Brentford (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Doesn't matter when they where he makes the correct decisions that game isn't in doubt

Football isn't like that though, he scores the first and it sparks Brentford earlier.

Getting the 2nd with twelve to go then switching off cost us that game

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

The already insufferable McAtee fanclub (already pretty much as bad as the Palmer one) got what they were constantly wailing for with Pep bringing him on to supposedly "control the game"

He then proceeded to miss a sitter just before Brentford equalise.

Get this rag banned

 

[Blue2202]

He makes the correct decisions game is out of sight

And if our back 4 don’t defend like u9’s we don’t concede and win 2-0?

 

[Bluearmy]

Silvinho was ok but needs to pass more as a couple of efforts he had should have been laid on a plate for others

Yeah he has promise but some of his decisions making around when to shoot/pass is very poor. Lets hope he improves significantly, he needs too

 

[Fordyboy46]

Not in any point in that match did we look comfortable, even at 2-0 up and that's been happening in every game this past few months, we show no composure at all, it's sheer panic all the time. I swear when we next play a clinical side we're going to get a right hammering

 

[Longballutd]

Foden got his goals tonight but that shouldn’t mask what was otherwise a piss poor performance. Lack of effort off the ball this season from himself and Silva is verging on the unbelievable. Standards have dropped alarmingly.

I can’t defend players like Akanji, Walker, Lewis, Gvardiol for all the fuck ups at the back but they are getting absolutely no help from our midfield.

We have lost any sort of a press in midfield, when we lose possession we just seem to accept it.

 

[kismet]

The amount of duels and headers he looses is staggering with his height and frame.

thank goodness you see it too ken

 

[herrock]

I bow down to Peps superior football knowledge, but we could all see that we were blowing out of our arses on the hour. We did get a goal around that time, which covered up our problems. Kovacic was left exposed time and again and needed someone to help him out and just sit.
Anyway on a plus side, thought we looked more like it tonight and Nunes played well at full back although why didn't he shoot?

 

[eyalluvitt]

I thought it was a fair result.

But having taken an undeserved 2-0 lead, i was surprised we gave up that lead, again!

We looked good at times and we'll get better, but we need to get some old faces back in the side and buy some new faces, especially in midfield.

Two and a half months and we’ve not got any better unless we are playing absolute dross

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Jealous? Of those cunts?

Yes this season. With their ability to play and score and defend. I hate them though.

I am getting a Forest scarf methinks! Well done them.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Not a meltdown mate.

Going 2 up with 12 to go and not winning is criminal.
We had far better options on the bench than those used.

Would have been better not making any subs compared to those that were made.

Fucking madness and threw 2 points away. A huge dent to the fragile confidence that was being restored.

Yes sadly Pep fuked up big time with the subs again

 

[Goldust]

We didn't draw because of Gundogan.

We just didn't cut out the cross and we're missing Dias at the back.

Exactly and people say it he’s a 20 year old winger so bloody what.

 

[colbee59]

We had a two goal lead with 10 mins to play, attacking players had done their job despite several wasted chances.

Defence couldn’t do their job and close the game out, wouldn’t rely on them being able to close a fucking door at present.

It's an 11 man game, they all need to close the game

 

[M Gaudino]

Get this rag banned

every young manc in the academy has a fanclub. they cant see an average player staring them in the face unfortunately. mcatee is 22 and i dont even know what position he plays.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Feels a bit like a loss but we're no worse off than before the game. Onwards & upwards. The unbeaten run continues.

 

[B\connellblue]

What?

One point was 2 less than we needed. Draws are no good to us.

 

[Blue Bogey]

5 games unbeaten that’s the positive to take away. Let’s hope we can keep this unbeaten run going and slowly but surely we can rescue this season. New signings to come in, Dias and Bobb nearly back.

 

[ShedDweller]

Last 4 PL games unbeaten... same as the Dippers...

Lets stay positive, there was a lot of good stuff tonight and reinforcements are coming.

 

[rumone]

Why did pep not see that gvardiol was on is own against 2 all the second half!didn't seem to get any help ! Was Silva playing tonight?

 

[uwerosler28]

And if our back 4 don’t defend like u9’s we don’t concede and win 2-0?

Defense doesn't matter if he actually passes and puts the game out of sight, he believed his own hype tonight
