Sen of the Wolf Clan

June 12

I spent all summer looking perplexed at the way people espoused over Thomas Frank. The evidence just wasn't there.

Not a conspiracy theory guy but there is alot of evidence to support this idea.

Finally.

For now, save this club from a relegation battle we shouldn even be in.

But don't forget the absolute chancers that appointed him, stuck with him and were happy to see us write off another season domestically.

To stay a big club you have to act like a big club.

1000% percent. They should be thrown out the door at the same time.

Thank heaven. He is finally gone.

I feel this in my mostly-dead heart.

Or who at least make more of an effort. Clear the players don't believe in Frank anymore. Evident to all except those who are in charge.

If we don't sack Frank, we go down.

It's that simple. It is glaring and for the board to ignore this dumpster fire is negligence.

TBH: kinda happy Frank won't have time with Deki or Madders as all he does with time is make players worse.

No doubt in my mind that if Kulu was here all season, he would be played as a RWB and would stop his posting on Instagram with inspirational quotes and Kendrick Lamar music backing them.

If Romero did that, he would tried for crimes against humanity at The Hague.

now that's the power of a union

Criticizing your country isn’t unpatriotic — this is 👇🏽

They are saying Kid Rock handed his Grammy to lil’ Kyle Rittenhouse during the halftime show.

(Not true. Kid Rock has never won a Grammy).

My takeaways from Bad Bunny nobody asked for

1. the inclusion of afro-Latinidad
2. the use of kids AS kids. they weren't doing much but vibing (said positively).
3. I think there are a lot of easter eggs that require repeat viewing
4. everyone looked like they were having so much fun

I'm so old I remember "In Living Color" doing a halftime show with a clock in the corner, to make sure we didn't miss the 2nd half.

I'd prefer to bring in a manager who knows how to get the best out of him. Someone who actually has achieved something more than "keeping Brentford up". It can be done/ was done during the past 2 seasons.

But different strokes for different folks.

Hmm, no. No they do not. Even Palace and West Ham play more expansive football than we do. Their counters are actually effective and they know how to keep teams at arms length (at times).

Bournemouth, Brighton, Newcastle also do not play terror-ball. Even Leeds are more exciting than us.

Lolol, ok guy.

Frank and system are the issue, which is why we lead the league in poor discipline. Romero, an aggressive World- Class defender, is not the reason. He is a symptom of the problem.

I don't need to know much more about tactics when there is that glaring correlation.

An attacking/ possession-based system puts less pressure on the individual player in defending because they are defending for less of the time. Easy correlation.

Under Frank, we are always the team with the lesser % of possession, the lesser xG, less chances, etc.

The system invites the mistakes.

It's not that it is making our players make bad decisions.

It's the fact that we are constantly putting our players in the position to make bad decisions. A reactive system that allows pressure upon our team puts our players into these positions repeatedly. Hence us leading the PL in yellows.

Excellent move to create that chance for the women. Should have finished low but great chance!

Under Ange we were high and constantly under transitional pressure, but Cuti kept his head and was controlled because he is the best defender in the world in that type of system.

Reactive systems/ gameplans lead to these types of rash challenges. We lead the league in yellows. It's the system.

Watergate, but if someone was killed.

Because Romero is a front-foot, ball-playing aggressive defender. Frank's style is to play a passive low-block then counter.

Frank's style is more fitting for slower defenders who excel in aerial duels.

See Cuti's record under Ange or Scaloni. Those two managers play to Cuti's strengths.

I cannot stress how much Frank's face, voice, his inability to be a leader and inspire others, and him chewing gum makes me want to stab the man.

Good thing I am not even in the same hemisphere as him.

The media has always hated that Spurs have had a decent run of relative-success over the past 2 decades instead of being lower/ mid-table like we were in the 80's and 90's.

They want to keep up the narrative that Spurs are small and we should be happy being mid. Frank helps with that narrative.

They are high-line defenders, not sitting-deep-in-your-own-box types.

Look at the discipline record under Ange. Cuti is a controlled aggressive, front-foot defender. Frank wants passive, safety-first defenders who don't leave their own 3rd.

Also Ange was a winner. Cuti respects winners.

2/2

Regarding Frank towards Cuti: If not for Cuti and his "aggressive mindset", Frank would have been out of a job after Newcastle. Or after Dortmund. Or after Burnley.

Frank's tactics of "winning duels" leads to us playing on the back foot, reactive, which doesn't work with VDV and Cuti.
