Brentford (A) - Mon 5th Feb, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

I'm sure most of the players will have been watching the game yesterday, as we were, and will be buzzing with the fact we can now go top if we win our games in hand. Tonight is about getting the job done however we need to. Brentford are good from set pieces and counter attacks, but if we dominate the ball and impose our game we can get the job done. Would be nice to keep a clean sheet and knock a few past them.

3-0 City with Haaland getting a couple on his first start in a while.

Toney scoring from first Brentford on target shot, wonder if he bets on it hehe

He was interviewed this morning and said he can't wait to play in the 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Surely it’s less of a “must win” now than it was 2 hrs ago?! ;-)

That said, no dropping points anymore and it all ours!!

No, it's even more of a must win now.

Think it's that Aussie guy who seems ok.

I remember saying that about Hooper before spurs at home

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Clubs like Brentford worry me.

Clubs like Brentford worry me.

I know what you mean.

We didn't show up at ours last season and played below ourselves thinking about the two cup finals at theirs.

I think we'll squeak one of those wins where the match day thread usually suspects are handing the title to the dippers because we "playing shite."


I'm also offering to comfort Natalie Sawyer after the match should she require it.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

We’ll smash them by at least 3/4 goals.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Don't have a good feeling about this one, they seem to be bogie team for us. Apart from doing the double over us last season I remember a miserable cup defeat in 1989 at their place. Hope I'm wrong I often am.

Especially early on in the season, this is the type of game where we’d usually slip up. Hopefully we’re not wasteful and they don’t score from their first attack.
