This made me appreciate Thomas Frank more. Very underrated. Great manager.
This dude is certainly NOT underrated - just watch him getting a job at PSG (which will be a mistake on his side)
lmao
Your use of the word 'underrated' is very underrated.
I think nectarines are underrated. People need to appreciate them as a fruit more.
Underrated is the most frequently and incorrectly used term by IPF's like you in the comments section of YT.
I love how everyone is acting as though the other top coaches and staff aren't studying each other's tactics day in day out. He outlined their basic principles not specific tactics for individual teams.
Fr. They go much much more in depth. Mostly the little things.
7hag and poch clearly don't.
@@MTKashSmashrent free
Exactly, plus they aren't going to share their trade secrets in the modern football area.

As a Brentford supporter it's great to see us in the Premier League with a top manager like Thomas Frank. Never thought I would see the day but here we are. Long may it continue.
It’s been a hell of a rise for Brentford. Wasn’t that long ago I watched Peterborough stick 7 past them in league 2
Long may it continue, they are a great addition to the premier league ( and Brighton ) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Don't see you leaving to be honest, you play great footie with very good players.
Danish lad here and I was gutted when he left us in Brøndby IF - but boy am i happy to see him and Brentford doing so well, Thomas is a top manager and a super good guy🇩🇰💛💙
I hope you guys get European football for next season, totally deserving after playing excellent football since last season.
I would love to see more managers do this analysis. I really appreciate this from sky.
This is pretty basic stuff... there's lots of strategy videos you can find elsewhere. This isn't that novel. The most impressive thing is that he has time to spare for thi.
@@DamianOBrentford Stadium is literally down the road from Sky Studios. TF is probably happy for a reason to be away from the Mrs for an evening and get paid. It would be more impressive if Eddie Howe from Newcastle came down to do Monday Night Football.
@@ShootYourShot90not Mrs Frank just catching a stray like that 😂
Probably wouldn’t want to give anything away
Won't have helped that after discussing tactics on Monday, his team went out and got very easily turned over by a struggling Everton team.
He is doing a good job at Brentford 👏🏾.
I'm not a Brentford supporter but really like the job he's doing there
Good is an understatement
Brought them up, made them European worthy, good is an understatement
We absolutely love this bloke. He’s so intelligent. Couldn’t ask for a better coach at our club! 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
this guy is just about the most intriguing manager in the league, cant help but like him!
Thomas Frank is an S tier manager. He really is one of the best in the league. There arnt many managers that could do what he has done with Brentford
I can't get over the fact Brentford were the only team to do the double over Man City last season.
They also took points off of every big six team at least once.
Their heads were somewhere else in the second game tbf
@@fjandinner3532they were lucky against arsenal on that offside goal
@@chrisking8579 Well yeah.. but they still played really good against other big clubs
@@chrisking8579 Still super impressive for a team likey Brentford to play that Well consistently against all these big clubs
Most underrated manager in the league
Very much so. Really hope he doesn't get the sack he's an elite manager
@@Don_DewittHe's not elite. But he is very good.
@@3DPrintingWithDaz how is he not? Brought them up and made them European challengers, he is most definitely an elite manager
@@Don_DewittI believe that's a reference to Simon Jordan's view on "elite" managers 😀 . You'd have to have watched TalkSport.
@@Don_Dewitt Well he hasn't won anything has he? To me elite managers are serial winners.
You can't have a serial winning coach being elite and having a coach that hasn't won anything also elite.
I unfortunately support Man u and Ten hag is not elite either.
Thomas Frank he's a very good coach,but not an elite one yet.
He's so good with his brilliant legislatics, even with sharing this, it still cancells out the bigger teams strong points take out the stronger parts of the teams makes it still so difficult to change the play style for the opposition and if he see that they found a way to change it and somehow works he will change his strategy, hes the only thing he has gave is the fundamentals of his strategy and alot of this is is so easy to adjust to make it work if all goes wrong, as a liverpool supporter I've enjoyed playing against brentford, they are such an underrated team and the brains behind the team is so impressive!
