I think its time the owners went...

Akanji didn't need protection from the midfield, it was by-passed with the long ball.

His job was to win his aerial battles and he lost every one.

And the winner was de bruyne losing out on a challenge which led to a break away no long ball, was that akanji at fault?

Halland job was to score goals and he scored non, so should we all slag him?

He is definitely not immune from slagging! Haaland wanted a camp fire and a sleeping bag the amount of time he was lying down in the penalty area!

Brentford got their tactics spot on and Pep failed to react during the game, despite obvious failings.

I stopped expecting Pep to react mid-game after we lost to a team of reserves at Norwich.

I find it hard to believe that he actually campaigned for five subs.

Brentford mugged us today and we deserved it.

Which **** in the pre match said we should take the piss out of Toney?

I think this is ‘living in the moment’ commentary more than anything else. This is actually our best start to a season since 2018.

You say we’ve gone backwards but we started the last two seasons before this one with worse performances and worse results. It was only around Christmas that we began to find our feet, go top, and start to build a gap.

It’s our best points tally to start a season since 2018, it’s not our best level of performances to start a season since 2018.

We’ve been remarkably average for our standards despite accumulating a decent points tally.

We were only okay at West Ham, poor for a lot of the game at Newcastle, poor first half against Palace, very poor at Villa, just as bad at Wolves despite the different score line compared to the Villa game, poor in the last half hour against United, very poor at Liverpool, poor against Brighton, average at Leicester, very poor today.

We don’t look right to me. Don’t know if it’s mentally or finding our new way of playing difficult to get in a rhythm with or the fucking World Cup… whatever it is, we’re not ‘at it’ at all. Even when we do play well it’s isolated as a performance or even isolated to one half of a game and we don’t follow it up with any consistency.

Our defense also has been suspect recently and Ederson could have done better with their 2 goals

I am going to hibernate for the next month and a bit!

Fucking hell. The one game you cannot possibly call out Ederson as he made a string of decent saves including one on ones, and you think he can save a deflected, looping header that he’d have to have been 12 foot tall to reach and a tap in from a yard.

Enjoy your hibernation.

Our players need to have it out in dressing room when we come back, like we did under Fernandinho.
These kind of performances aren’t good enough and they need telling.
All of them.

He is definitely not immune from slagging! Haaland wanted a camp fire and a sleeping bag the amount of time he was lying down in the penalty area!

He also wants the ball in early and with some pace on it, how many times did that happen today?
