I agree.... 6 points from 9... I'd go as far as to say we shouldn't be shitting the bed at St James Park either. Yeah, tough place to go but they've had the CL/PL grind and they have been struggling so maybe 7 points is par... but anything less than 6 and we are heading to lower half of the table yet again... AND silence from those in charge... I thought the new CEO was suppose to be a strong communicator... after sucking Levy off over a nice glass a wine he's AWOL... maybe it's time for the Vinai OUT chants to get going!!! Once a gooner cunt, always a gooner cunt!!!
For the first time I genuinely believe he's on thin ice. I think he needs time and transfer windows to bed in, but time is a luxury Spurs managers don't get rightly or wrongly.
I don't want him gone but I honestly think now he's gone by Christmas and we start the merry-go-round again, because it's cheaper than signing quality players.

We should have the option to play counter attacking when necessary, but it can’t be our go-to against the vast majority of teams.
I’ve got no complaints about the approach vs PSG; the execution was poor. We’ll see vs Fulham at the weekend.
We concede A LOT of goals and shots from the edge of the box; has Frank considered that maybe, just maybe giving supreme technicians and ball strikers the time and space to get shots off from range is just as detrimental as any “high line” without an intense organised press?
It's actually a big problem and a major flaw of his, his Brentford teams would camp in the box and leave a lot of space on the edge of it, we are the same, we've conceded chances in the same position, was the same in pre season as well - everyone gets sucked into the box and we leave room for the opponent to shoot on sight.