Curious where you learned the word "legislatics"
Same
Beautiful honesty, very refreshing for the everyday fan who wants more insight behind the scenes
This is the type of content we want to watch. More active managers talking about the current game.
This made me appreciate Thomas Frank a lot.
They are people saying he is underrated but I'm sure he will get his chance.
With less cash compared to big clubs but he made them struggle.
You didn’t need to watch this to appreciate the work that he has done. Brentford’s rise speaks for itself.
I could watch Thomas explain the ins and outs of football managers between the games for hours it's so interesting
Guy gives Klopp's vibes with how he presents himself both in personality and football IQ. Future LFC manager?
What a great video, gave a insight on how managers prepare and think 👍🏽
These are the things I love most about football. It’s like chess. So beautiful.
Honestly went over my head, smart guys these managers
To think he was Dean Smith's assistant manager yet he turned out to be a certified premier league class manager whereas Dean Smith is a regular/basic British coach 😮
Yeah that’s weird
Sounds like you have a prejudice towards “British” coaches
Not really surprising. Clearly had his own ideas
@@mattvanemden7573 there are only 2 british coach that understand modern football, Howe and Potter, the rest are 4-4-2 lovers
@@TheDarkKnightRacisthowe still has the 442 philosophy
Great respect for Thomas after this. He sounds like a great guy as well as a top manager
I love when coaches talk their tactics. Thomas Frank has done it a few times for us and it’s fantastic.
I absolutely love his analysis . A great manager indeed .Such managers make the premier league interesting .
What an honest man talking about his team tactics. I'm certain he will make slight adjustments and tweaks when he gets to team training knowing the opposition coaches would have tuned in to watch his narration on Sky. Brilliant guy!
Great manager with what he’s got, not everyone have the cash flow of those big teama
This was an honest and Frank conversation
Thomas Frank is criminally underrated. He's competent in all styles: possession and counter-attacking. He's very nordic in that sense. A nordic player will be good technically, sound defensively and that's about it. Not too much skill. Just sound. That's how i rate this manager: he's averse to risk, unalike Emery or Dezerbi.
Nordics are programmed npcs
This guy's Metal is the most vital thing, making players believe. Respect
Would love to see other managers coming on here and talking about tactics. Would be interesting to see what managers think about when coming up against certain teams. I'm a Forest fan and we swapped from our usual back 3 to a back 4 tonight against Burnley and it would be interesting to see what Steve Cooper was thinking about and what strategies he thinks of when he made that decision.
Love this.. more tactical talk please.
respect to him for being opened and sharing the inside tactic with the football fans
Looool he hardly even went in depth, but it was better than the usual shite we get from micah Richards etc 'they wanted it more'
He didn’t reveal anything that the other 19 Premier League managers didn’t already know about Brentford - they all study each other’s tactics and game plans.
It's very enlightening. Well done Thomas Frank! 👏👏👏
I have a lot of respect for Thoams Frank, top 4 managers in the prem imo. Respect from Liverpool.
It would be interesting to see Eric Ten Hag's tactics for playing against big teams too
Honestly seems like he doesn't change his tactics. 😊
4231 try to play possession football.
@@Collerz7POSSESSION FOOTBALL😂😂😂😂😂
@@Collerz7 Low block doesnt count as possesion football.
This was a great segment to watch
Double on City is crazy
As long as you have 1 game/week this works, but probably harder to accomplish if 2.
This was brilliant, please can you do more like this
This was a really cool segment
Very insightful! It is remarkable how Brentford has been developed under Tomas Frank over the years
The details in the modern game are exceptional. Pep has changed everything and made it so much harder to win.
*Cruyff
Excellent bit of analysis.
Brilliant guest! So insightful and interesting to listen to
An elite manager, brought Brentford up and they're thriving! Top bloke
We just making every manager elite these days
@@JohnBaillie18 Would you not say that the Premier League is elite? The best in the world? So of course a lot of PL managers are going to be called "elite". How often do you hear a League 1 or even a Championship manager be called elite? By playing/coaching in the best league of the nation you are almost by definition an elite manager.
