here it is: we are actually worse defensively, in addition to offensively, when palhinha and bentancur play together.

Small aside but who was in charge of transfers when we decided that the better Blackburn prospect was Ashley Phillips?

I’ve been going to Spurs since 1989, this is the worst I’ve ever experienced. Not because the players are the worst or the results are the worst but because we’re not even aiming to be better.
We play like a club that wants to be no lower than 12th and no higher than 8th. #COYS #FRANKOUT

The reason our final 3rd decision making is consistently poor is we aren’t well coach or organized in possession. It’s not the players. They look like it’s preseason because it’s a neglected side of our approach to football.

Frank showed today that his team and these players can play decent if he lets them
It's that he chooses not to play that way

This was the fire Thomas Frank moment for me.
Playing defensively at home against Sunderland after taking a 1 goal lead. Club has plenty of front office and personnel problems beyond the manager, but this is entirely about the manager having a loser mentality. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Again, we gave up 2 shots, none on target, for 0.07 xGA in the first half and Frank rolls out his shit for the second half.
Just incredibly cowardly tactics from Frank once again.

Guys a draw here is a strong result, Sunderland was in 7th and as our well respected manager reminds us frequently we were in 17th last season. #coys

When people talk about Brentford's high number of goals scored last season, it was from situations like this rather than dominating an opponent.
The risk with defending a narrow lead is that cock ups can be very costly.
