Manager Thomas Frank

[Sidford]

He has to go.

2 shots and both from our CB. All we do is get it to Kudus and try and cross it. That's it, that's the whole fucking strategy.
It's all the shit parts of conte and Jose ball without any of the charisma or hope that he can do better because he's won so much in his career.

 

[Shadydan]

I'm gonna need some performances Frank...

 

[Bale'sGolfBat]

We look like a team that have never played together before, that’s damming.

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

If things don’t improve until the Liverpool game…

 

[Phomesy]

I spent the first 2 months warning people that the underlying numbers looked awful for us and tonight was no different..

BUT THAT POINT TASTES SO FUCKING SWEET

Hopefully that pushes us on for a difficult December period.

Assuming that he's getting at least the next game with this late draw, it has to be played with a midfield and a frontline of something like this:

Bergvall-Simons
Odobert-Kudus-Tel
RKM​

Hahahhahahahahhahahahhahaha

Why stop there, mate!
I'd also go with Odobert in goal and CB pairing of Richie - Scarlett.

We have three midfielders with little to no ability to pass the ball forward in Sarr, Bentancur and Palhinha. None should be playing unless and until there's some kind of an improvement in our non-existent passing patterns. Put some kind of a framework in place first, and then try to fit those guys into that picture if you really can't do without them.

He has absolutely no reason to continue to cling on to his reactive managerial instincts that have taken him this far, as we've been terrible defensively for most of his time . That's 17 goals conceded in last 10 league games now, which would make 64 over the course of a 38 game league campaign.

RKM and bergvall have to play, id go simons and gray too, give us players who actually look comfy on the ball and play with their heads up.

 

[nicoclaesen]

I’m done with this manager. There will be loads on here that because we drew it’s all good and this could be the turning point. Is it fuck the turning point. 2 shots on target from our centre half. Without Romero and VDV we are a bottom half team. No creativity. No invention.
An absolutely woeful performance that will cover the cracks. Not for me.

 

[VonnegutBusy]

Still very little to cling to there as far as Frank getting a tune out of us.

Players are still fighting but the system is just awful and they are not being set up to control games or progress the ball and create. Must be as grim to play in as it is to watch.

We might sneak a win at the weekend but i doubt we will ever see a good 90 mins under Frank.

 

[CroSpurs]

Is this the meet up for the entitled part of our fanbase? He has proven himself in the PL, and yeah, it might take a bit of time. Ridiculous thread...

Dogshit performances. It doesn’t take 6 months to have a attacking plan. I mean Frank has one and that’s crossing, big on crossing - he’s said that in interview. I’m just bored, I wanna be excited and we’ll probably never be under this manager. Unfortunately.

If you want to know what this number actually means, I'll simply tell you that we conceded 65 last season.

Palhinha
Bergvall - Xavi

That's the best we can hope for. At least 2 of the 3 being technical.
Sadly he will start Richarlison.

I said that about 70 mins in that it must be horrific playing up front for us.

 

[thinktank]

Welp, at the very least you can't say the players aren't playing for him, or don't believe in him.

I like Frank but it’s a mess. I don’t know how or if he makes us better.

Cool.

Enjoy watching those nothing players for the defensive solidity that they in reality don't provide while we keep shipping goals at the exact rate that we were doing under the previous gung-ho manager in a historically bad season.

Think it's just personal pride at this point.

Much like winning the EL. It was nothing to do with playing for Ange. The players are playing for themselves.

 

[glacierSpurs]

I'm so done to a point I'm just seeing how else he will tinker our squad each game to make it worse than the previous one. And he has no desire to win, he just hates losing. So we only wake up whenever we are trailing.

And honestly I don't see much rapport between him and the players after full time. Players took more comfort with Ange despite him being the type keeping a distance from players.

 

[Kaz Hirai]

Needs to shake off his coward gene if he wants to last .
Absolutely wed to a defensive double pivot even when chasing the game taking off bergvall instead of bentancur

Great point but 2 shots on target all game and 2 goals is not sustainable as I'm sure he knows

 

[JDefoe]

Welp, at the very least you can't say the players aren't playing for him, or don't believe in him.

I don’t think they are playing for any system he is trying to implement. If there is a style of play we’re going for the players aren’t going for it.
