Thomas Frank Told the Perfect Solution to Palhinha\u2013Bentancur Dilemma \u2014 and It\u2019s Already Working<\/p>\n
Thomas Frank appears to have found the right balance for Tottenham\u2019s midfield dilemma involving Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur, with pundit John Wenham highlighting how the system has already worked brilliantly this season.<\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Wenham said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI think for away games, as we saw it done to absolute perfection, like Man City away, it can work an absolute treat.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the home games, though, I think moving forward, the lessons have to be learned from the first four home games where we\u2019ve only got one win, two losses and a draw. So, the lesson has to be that this does not work in the home games.<\/p>\n
\u201cStart Palhinha in the home games, but put him next to Pape Matar Sarr or Lucas Bergvall, rather than Bentancur, to give us a runner in there, give us some energy, box-to-box style.
\n\u201cThe away games, I\u2019m still of the opinion, that we haven\u2019t lost a game, we\u2019re undefeated away, aren\u2019t we? So, I\u2019m still of the opinion that it works in the away games. I really am.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo for me, I\u2019d still be going with Bentancur and Palhinha every away game, and the home games, I\u2019d be going with Palhinha with a Sarr or a Bergvall and then also Xavi Simons in the 10.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wenham\u2019s assessment echoes what many fans have noticed \u2014 Frank\u2019s tactical tweaks away from home have been spot-on, while the home form still needs refinement. If the Dane continues to rotate smartly between Bentancur, Sarr, and Bergvall depending on the venue, Spurs could soon find the perfect midfield balance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
