Thomas Frank might claim otherwise but there seemed to be a serendipitous quality to his Tottenham reprieve. He stood tall, made them and should take credit because they went the right way and, for 45 minutes against Borussia Dortmund, Spurs were as good as they have been all season. The next, at Arsenal, was calamitous and abandoned at half-time, and not revisited until Frank's job was on the line. Porro's strength is his delivery from wide right and as a wing back he should operate further up the pitch. He meets the criteria of the lone centre forward more completely than either Richarlison or Randal Kolo Muani.
