Brentford (H) | Post-Match Thread

Combination of both. But....6 weeks to forget about it now.

At least we won’t have six weeks of the league is over, it’s not fair, City are ruining football blah blah blah

 

[madloaf]

Why?

nearly 30 chances to 8 75% possession to 25% but they deserved the win lol

If Var was doing the job correctly we would have had two pens on top,whether we score from them is a different thing but Brentford do not deserve praise for that kind of win.

They will be delighted and rightly so.

8 shots on target to our 6. The same amount of attacking balls. Stats, i mean. We were shit. You can't polish some turds.

 

[its a Barm]

Easily our worst performance of the season which let's be honest happens, I would like to believe that the world Cup had nothing to do with it and said beforehand there was no chance our players would be influenced by it but I now wonder, 6 weeks before we play again its a long time to wait to get over it.

 

[mat]

Too many players thinking about the WC.

Thoroughly deserved loss.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Definitely a combination of both i think.

There were players shirking challenges today.Self preservation for the World Cup.

The good thing is,World Cup is here now.Get it over with.

I am sure Pep said he was sorting his future out with his wife over the next 5 weeks.

If that is the case.Then one way or another we will be putting the uncertainty side to Bed for good.

Hopefully he decides to stay.

If not we start looking at decent alternatives.

Arteta?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

This City side is a shadow of previous Pep City sides. Nowhere near what we used to be.

 

[remember arthur mann]

A few loose passes, gundy being the biggest culprit. Kev had to be all over the place to keep momentum, some player's couldn't be arsed. Let's not forget Kev clearing off the line.

Well that was fucking appalling.
Appalling performance, effort and tactics.
We got what we deserved today, fuck all!
I actually left soon as the second goal went in, last time I left early was under Pearce.
Thought it was better for my health that I left early.
Still fuming now!
I must have missed the presentation where we give Tony the freedom of the city.
You could see the goal coming a mile off since we give him time and space the whole game.
I don’t wanna say they didn’t care today, but it did look that way and most of them were already on their holidays.
I still cannot think of one good ball we put in today.
As for Kev he couldn’t pass wind today.
SHITE!

Him and Gundogan together is just a disaster waiting to happen, it very rarely works

How many difficult saves did their keeper make? Can’t remember any. We might have had more chances but their’s were more clear cut.

 

[kippaxchris]

One sub needed making today, Gundogan off for Jack & then swap Jack with Phil & we win.

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Arteta?

Or Zidane or Luis Enrique? Could it be one of those three? Can't see us going for Pochettino.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Fuckin horrible cunts

That's as maybe,but unlike us they had a game plan and played to their strengths.
Pep got a schooling.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Absolutely, Merlin, Vinny, Sane, Sterling in his prime, Yaya, Sergio, that team entertained. It's a hard watch at present

 

[BM96]

If that’s a tackle they have a camera focused right along the line of the box.

Funny how they didn’t have it and had to show an angle pmsl.

Exactly, I'm not in the UK atm and they showed an angle of it at half time that makes it so clear its level.

They did deserve it. They had some cracking chances and could easily have scored 4. We were toothless.

Very true :)

 

[Fordyboy46]

Pep on subs: " next season I would like to see seven being used", lol

 

[xgorton]

we now have the world cup ? fuck me, we don't have much to look forward to before Christmas

Liverpool

 

[nellyonthewing]

Not a single decent ball to Haaland the entire game . If he was tying up 3 defenders we should have overloaded somewhere.

 

[TheBlueCat]

the problem is not having Walker at right back because the setup is so strange using 3 centre backs and cancelo

This is our problem I think. Cancelo is a pretty average right back but at least can play there. But we have no left back at all. That is unacceptable. Bought another CB for some reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . So when our defence is a very poor left back (who is really an average right back) Two decent CBs, and a decent CB playing as a rb when he really can’t do it.. we are asking from trouble. It affects our build up and our attack as well as obviously leading to ineffective defending. We can’t go a season expecting to get away with it as we have done.
