Brentford (A) - Post-Match Thread

[grim up north]

Great result, crap performance, diabolical officialdom.

Crap performance ffs

This period is about getting the points. We were largely shit but it doesn't matter 3 points in the bag and a crucial 3 at that. had to capitalise on the others dropping points and did so. That dishearten the chasing pack so much. Beat arsenal and we get a double figures lead over 1 if not both challengers. Magic.

Cannot understand why Pep didn't make any subs though especially when there were many that could easily have been subbed off. Really bizarre of him.

I think we should all know by now Pep does this to keep players fresh for the next game, especially when there’s a few games within the space of a week.

Great 3 points, not a great performance but it's all about the points.
Chelsea dropping 2 points & Liverpool losing last night makes it all the sweeter

 

[Nascent Blues]

Gaining maximum points when playing well below par is the sign of champions. And even though we weren't great, we still managed to hit the post and had two goals chalked off for being a midge's dick offside.

Onwards and upwards.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

In the circumstances of the results this week our most important 3 points so far.

Yep. The old cliche about champions winning when they play badly is a cliche for a reason. This always had the potential to be a banana skin over Christmas and we've just about side stepped it when teams around us haven't sidestepped theirs.

Very poor performance but job done & a huge 3 points.

What a Xmas for the blurs :-)

I’d call it controlled not very poor. They didn’t have a shot second half. They knew what they were doing

 

[Coatigan]

Pep's either got to start using his subs or stop complaining that we don't get five subs. I genuinely don't mind which but one or the other please. To complain that we don't get five, then often not even use three or even sometimes one feels very... Klopp-ish.

Agree with every single word, apart from the last one.

Don't let Brentfords position fool you, they are much better than it shows and is similar to Brighton last season. They gave Liverpool alot of trouble too.

 

[hilts]

Phew that'll do. Dias laporte ake fern good Foden motm. Good effort from Brentford especially with the injuries. Tough nut to crack.

 

[borassic]

great result!