@@mmgmartintv no he’s not, let’s nip this in the bud right now. Elite managers are:
-Pep Guardiola
-Jose Mourinho
-Alex Ferguson
-Carlo Ancelotti
They are elite managers. The best of the best. Serial winners who demand nothing but continued and relentless success. Thomas Frank is a good manager, more than good enough for the prem, but until he wins trophies consistently, either at Brentford or (more likely) elsewhere, he is nowhere NEAR elite. This is the same stupid mentality that makes every player who stays at a club for more than 5 years a ‘legend.’
@@JohnBaillie18 While it's true that the Premier League is widely regarded as one of the most competitive and prestigious leagues globally, the term "elite" doesn't necessarily have to be limited to managers who have won numerous trophies. Thomas Frank's achievements should still be recognized within the context of what he's done for Brentford. Managing a club that has risen from the lower tiers to the Premier League and is thriving there is no small feat.
Moreover, there's room to acknowledge that the definition of elite can be somewhat subjective. It can encompass factors like innovation, player development, and the ability to consistently perform at a high level, even without a cabinet full of trophies. While it's crucial to honor the legends of the game, it's also essential to recognize emerging talents like Thomas Frank and their potential to become elite managers in their own right.
It's similar to how the discussion around elite players in football can become limited if we only consider players who have won multiple Ballon d'Or awards or a slew of major trophies. There are countless players who, while not in the same tier as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, have still had outstanding careers and have contributed significantly to their teams' success.
In the same way, defining elite managers solely based on a small number of names could miss out on recognizing the unique qualities and contributions of others. It's crucial to acknowledge that the football world is vast, with room for different interpretations of what constitutes elite management. Thomas Frank, for example, may not be on the same level as the four mentioned, but his achievements should be celebrated as part of the broader tapestry of football excellence.
@@mmgmartintv im not reading all that mate agree to disagree if it means that much to you
Fantastic manager and decent club in Brentford
Grt man , thanks for the good work Frank .I wish u get a big team .
his project at brentford is just amazing
I'm probably alone on this, but if/after Klopp leaves, I want Frank to be our gaffer. What he's done with his club and on a budget is impressive.
I'm city fan but he would be good for LFC after Klopp
What about De Zerbi?
Steve Cooper has history at LFC
I'm with u aswell brother
@ragegemini I don't trust him at all
I love these videos man
Interesting that they focus on their defensive qualities when they have produced so much xG this season attacking
he is one of the most underated managers he shouyld be talked about as clear third yet gets put behind others who would not be able to do what he does. its not just lack of money he deals with l;ook at what a manegr can physically imaopct he is best at it with late subs and tactics and records against these clubs he is soo good its scary how the football world works sometimes
Kind of shows that a manager should be able to adapt. There's no reason top flight managers and players cant interchangeably play 4 or 5 back but some teams really struggle with that
I really enjoyed this ❤❤
as a norwich fan how can u not like thomas frank such a great man and a great manager i hope he gets brentford a eurpean spot this year
For me one of the best managers in the Pl. Brentford is always tactically prepared for every opponent. Especially the stats against big 6 sides ist remarkable. There isnt any team right now who is as good as them against „better“ teams.
Jamie put sum really interesting footballing questions indeed 💯 ..
Favourite manager by far
Fascinating stuff
big up Thomas Frank
this was fascinating
Erik Ten Tag prep : Watch a dutch film for an open defence
I think we've found the new England manager guys!
He's not English.
@@fplgod5811the English FA don't care about that
@@randomdaveUK I do
Good tactics insight
Great communicator.
Would love to see Pep in the studio like this
He is doing a very good job 👍
Master class!
The brentford crest is really nice.
Great manager
More of this pls
Great guy..
He’s a great 👍 manager
Now I know the reason why Brentford lost to Everton today😀😀😀 Thomas revealed His game tactics to Sean Dyche here.
He’s got the magic touch
Proper coach
thomas frank : Man U Play me
I love Thomas Frank.
He has a mediocre Team, that is punching way above their weight and yet he knows exactly how to get the most out of them.
I would love to see what he could do for a top PL Side (Chelsea? Man Utd?), if this is what he can do with Brentford :0)
Brentford’s team is far from being mediocre. It’s also the whole set up from within the club on how we succeed generally. Frank is just the face of it to neutrals.
