Anyone Worried about the Thomas Frank Spurs new look heading up North ?

going to be grim weather in Leeds for Saturday with a fair bit of rain and strong gusty breezes up to 50mph........
apparently attributed to storm Amy currently developing in the Atlantic and over my home currently....... warm here at 20c but slinging it down with rain and a battering wind........ conditions that may just suit our style of play and tempo better than Spurs....... and ideal to test their goalkeeper Vicario precarious decision making.

Alan Shearer has predicted a Leeds loss every time for the last 6 games. Now, he has predicted ..draw. Thats concerning as the guy is pretty poor pundit. Great player though.

Shearer 🤐

after walking the dogs and now all dried off from the rain i actually trolled through the Spurs match reports.......... it was that or translating a long piece for wanting interested parties regarding the Milan clubs plan to now rebuild their iconic old San Siro stadium....their home for many long years.....which is set to be demolished after the city council approved its sale to AC Milan and Inter Milan on tuesday after a heated debate lasting 12 hours okayed the decision by 24 votes to 20.......

the two clubs agreed the plan to tear down the 99 year old stadium and jointly build a new 71,500 seated arena as part of a 1.2 billion euro project......... so an emotional topic for Milan club fans dotted around.

back to our match......all of the press reports pinpoint Thomas Franks Spurs away tactical weaknesses have been often highlighted by their focus on his man marking defensive system not clicking in....... which has been subject to frequently being undone.....as in the main he uses a wide attacking set up...... which exposes areas of space in midfield and at the back for teams to often exploit......

when we get possession catching Spurs high then they are liable to fold...... every Spurs away match report records that all teams playing at home have been able to exploit their prefered advanced position set up..... with long direct balls into the danger areas often leaving their defence prone to flap and losing the ball frequently......

would think Frank will know that problem will suit our strengths........ so he will set out selection wise accordingly with a stout defensive possession based game plan designed to grab a point..... as their forward line is certainly been poor of late.....

interesting to see if he gives a start to Gray somewhere in his line up....... whatever we certainly do not want to give an early goal away to dampen the Elland Road crowd effect on matters.....
