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

[DTKOAG]

We’re just missing a prime KDB or a Spanish Dave in this team this year.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Need to finish this off by 60-65 mins, if it's still 1-0, Brentford will attack more and I don't trust the defense to be able to cope

 

[surrounded by idiots]

That was only, possibly 1 more goal away from being a near perfect 1st half, away from home (Rodri aside of course)

 

[dickie davies]

Doku for Sav to finish this off, early sub please Pep if we continue to dominate but not score

If they swap to four at the back it will be interesting to see if Savinho gets more involved

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Very good 1st half from City, more of the same in the 2nd please except with a couple more goals

 

[Paleblue2]

What was Nunes bought for? Not RB for sure I hope

 

[noseve]

Hamstrings can be anything from a week to three months. Depends how bad it is. I didn’t see it how bad did it look?

Well I hope Rodders has no medical training, because his face seemed to suggest that it might be a long one.

Everything crossed that's not the case

 

[heslops barnet]

We are literally attacking them where are we on cruise control? Goals aint gonna happen like the last seasons where we easily scored 4-5 . We need to stop expecting to destroy each opponent

Don’t expect to destroy teams just put our chances away

 

[mattcity5]

Good half. Reijnders has been excellent. Shame we haven't got a 2nd, as Brentford will no doubt take a few more risks 2nd half. They could get a few chances, but it should be more open for us on the break also. Fuck it, I'm going 3-0 to us.

 

[deano ou812]

I’d change savinho and Bobb for doku and Bernardo

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Any chance he's just cramped up or defo a hammy ?? I missed it

Let's be honest nobody knows until midweek, but not a cramp that early

 

[malg]

Good penalty by the Newcastle lad.

 

[.db.]

Since the Arsenal game he’s looked like an actual left back rather than someone filling in. He’s really good in that role now.

I think he looks like a natural left back n’all. He reads the position so well for someone who’d never played there before January 2025.

 

[Zenmanc]

Need ruthlessness in this side. Erl has it, i see it in Doku and a few others but need more.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

The Rodri injury is heartbreaking as his size, which made him the powerhouse he was is literally now his Achilles, absolutely devastated for him

 

[Bluearmy]

Nico O'Reilly has been solid again. He looks like he's played there for years and it's not even his main position. He's doing brilliantly.

More of a threat than Savinho also

 

[city5189]

Maybe, but it might well have been given if we played in red. And ratboy would have let out a long "oohhh." Just sayin'...

With the obligatory juusst there comment the twat always makes

 

[heslops barnet]

I’d change savinho and Bobb for doku and Bernardo

No Bernie please

 

[Paleblue2]

A clean sheet and I'll be well chuffed.

 

[Petetheblu]

My feelings are they will come out with much more agression. We need a really strong team start and an early break with another goal.