@@rameyj8770 Brentford are mediocre.
Like Teams such a Leicester "were", or Fulham, Palace, Wolves, even Brighton are now, hard to beat, but certainly beatable.
23/24 - 11th.
22/23 - 9th.
21/22 - 13th.
2122 - Not even in the PL.
That makes them mediocre.
As I have said, Frank has preformed wonders with that Team and has found the tactics and formations that work with what he has and he is certainly more than just the face to those with knowledge, which is to more than most that follow football, so pass where you get the comment from: "Frank is just the face of it to neutrals", you are doing those that follow the sport, a great injustice.
Brentford in general do brilliantly with what they have, they are not really improving, the Table alone will you that and they are more than holding their own, but they are still mediocre, no matter how you look at it.
I need one of these with Big Sam
As a Chelsea fan I feel Brighton replaced us in the 'big six'
Man Utd fan here - I feel the same way. Brighton are so good.
The big six isn't to do with performance, it's revenues. Those 6 are way way above the other 14 in the money they bring in
@jalex9808😂
You can’t be a proper chelsea fan if you say this
They will only be good for a few years, never win anything then decline
Who's here after Pochettino got sacked 😢
🐝のチームが一番合理的で凄い
Thomas Frank😍😍😍
Got some real top coaches in this league outside the obviouse ones. Hes brilliant.
Ngl, i wanted a team to support a team in the PL so landed on brentford 2-3 years ago wgen i heard they didnt release a new jersey which would help the fans, since then my decision to stick with em over a small insignificant thing like that has revealed a rapidly rising dark horse.
I know some in this comment section will day hes not underated and already seen as great, but i think we still havent acknowledged how great. Statistically they are only worse than man city at set pieces and produce xG for and against that you would expect of vig 6 teams and did this with a recently promoted club using moneyball tactics. I genuinely believe with Toney returns and 1-2 top tier to world class editions, they see european football very soon, seeing as it seems just qualitative factors expected from players in this price range.
I hope they keep a nice and steady moneyball approach to continually creep up the pl table till they are not just potential upsets but contenders.
One word: wow!
For what its worth, my team Liverpool seemingly has issues at times with teams who go to 3 at the back. Imagine some of the other big teams do as well.Just one little thing...
Thomas Frank will be perfect for the Chelsea project.Hope he replaces poch soon
This guy deserves a bigger team. But a bigger team would possibly destroy him.
I'll use this in my fm save
Coaches Voice won't be topped for coach analysis👍👍
Should've given Frank the control over the dots. Would of been more insightful. Carragher wasn't following him.
Thomas is really frank about his tactics
His comments about announcing the team in advance reminded me of Carlo Ancelotti naming his starting XI during the Friday press conferences
This is very cool.
Now, imagine this coach with a West Ham. Even a Chelsea. Doing wonders with average players and efficient tactics. Sad he gets looks past for jobs. West Ham with him would be a top 6-7 every season. Difficult to beat and always a goal threat.
It's not just him though. It's the whole structure of the club. Look what happened with Potter who were doing wonders with Brighton but completely failed at Chelsea. I wouldn't want Frank going down that same path - I'd much rather he stay at Brentford and perhaps in a couple years time, they could be challenging for Europe.
@@zetro5907same thing with moyes, yes he could have relegated west ham last season but this season he has the players to play his defensive counter attack football
Everton were floating between 4th and 7th for years, then the manager got sacked less than a year in to his step up and was never given another shot. Now Potter is the walking advert for why you don't want to make that jump as a manager. The Prem doesn't allow for managers to take steps up the way other countries do. You can win the FA Cup and finish 6th with a team that isn't your own yet and still get sacked for missing out on CL money.
Frank could take over Chelsea tomorrow and he'd be sacked by the end of March.
Let`s hope none of the big six were watching the "Big Six Slayer" at work.
Shame he will never receive recognition for his job. It’s insanely difficult for smaller clubs to compete with the top 6, and he deserves credit
Chelsea, are you watching? This is what we need…
Nuno did this too with wolves.
Spurs fan, very good coach.
