Brentford (A) - Post-Match Thread

this Fixture at this time of the year historically is always a tough match regardless of opposition. Strange ground with a giant tv sat on the roof, inhabited by stranger fans, next season the backward fuckers will be down the bottom
 
I don’t get this type of view. No one last night was poor. Everyone gave their all and we made the game relatively easy. Football is not all about loads of skill and lots of pretty patterns. There is a lot of effort and application that goes into a game like last night and if 6/7 players were poor then we aren’t winning that game with the ease that we did.
Two real attempts I think you can say they had last night. Do you know how hard it is to limit teams to those sort of stats.

It’s the busiest time of the year. We’ve had injuries too but no one seems interested in that. Most of squad were at the euros and went deep into it as well. We are defending champions and at the moment playing the best football possibly in Europe and won a difficult champions league group early. I’m not digging you out by the way I’m just frustrated that last night is perceived as a poor performance or we were below par when the reality is different.
Good post, controlled the game and their best chance was by Dias.

I think Pep was taking the piss out of Herr Klopp with the non substitutions too.

Fuck you soft lad, my Boys can play a full match without bleating!
 
Ake, Foden, etc etc...Agreed.

Not really here to talk about the game - credit to Pep for a tactically well executed three points. I am here to talk about a more important issue; toilets.

We all know that there are never enough at any away ground, but last night, in addition to the regular cubicles full of those having a fag/emptying a bag up their nose, it made me proud to be a Blue to see a whole load of lads at the end of the game decide that they didn't want to queue for the three urinals and instead pissed in the sink. Lovely.

I know facilities are always appalling, and I know you've all been on the lash since getting on the coach at 2pm...but I think some better urination management is in order...
 
Give and take.

The game has gone far too soft.

Fern is a warrior and gives plenty out, sometimes you have to take it back and quite rightly so.
And, I repeat, I have no problem with the “give and take” on the field (and have the lost teeth and scars to prove it!), but there were orders of magnitude of difference between the two.
 
How big was that tv screen at the ground?

Take note fuckin Rags & Dippers.

Why the fuck have they not been ordered to fit screens, even if it means ripping out seats to accommodate them?

How does VAR work at ot for the fans with that shitty little 1970's scoreboard.

Surprised they don't have a bloke walking round the pitch with a sandwich board saying

"VAR says, penalty for United"

I noticed that too. It was on the roof though, so surely United and Liverpool could have one attached to the bottom of one of their stands.

Fuckin hate that, dirty cunts.

Some people actually like to wash their hands afterwards.
 
Hello All

Enjoyed the game last night.

Starting with City first.
Impressed with Foden and Ake always made himself available.
Not sure about your CBs and I don't think Grealish looked comfortable playing wide left.
The thing that struck me was you seemed to a back four, but has soon as you had the ball you incredibly quickly seem to have FBs into WBs attacking and Fernandinho filling into cover. I also think Jesus was just played wide right to get him the team to give him minutes.
Not arguing with the result and we take it on the chin.
Now for Brentford.
We are not a team that will ever park the bus, if you look at our goals scored for the past few seasons and even this season.
The problem we had was are crippled with injuries and CV19. Missing was
Best midfielders Norgaard and Janelt and long term injury Josh De Silva
Our only decent LB Rico Henry.
Record signing Ajer at CB
Toneys strike partner Mbweumo.
Plus 3 or 4 players who would give us options of the bench.
As a result we 3 defenders playing with 12 games between them and quite young. A makeshift midfield and strike force. Also Toney has to play every minute of every game and looked knackered.
If we had gone completely open and lost the ball in transition, you would have probably have scored 4 or more. Also the manager was wary of destroying young players confidence.
With our first 11 we scored 3 V Liverpool and should have beat Chelsea but lost 1 0.
We do have the lowest budget and the smallest stadium etc, but the club is well run and we are all committed to keep trying to progress BFC. We do things the right way, but BREXIT has hurt our operating model as we don't have such opportunities of buying cheap and selling high and reinvesting etc etc.

I met a couple of City fans who came on a coach and were drinking in the New Inn - one was on crutches and the other one was deaf. And they supported City for donkeys years - poor blokes Good lads.
I hope those who went enjoyed their visit. The new stadium is very very close to the Thames for a few drinks. If you go again simply Google Strand on the Green and you will find numerous pubs.

Good luck for the rest of the season apart from when we play you in February.

Is it usual for City to not make substitutions?

Also relieved not to hear
"You lucky bastards it should have been 10"

Anyway please do us a favour and destroy Burnley, Newcastle, Norwich and Watford.
