42 h. ago Thomas Frank defends his ability to lead Spurs after Arsenal humiliation

Manager says ‘I’m 1000% sure I know how to build a team’Frank insists continuity under Arteta has helped ArsenalThomas Frank has given a robust defence of his credentials at Tottenham, saying he was entirely convinced of his ability to rebuild the club and lead it to success. The manager is under mounting pressure after Spurs’ 4-1 derby humiliation at Arsenal on Sunday, a result that extended a troubling run.Tottenham have won three of 11 matches in all competitions since the end of September and it has been as much about the lack of spark and identity in many of the performances. It was especially so against Arsenal when Frank set up in a 5-4-1 formation and watched his team fail to lay a glove on their rivals. Continue reading...

3 d. ago Thomas Frank desperately needs a performance from his stalled Spurs team

Tottenham manager can afford a midweek defeat in Paris, but the same does not apply to Fulham’s visit on SaturdayWelcome, then, to another of those Spurs weeks, where the executives are deeply concerned and it is impossible to ignore the sense of foreboding. The 4-1 derby humiliation at Arsenal on Sunday ensured the club are playing a game of crisis-baton hot potato with Liverpool and surely the last thing that the manager, Thomas Frank, needs is a Champions League trip to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.This is not the real fear because it is just about possible to paint the game against the European champions as a free hit. Even in the best of times, nobody would have expected much from Tottenham there and, with two wins and two draws from four matches in the competition, they can afford to lose this one.

3 w. ago Champions League review: Bayern shine, Cypriot history and Rooney v Van Dijk

This week’s action saw Vincent Kompany’s men roll on, surprise results and a brilliant performance from a Liverpool defender• Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich. They rule supreme in Germany and are on a 16-match winning streak. Beating the defending champions, Paris Saint-Germain, on Tuesday was further proof of Bayern’s credentials. Luís Diaz, whose combativeness is sorely missed by Liverpool, scored two, but he took the aggression too far when his challenge on Achraf Hakimi led to a first-half red card. That meant the second half became a test of defensive credentials that Bayern passed. “I also want us to enjoy it when we have to defend,” said Kompany. He was by no means his club’s first-choice as coach in the summer of 2024 – relegation from the Premier League with Burnley had damaged his reputation. But in Bavaria, the noise from the boardroom has been quelled – for now – by the brilliance of his team’s play. Continue reading...

3 w. ago PSG face an unusual problem: they are not scoring enough goals in Ligue 1

The European champions are only the fifth top scorers in Ligue 1 – behind Marseille, Lille, Monaco and StrasbourgBy Get French Football News“It’s both beautiful and frustrating,” says Luis Enrique. The Paris Saint-Germain manager has a complicated relationship with how his team’s league matches play out. When PSG are involved, one team attacks and the other defends. “I like attacking a low block,” he insists. “It is the phase of play that I am most familiar with. I am very respectful of how other teams play. It is a different kind of football from ours, it’s atypical, but I understand and accept it.”Accepting low blocks isn’t really a choice for PSG; it is simply their reality, a result of the talent imbalance created by financial imbalance. Their talent usually tells and the low-block is unlocked with varying degrees of difficulty. But it has been tougher this season. Continue reading...

People talking about your performance comes with the territory but when it starts to become about your character, and assumptions people make about you, that can be really, really challenging.”Between 2020 and 2023 Earps overcame depression, a drinking problem, eating issues, won the Euros with England, forced Nike to change their attitude to female goalkeepers, saved a penalty in a World Cup final and won the BBC’s Sports...
