[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Been off it for a while now.

We’d be better with Foden out there and Doku on the left wing.

Probably an ideal switch up if we need it.
Shift the focus f attsvk more to the left.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Their keeper has done well but the shots were at a nice height for him..

 

[Haaland94]

Maybe switch with Gvardiol ~

Josko making a lot of good runs on the left and winning his battles. A lot of our attacking play on the left is because of him. I would go back to the Dias & Stones CB partnership, so Stones on for Ake.

Ridiculous stat:

 

[Sky Blue]

We getting nothing tonight.

Another doomer

I'm not convinced that some of these posters are actually Blues to be fair, if they are then they need to give their collective heads a wobble!

To be fair I can be a little guilty of that

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Same old story. All the play and plenty of chances (though to be fair most of our shots have been from distance) and yet we concede to their first and only (?) shot of the half.

Haaland been pretty quiet apart from his fine great chance. KDB too apart from his one great pass. I guess why they both play when fit!

I think we've played pretty well apart from a bit of carelessness at the back at times. Keep it going 2nd half, cut out the sloppiness and we should win this.

Have you ever seen an easier goal than that in the prem this season. If you have, it will have been conceded by us!

“Tough on Brentford”

Fuck off sky it’s been the Alamo on their net

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

One of those games where I'm not quite sure how we're not winning.

We've been utterly dominant. Brentford have offered very little apart from some tactical grappling.

Somebody needs to remind our defenders you can't be offside from a goal kick, three stood ball watching, two appealing.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

The match thread living down to it's usual standard, I see.

Only ever been on a few. What a cess pit.

Folk asking why a keeper is doing his job, despite most of the saves being savable.

Our players being called shit.

Brentford being hated on, because they’re not letting us score.

No way it’s 100% Blues contributing.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

If there’s a record for number of corners in a first half we’ve probably broken it.

....and bolloxed every one !!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

 

[RobinHood]

Don't exaggerate. We've played well. There's always going to be the odd error against teams playing on the break.

And that's exactly what happened.

 

[Chi-town blues]

It looks to me like we have committed to all-out attack and if we concede on the break we’ll just have to score more.

Yes but surprised tbh i was expecting bernie to play near rodri in the middle but he s playing on the flank . all out attack from back to front

You got back safe that’s the main thing - scary experience!

 

[Blueknows]

Ake and Gvardiol at fault for their goal

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Thought it was a positive performance first half, weak goal to concede but we would have been ready to put the kids on now if not for a wonder display from an obscure Dutch goalkeeper.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Too many crap shots, we need to stop giving teams a goal head start. I expect Pep to gee them up and we get at least 2 more goals. Want to see Doku on soon

honestly I don't know why some people watch footy, they seem miserable
