Match Thread | Brentford vs. Manchester City (05/10/25)

[red 2 hats]

Apart from one under hit pass Nunes has been brilliant

 

[Ric]

Very comfortable so far, but can't imagine Brentford will be that bad again in the second half. Really need a second goal, otherwise this could come back to bite us on the arse.

 

[CΛL]

Think everyone is playing well bar Savinho, Fodens shooting is off but his ability in the pockets is as always very important, Nunes with a brain fart or two and a big shame we’re not a few up.

Big second half

 

[Blu1]

Good half should be 3 up.
Only disappointment is stopped looking for Haaland & savio is shocking. He needs to come off.

Bob, reijnders & Nunes doing very well on the right

 

[half & half derby scarf]

You can see why Neville was a failure as a manager. You'd get more insight from a Guinea pig.

 

[borassic]

Played very well but we are wasteful. Let’s get the ball over and behind earlier ! It works!

 

[Mentis]

Except for Haaland just don’t know where the goals are coming from.

Our second-top goal scorer isn't even in the squad today. Don't know why Pep dropped Own Goal from the bench

 

[doobyedoobye]

Very balanced performance and an excellent goal

 

[pbueno16]

Curious if Savinho would be more effective on the right but I don’t think Bobb should have to make way to experiment

 

[Blue Tooth]

Dominant 45. Could be more goals is my only gripe.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Nice football but lack of cutting edge. Thank god for Haaland because without him we are struggling to convert good chances.

Bobb doing well. Savinho needs to get in the game more.

Big concern over Rodri though.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Others need to contribute to the goal tally as well. This is almost the same half as against Brighton

 

[heslops barnet]

Really failed to make use of Haaland after his goal. He's been totally ignored since then.

Not a lot of space for him to be fair

 

[nu774ll]

We’ve played brilliant football there. Just need some more in the final third. Doku will make a huge difference on the left rather than Savinho. Then cherki for Bobb on the 60 min mark

 

[rodrizontal]

Obviously the injury to Rodri sucks but I look forward to Nico G getting more game time in the 6. I think he is very capable but needs a run of games to really show his level.

 

[Paul1970]

Be interesting to see how Savinho does if he comes on.

I agree he might change the game if he gets on

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

I watched palace v Everton earlier this game has got that feel about it, we should be easily 2 up by now, hope it doesn't come back to bite us on the arse

 

[CityDE]

Doesn't get more solid than this. Should be 2:0 up though. Haaland!!

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Need a couple more goals, don’t want them pulling one back and revert to last season mentality of nonmonsters

 

[pbueno16]

One of my favourite new things is that opposition fans have all read and believed the bullshit about Donnarumma being shit with his feet, so they do a "wooooooaaaah" every time he gets it, and then he just casually plays it past their players.

It’s good banter tbf
