Brentford (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Tracking back]

Well, we won, but that was unconvincing, to be polite about it.

It matters not a jot my friend.

At this stage, after dropping points to Chelsea a 1-0 is just the ticket to keep us in with the front runners.

You can bet your bottom dollar Klopp and Arteta would have been watching that tonight and thinking to themselves "shit I wish I could afford to rest my most creative player and still come out on top"

# this isn't MCFC's first rodeo

A midfield of Kovacic, Foden/KDB and Rodri is far more balanced, so why does Pep force the issue with Alvarez? Anyway, 3 points is all we needed, we move

 

[NptonBlue89!]

It would of been lovely to destroy them today and set a marker on the other hand we still aren’t at our best, far from really, and we are a point behind Liverpool hopefully we kick on now again said before I’d like to see kovaicic kDB and Rodri start with foden and silva and haaland up top!

Yes I said before absolutely no cohesion in the team. It needs sorting ASAP. Put Phil in the middle, so wasted out wide.

And ffs when does the mighty Rodri get a rest???

He'll get a 4 match one when sent off by the **** in the middle on Saturday for fuck all. The ban will happen to clash with playing the rags and dippers.

 

[Joe Corrigan's legs]

The kinda game that win titles - dug it out and big big win. 3 horse race and we bang in the middle of it with plenty room for improvement ... bring it on

 

[lonestay]

Ok pal.

I definitely heard someone in the background on the American feed at that time say six mins .

 

[Blue Maverick]

Christ this run in is going to be hard, we almost look nervous, trying to shoehorn Alvarez in with Haaland isn’t working for me. Their keeper having a blinder could’ve been 3 up in the first half, something needs to change we are far too pedestrian, I got berated by saying not playing to Haalands strengths that goal is what he’s good at, why not invite these sort of teams on and exploit the space behind? Without KDB we look out of ideas, if we can beat Bournemouth and Luton without him get him ready for March and play our best 11 from then only changing if someone is injured or needs a rest, we need consistency.

 

[inchy14]

No doubt @PPT will be along shortly to tell me I’m wrong regarding Alvarez

 

[ancoats]

I just knew the game tonight was going to be hard and ugly, But we dug in again and a good 3 points in the end
Sometimes all it needs is a bit of luck, When Haaland took the ball and their defender slipped it was only going to end up in the net, Sometimes that is how it goes and an ugly win takes all the pressure away and we look ahead to the next game and maybe we will be on fire again,

Moaners and Groaners will be picking holes out of the performance and pointing fingers at players, They quickly forget what the manager and players have given us over the last 7 years, We are still in the FA Cup Champions League and 2nd in the table one point behind with 2 trophies already in the bag this season

On my stream at around 88 minutes I’m sure I heard someone in the background say “we’ll give Brentford 6 here”.

I think it was the co-commentator just saying how much they were adding on, I heard it too.

Not sure where 6 minutes came from though.
