Brentford (A) | Post Match Thread

A few weeks ago it was all about how we had to win 8/9/10 games to win a treble, get past the mighty Bayern and Real, overcome the gap to Arsenal, it was very unlikely all the pundits said.

Well now it's 2, and our first team has had more rest and preparation time in the last 2 weeks than the 20 weeks before it.

Thank god the Premier League season is over, it has been a long season with the midwinter world cup,
But after the world cup Manchester City showed why we win titles and with 3 games in hand to boot,
Pure class right across the board. We earned the right to be resting players and coasting the last 3 games with
the 2 biggest games in Manchester City history to come,

I am in the old-school camp that hates losing any game when the first team pull on the shirt and wears the badge.
but we have to look at the bigger picture and they are meaningless games that anything could happen to the key players,

Look you don't want your best players carrying knocks or blowing after 30 minutes at Wembley or in the champions league final, That Wembley pitch will find you out if you running on empty, The City players will keep the ball and run the united players ragged because they have had to play most of the first team to get top 4,

The funny thing that dawns on you is that in the space of a week and being crowd Champions of England again, fans me included are never happy when city lose

City could have won 5-0 today it would have made sod all difference come next Saturday.

Most of us could have told you after 10 minutes we weren’t going to win 5 -0 today.

If we played our strongest team and say Rodri, KDB, Erling or any of the starting 11 got injured there would be uproar about playing our strongest team and risking players for a meaningless game, now we can concentrate on Saturday with our strongest team that are now fully rested, also the players who have not played too much over the season have now got good game time, which we may or may not need.

If he’s anywhere near the two finals we are in trouble.

Reverse psychology. Mahrez has previous. He's been there and done it before. I'd back him over Phil Foden to start in both finals, particularly knowing that we can use 5 subs.

 

[eastmanc]

If we had needed to we would have won today and got at least a draw at Brighton. Pep knows what he is doing. All about the finals.

I said the same.

 

[burning blue soul]

Arsed!

Bring on the tin pot games. We will blow all comers away!!

 

[Claytop]

Thought Dias not being involved over the last week was strange.

FFS, that isn’t good news. Never mind today’s result.

That is worrying.

Should have posted the next tweet…

 

[fanatic1]

So Brentford have had the temerity to complete a league double over us this season, despite being a much inferior side. We shall remember this and administer a sound thrashing home and away next season

 

[eastmanc]

Is that who it was. He was fucking depressing me.

He really sounded clueless didn't he?
