Cristian Romero ensured that Thomas Frank could leave Tyneside celebrating the sort of draw that managers can easily construe as moral victories. The Tottenham captain's stoppage-time equaliser, his second goal of the scrappiest of nights, not merely camouflaged plenty of visiting flaws but surely reinforced his manager's recently fragile looking job security. As Brentford's manager Frank prided himself on achieving a decent work life balance.

Manager Thomas Frank, who has enjoyed an excellent start to life in North London, is eager to add further attacking depth as Spurs continue to push near the top of the Premier League table. Bowen, one of West Ham's most consistent and influential players in recent years, has emerged as a prime target to strengthen Tottenham's frontline as Frank looks to elevate his side into genuine title contention.

Frank is more of a pragmatist, more willing to be direct, play on the break and wait for opportunities to unveil an array of clinical set-piece routines, whereas Maresca veers towards dogmatism. The Italian comes from the Pep Guardiola school; he prizes dominance of the ball. Chelsea's average of 59.7% possession this season is bettered only by Liverpool in the Premier League.

Dominic Solanke is yet to get up and running this season due to a persistent ankle injury. The Tottenham Hotspur striker has been hampered by the issue since pre-season and has made just three appearances in all competitions, all from the bench. Solanke last featured in Spurs' 2-0 win at Manchester City on August 23 and has missed his club's past five matches going into Saturday's Premier League visit of Wolves.

It's clear that when you're not on a list, it definitely hurts, but I'm someone who stays pretty positive, no matter the situation, because I think I've worked a lot on the mental aspect, so today it's definitely a disappointment, I would have liked to be there. But the coach's choice is the coach's choice, we can only respect it and we're going to work to come back in the best possible way.

There would be potential for Bissouma to be moved on before the Saudi Arabia and Turkey [transfer] windows close, that is expected, Pete O'Rourke told Football Insider. He's out of favour under Thomas Frank and was dropped from their UEFA Super Cup squad, due to being late for various meetings and training. He hasn't made the best of impressions on Thomas Frank, and he'll probably find it hard to get into that Tottenham midfield.

Sometimes it's the paths we don't take. This very thought was beginning to fester in the mind of a young Thomas Frank. In his early 30s and a father of two, Frank was completing a master's degree in psychology while working as an instructor for the Danish FA. All while holding down a part-time job as youth coordinator of Hvidovre, a second-tier side in the suburbs of Copenhagen.
