Going to be a difficult game, and fear we'll see the same issues with our midfield getting completely overrun. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet, but hopefully we can outscore them. Team pretty much picks itself I think.

Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Ake
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Foden
Savinho
Haaland

Will be brought back down to earth after the Salford hammering, will be the same old problems we have faced recently and more people losing their marbles in the match day thread

nope. We gonna be noticeably better. Does not mean we gonna win, but we should be better. We had some more time for training finally and some key players had much needed rest.

KDB, Haaland, Foden, Kovacic, Bernardo, Gvardiol all should look much better fitness wise. Lets see.

When we up our game, what i expect to happen, we wont get overrun. We should keep the ball much better and stay more compact in the midfield.
 
Don't think brentford are good enough defensively to beat us foden haaland savio kdb turn up we run out comfortable winners. Imo keeping the ball better is the key kovacic Lewis bernardo akanji Gvardiol all have to be better on the ball.
 
I think we'll win as long as our defence, Gvardiol in particular, are not bombing forward and not getting caught out of position on the counter attack.

So you don't think we will win then?

My only hope is that Brentford have a bad day in front of goals.
Can't understand how we haven't learnt anything as the season has worn on about teams breaking through our defence.
We nearly got away with it against the rags when Fernandes missed a sitter and Chris Woods won't have a better goal chance all season than the one he missed against us.
I don't know what team Pep is going to play but we definitely need players that can run at pace and for 90 minutes.
If Gvardiol is on his game and doesn't mind "hoofing" the ball every now and again, we'll have a better chance.
 
Brentford will be expecting 3 points tonight to continue their realistic ambitions on Champions League football. Pep has his mind on other things that we can't talk about as the Guardian, Daily Mail and Private Eye get their City news from BM.....

All depends on our starting 11. They'll be all over us from kick off and if any of the following start then they'll have the legs on us - Ederson, Gundogan, KdB, Foden, Gvardiol, Lewis, Savinho, Akanji, Ake, Doku, Kovacic or Grealish.

I'd take 1-1 now and hope to go far in the FA Cup....

We should be nicely rested, the majority of them anyway
 
Yeah, can't see a win here unfortunately, hoping we manage a draw. Bees rested loads of players in the FA Cup and will want to get a good result following their loss to a lower league club. Even without that would be a tough call to go there and beat them the way we've been defending.

I don’t think even Brentford’s most ardent fans have realistic ambitions of CL football

You’re in fine form again this week :). Perhaps lacking the subtlety of a true Clarkie.
