Brentford (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

No point comparing us and the other two top teams in the league, the footy we play is totally different than them, don't think people are saying throw the whole system but we do need to change it up a bit occasionally as there are a lot of teams playing low block football now to counter how we play.

Now? They've been literally doing that for years. It hasn't stopped us winning.

Knew Erling would redeem himself and what a cool finish.

Couldn't believe the anxiety I felt around me as the game ticked on, it felt like a cup final at one point with everyone screaming and shouting but I enjoyed that to be honest, shows that these games mean everything at the tail end of the season.

A big shout out to the potty mouth woman sat about 4 rows behind me. Brentford ****. Goalie ****. Ref you're a ****. Twat. Shit. Fuck is all you heard for 90mins. Was funny but it sounded horrible.

Roll on Saturday.

It was a frustrating game tbh. Chances after chances spurned. Usually we score those and we go on to 3 or 4. That first goal isn't happening easily at the moment. And everyone seems nervous, like they are thinking twice rather than just doing it. Trying too hard I think.

But the way the boys play, the intensity, the calmness when needed are all happening. Our shots per game is still highest. So I'm not too worried yet, it seems like one click away from where we need to be.

Brentford were awful, hacking, cheating, moaning twats. Lost a lot of respect from me with that shitty performance.
Our passing was terrible at times, too relaxed sometimes, especially walker. But even Bernardo. Just one of those games, again, again.

Cmon blues, don't let lfc get too excited!

Spot on, G. That free kick from Bernardo that rolled quietly and gently for a Brentford throw was symptomatic of the night's performance. And I suspect that Brentford defender, was it Agent Mee, will be having nightmares for the rest of the season over that slip. Mind, it goes on to prove that if you've come to defend, and lap up the whistling wanker's largesse, or wait for a City mistake, then you have to do it for every second of every minute. And few teams can.

I totally agree with sticking to the style of short passes and manipulation of opposition...but what i questioned was why buy Haaland...putely profit opportunity for me.. no one can tell me he's really a pep player...all political. Get net spend up and fair play. Pretending its a tactical football buy hmmm just that pep's a genius and does the very best from any circumstance

Also, you sign him because you can, and as he's the best at his job, plus you prevent an opponent from signing him. Add that the fee was a third of what you'd pay for a player of similar age and quality and it was a no-brainer.

You buy Haaland because he's the best striker in the world and can pull you out of the shit like last night and v Everton

His goals vs Everton ten days ago and last night might be the difference between us having 7 points from the last three games instead of 3 points

Because from where I was sitting, nobody else looked like they were going to score.

"Not a pep player" - it's such a nonsense statement because any player that scores over 50 goals of season and has scored against every Premier League team they played is any managers kind of player

Totally agree - best bit of business ever (as long as loads of secret pay backs etc are in the original deal) I know there's a cap re trf to trigger a conversation... but from footballing perspective he would be unstoppable in a counter attacking team...imagine if we controlled the ball in front of our box..def would tempt the oppo's to really press. We are that good on the ball we would be able to trigger Haaland more than losing the odd goal through losing possession 20 yds from our goal

Thats not analysing the game at all - interesting fact we scored more as a team the year BEFORE Haaland arrived. Don't get me wrong i love Haaland - especially his attitude. He is an amazing finisher 1 v 1 have we seen a better sight at City, probably since Frannie Lee days ..of a blue running in on goal, it's a thing of beauty - his goal last night was amazing. My only question was ..it's a team game and we don't play the way Haaland PREFERS..i.e. running onto a through ball - we must admit that. KDB was great at adapting. But...
 
For all the frustration with city’s slow build up I have, it is nothing compared to how sick I am at seeing teams camp out with 10 behind the ball and 1 up top to kick it too when we misplace a pass.


The only thing I would like Pep to do is to allow at times during the game the long ball to Haaland so we can win the second ball and then attack.

Camped out football boring bastards!!!!

It’s not city, Rato but the rest of the league including the rags.

I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name, but she was certainly no worse than many of the men. She was able to hold her own, and have a laugh, without sounding like she didn’t know what she was talking about.

Just glad I don’t have to listen to the phalanx of old, tired Red Top retirees waxing lyrical about “back in the day” that infest the UK feeds.

Both of 'em were good, and by good i mean not annoying.
They stuck to football and didn't bang on constantly about other shit.
 
It wasn't the greatest game to watch but then again when we are up against a 10 man defence it's never going to be exciting is it.
When we move the ball quickly they don't have time to regroup as fast and we always look more likely to score, but last night the tempo was a bit slow.
Great finish by Erling and a vital 3 points.. winning whilst not at our fluent best is a good sign.
Hopefully Bournemouth will be a better game with another 3 points please.
 
Some serious fannies on here ffs...

By the sounds of things alot on here live at home with mammy and daddy and need the dinner handed to them or they'll throw their toys out of the pram.

We didn't put four or five past Brentford so decide to carry on like spoiled brats. Same in the ground last night people around me calling players all sorts.

Pathetic cunts.
