Brentford (H) - Sat 14th Sept, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

This is going to be a long 2 weeks

Nothing stupid against these dangerous fuckers. Just get the 3 points. A nice boring 2-0 win would do just dandy.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I'm expecting a rock solid defensive performance that denies Brentford a sniff, another Haaland hat trick and a ref who applies the LotG as they are written. I think I'm assured the first two, but they depend on the last one, so the whole afternoon might go belly up! Wonder if we have that well-known, born in Ashton, Arse-hater 'n City lover, Kavanagh running the whistling pantomime?

3 games - international break, then 4 games - international break, then 4 games - international break.

What a joke.

 

[youngbob]

Any game after an international break can be tricky. No messing about.

Ederson
Lewis, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol
De Bruyne, Rodri, Kovacic
Savinho, Haaland, Grealish

Especially against teams that don’t lose many players over it, gives them plenty of time to work on tactics.

All i can say is fuck me if there is even a niggle much less a true injury to ANY of our international players.

I definitely hope there are no niggles or injuries now

We don't need rodders for this one

 

[Eccles Blue]

We need lots and lots of goals to keep ahead of that lot from the wrong end of the East Lancs!!! 2 hat tricks for Erling 1 hat trick for Jack 2 goals for John Stones, 2 for Bernie and 1 for Rico.

*smiles innocently* have to get the goal difference going from the start!!
Need 5 goals in every game … with a win for us each time (by 5 goals)

I can dream. ;-) :-)

I mean, we dreamed of the treble and four in a row, so this seems a totally reasonable next step.

Hopefully we can chuck in a few fake injuries to stop them going.

I was thinking about this right at the end of the game on Saturday Bernie was holding his hamstring.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Can’t wait for this. Fucking international break already, what a pain in the arse.

Hopefully all our lads stay fit. Got to keep our good start going.

We don't but Inter at home 4 days later and then Arsenal at home 4 days after that, probably want to give him at least half an hour.

Arsenal have their CL game a day later away toAtalanta

 

[lazerblue]

An international break after three games when the Euros just ended is insanity.

it's an absolute joke, three games in and it all grinds to an halt for a two bob competition nobody gives gives a shit about and it's gonna happen again next month ffs

I'd still like Rodri to have a bit of game time under his belt before Arsenal.
