Brentford (H) | Post-Match Thread

Absolutely, Merlin, Vinny, Sane, Sterling in his prime, Yaya, Sergio, that team entertained. It's a hard watch at present

Instead of Merlin controlling the tempo, we’re asking John Stones to do it at times.

I don't understand why Dias doesn't start as he's the best defender. Anyways...well played Brentford.

Not so far this season. Ake has been more consistent than him. But, unfortunately, he wasn't available today.

One sub needed making today, Gundogan off for Jack & then swap Jack with Phil & we win.

Something needed changing. You could see they had another goal in them.

If we are all being honest Haaland has made us look much better than we have been. I actually think we have been very poor in so many games. You would like to think we can only improve after the WC. We lack pace going forward now so if a team is very well organised we will really struggle to break them down especially when Kev is off it. Fullback is a huge issue as well that has to be addressed at some point.

Exactly, appalling stuff

That's as maybe,but unlike us they had a game plan and played to their strengths.
Pep got a schooling.

On train home after that disappointment of a performance.

Worst display in many a long time. Fair play to Brentford for getting their game plan to work.

As you say, Pep got schooled today, did nothing to affect the game, especially as the 2nd half wore on.

Dreadful on and off the pitch, got what we deserved.. ie nowt..

The most annoying part is we will never know.

That is what grates,we played shit for over 90 minutes, lose the game,with game changing players still sat on the Bench at the final Whistle

You lose the game after using all your options.You say fair enough we lost the game.

I feel sort of cheated,i bet others do also.

We have the best Bench in World Football yet never really use it unless a game looks won.

Yep they had another goal in them & what sub did we get? One that involved Foden playing left back.

Cancelo, Akanji and de bruyne were all awful today.
Haaland didn't look fit and had no service.

Don't think we won a header all day.

I was happy with a point at half time. Writing was on the wall.
