Thomas Frank: Spurs ease pressure on head coach with rare home win

By Total Football News

Frank’s approach has been condemned as negative by his detractors – one more suited to Brentford than Spurs. That criticism was cranked up in November after the home defeat by Chelsea and the 4-1 loss at Arsenal in the north London derby, but the signs were positive here.

He has been hit over the head with poor expected goals (xG) statistics. So he can point to the fact that against

By Total Football News

I don’t believe Tottenham’s​ current identity is set in stone because we saw how Brentford evolved under him over a number of seasons and he is only just getting started here.

When they first came into the Premier League, Brentford had a very direct style and were also quite obvious or predictable in what they did.

If you watched them last season, though, it was a totally different approach. They

Stoke City 1-0 Wrexham: Thomas strike ends Potters’ winless run at Wrexham’s expense

By Total Football News

There had been the sense Wrexham had been steadily finding their feet in the Championship going into the international window.

Without a defeat in four, there had been growing signs of the summer rebuild starting to take shape as a side.

Conversely, after an eye-catching start, Stoke had slipped a little, dropping points, dropping down the table – and only scoring twice in their four games without success.

Before kick-off all seven of Norwich’s points so far this season had come away from home, and they left the bet365 Stadium having had to work hard to keep that unbeaten record on their travels going.

From the off they were under pressure, and Harry Darling had to be alert to snuff out an early sight of goal for Million Manhoef.

The visitors found it difficult to contain Manhoef early

Detectives started a investigation in February 2022 after police first received a report of rape.

Arsenal are in Singapore for their pre-season tour. They play AC Milan and Newcastle before travelling to Hong Kong to play Tottenham.

Arteta was asked in a news conference before they play Milan on Wednesday about the situation with Partey.

Brentford appoint Keith Andrews as Thomas Frank’s successor

By Total Football News

Brentford considered a number of external candidates for the job including Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna and Francesco Farioli, who left Ajax last month.

While owner Matthew Benham’s decision to hand Andrews the reins may be considered a gamble, it does represent a level of continuity in keeping with what has gone before.

Frank was promoted from his role as an assistant to take charge in 2018 when Dean Smith left
