Had more than enough of his negative ultra safe football, my eyes bled watching that gash against Brentford tonight, fair dues to any away fan attending that tonight, well within your right to boo that setup and performance at his behest.
 
Frank doesn't know who his best players are at each position. He doesn't seem to be able to recognize when certain combinations are working better than others. He doesn't seem to have a coherent vision on how to use our young talent, or how they should be developed.

I can't see him fixing any of this either. I really hope the board/exec don't plan to give him significant funds to spend, though he needs it.

Seems like we are going to drift around this level for awhile, while something percolates around in the backroom with the exec and board. Feels like we're in the doldrums like in the AVB/Sherwood era.

The fact his GK was booked for time wasting on 60 mins whilst we were 0-0 with Brentford speaks volumes

Unprecedented levels of non ambition and defensive tactics. Worse than Sherwood, worse than Nuno etc. he’s a disgrace and has no reason being here
 
I figure he will finish his he year and that will be that. Him talking about how good Brentford is at home and being happy with a draw don’t sit well with me.
But Brentford have been good at home?

By all means, beat on Frank, demand he gets sacked for the football, the results and the general mood.
But Brentford literally have been very good at home since last season.

If we'd had a manager who'd done well for us and, eventually, got a bigger job, we'd all be having s wet wank if he came back and paid us compliments.

I'm glad you raised that point.
From minute one, it was blatant that, once again, Frank sent the team out "not to lose." It's gutless football. Watching the scenes at full time, I understand the fans.
It's fucking boring, it's predictable, and it is embarrassing to fear Brentford. I don't care what their home form is like; we didn't look like scoring.

Yeah it’s a smal point but it’s clearly intentional and underlines the not to lose strategy

Any other manager would have their GK speeding up play and see it as two points dropped. This bloke reeks of mid table and has no place at Spurs. Times up

We finished 6th during the Sherwood era

We're getting nowhere near that anytime soon

This is far worse than that , this is more in line with the late 90s, early 2000s
 
We've kept 1 more clean sheet at the halfway point this season than ALL of last season.
Currently 4 goals less conceded too.

The defence has improved.
It needed improving, and it has.

Whilst some fans are baying for blood after Vicario "time wasted" yesterday, in the 2 seasons prior, you'd have been spitting venom (at venom) that he rushed, gave the ball away, and conceded.

Also, IMO, the yellow was an insult after the years and years of oppo keepers doing it to us, far worse, and getting away with it.
 
If they don't back him in January he's got a tough road to walk .
He doesn't seem to have any idea what his best team is , chops and changes players and positions ad hoc , a smart 20mins gets you a start next game etc , a quiet couple of games gets you an extended break .
Doesn't have any grasp of what subs to utilize to change a game up .
All a bit vanilla , and I was happy with his appointment .
Serious buyers regret for me now .
Frank doesn’t deserve backing. I’m deadly serious.
