Brentford (A) - Sun 28th May, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

After seeing the lineup- my predicticion is 6-4.

To City, of course. Ha.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Talking to 2 polite old Brentford fans in the pub (yes even older than me) and still had to correct them - apparently they sit near the benches and said we always have £500m of players on the bench, I showed them the net spend table for the last 5 years and they were amazed to see us IN TENTH PLACE. Another myth busted. They then asked me why Jack grealish is always diving; walked away at that point

These are the biggest long ball team in the Prem so needs a few at the back winning their aerial duels.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Great to see Ale back fit

 

[M Gaudino]

it is not a bit worrying that Akanji, Grealish, Dias not really seen for 3 games?

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all. Especially them Southern lot who think they can sting us! Especially the biased, disgraceful, disgusting, Specsavers needing media fools, especially that lot of PIGMOL officials who thought they could do us down and didn’t! (So boohoo to them)

Have a good game John Boy, don’t let any of the Bees sting you!

THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

Thought Dias and grealish would have got some game time seeing as they missed the last 2 unless they are injured.
Can't be good to miss 3 games completely before big cup finals.
Sure pep knows better than me though :)

I just hope people in the matchday thread don't have a breakdown if we lose.

Grealish has a liver injury...

No.

They’re not fit, Pep said they each picked up injuries in their last game.

I think some people thought he was being facetious when he said that but I think they are actually injured.

 

[Axel Freed]

Well played Pep, I’d have preferred Rodri to be at home with his feet up but other than that it’s a perfect line up.

Who are Charles, Robertson and Knight ?

Kyle’s legal team ?!!

Still pissed up.

 

[thanatos]

Might be reading too much into this.. but Pep giving Foden more time in the midfield very much makes me think that’s where he will be next year. Almost like this is the trial run. Didn’t a tier 1 say that was Pep’s long term plan with him? I think he’s perfect for that 10 role.

 

[paulchapo]

Grealish, Akanji and Dias must be carrying knocks to be out again. I don't remember them getting injured in their last match?

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

The Haaland 40+ betters will have to try again next year I guess!

 

[PabZabb]

What channel are we all streaming this on?

Fingers crossed they'll be ready for United but if not then Ake, Laporte and Foden are not bad replacements.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Definitely not a bad team but maybe a bit lightweight in midfield.

Brentford Nylons by pass midfield, its dominant defending that's key along with taking our chances.
