Brentford (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Thing is we have had over a decade of tight short passes moving the oppo around. Academy plays same wsy, we buy players with that in mind, manager brought up on it..hard to change culture at a click of the fingers really.
Exactly.

"Pep's changed the way football's played"
"Even Sunday League players are passing it out"
"Pep's reinvented the game"
"We're lucky to have him"
"Best football ever played"


......first sign of difficulty.....


"Hoof it over the top"
"I'm bored"

I'm not exactly a toE the party line poster, but, talk about throwing the baby out....
Hard fought win against a very good organised and spoiling team. Their backs to the wall and bodies on the line approach nullified us but we eventually wore them down. One of those games.
Could easily have been 3 or 4 nil.
Chelsea was more of a concern - but that was mostly selection and availability.

Its hilarious on here its like the press have warped people into believing their lies, we WON the game, yes it wasnt pretty, yes we looked a little bit under par, but we WON, if that was the dippers or the tarquins the press would be saying those are the kinds of games that win you titles because thats exactly what they are, to not lose when you arent playing well is the key.

Except the dippers battered them 4-1, away.......and didn't break a sweat doing it

With 26 shots and 11 on target with their keeper making some top saves again! Over the last few years we have been spoilt and some of the comments about Pep and the players recently is truly shite! They are not robots and the levels of consistency over the last 5 years has been something the premier league has never seen! Shocking
 
It is not only that we don't often counter like that. We are facing massed ranks of deep defenders who are relying on their own counter, or set pieces. We are a victim of our own success in this regard, but Erling remains the highest goalscorer in a league we are very close to the top of. As he continues to regain form, and we play teams that are actually trying to win, this will change. The absence of KDB has also had an impact.
Better get used to having KDB absent, i fear.

but lets just think, what score did we win away and did we break a sweat and did their keeper make more saves in that game than he has ever made in a pl game?
