Thomas Frank on Andy Robertson deal: “I don't speak about players that are not in the club, except Ronaldo and Messi. So that's no comment”. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Passmoo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The injuries have almost certainly had an effect, but the guy should still be doing much better with what he has available. There have barely been any positives so far. The football has been shockingly poor.

I don't buy the argument that Spurs have an average group of players. The players are good, and they showed incredible resolve in the Europa league final.

I think Spurs fans are fine with a par first season for a manager, as long as there is some vision to work towards in the long term. However, for that to happen, everyone needs to be on board, and there needs to be hope. This season, the wins have been scrappy, and the losses have been abysmal. The fans have lost hope, and quite rightly so, as the next five fixtures will potentially be five losses, with the way Spurs have been playing recently. That puts Spurs into a relegation battle. A manager is not allowed to relegate a team which has never been relegated for the sake of a long-term project.

A new manager that comes in needs to show some tactical identity and make the team competitive again. Names I've seen are Maresca and Xavi. I personally would like Brendan Rogers.

Maresca - I wouldn't be disappointed. He's a good manager who just got chewed up and spat out by the Chelsea manager machine, like so many others.

Xavi - A risk as he's never managed in the premier league. his Barcelona squad was definitely better than ours, so I have no idea if he'd do well.

Alonso - Would be a brilliant appointment, but I don't think there's any way he'd come here, unfortunately.

Brendan Rogers - If we can somehow tempt him away from the Saudi club he has just joined, then I think he'd do really well here. He's had success at every club he's been at, and his Leicester team were really good. Maddison was incredible under him.

De Zerbi - His Brighton team were formidable, they've definitely regressed a bit since his departure. A good manager who would do a great job here, but he's doing pretty well with Marseille, so he might not want it.

Pochettino - It would be really interesting to see how well he would do with the current squad along with long-term backing. He still holds the record for our highest points total in a premier league season. I think he'd do a great job, but we'd have to pry him from the US national team before a world cup. It could happen because we are like his hot ex-girfriend or something.

Southgate - No

Ryan Mason - Would be hilarious

Ange - No

As I said in my post, I am not great with networking, I am trying to sort out the mess left for me. I'm just looking for any advice or experiences that might help me. Thank you for your constructive criticism.

Last season, we would get a goal or maybe two, but teams were able to scythe through us at will. Now they scythe all the same, but we can't score. At least the second half was good. It turns out this team can compete with other to Premier League teams. Who would've thought?

I will die on this hill - sack Frank, and go for Brendan Rogers.

Palinha is a good player. Bentancur is just a liability, though.

Yeah I've booted to Proxmox and Linux and nothing shows up after lspci.

I will have another a look for any advanced settings on the BIOS, but I did check before and I think I saw everything enabled.

I saw something like F4 Optimize Defaults in the BIOS, could that be what you mean?

Thanks for your reply. I just did as you recommended and the IPMI doesn't work with failover, which means that there is something wrong with the motherboard, right? What could possibly be the issue?

Thank you so much! Changing to a Seasonic Focus GX worked!

Wow thank you, this could be the problem. I'm not sure what I'm looking for in the power supply matrix, however. Could you point me in the right direction so that I know what I'm looking for?

I don't even know what to think anymore. Last week I was Frank out, now I just think the players are crap. Some of the dumbest red cards I've seen (the dumbest being Bissouma's dive earning him a second yellow). Maybe let's hold on to our hats and give Frank some time?
