Brentford (H) | Post-Match Thread

You’re just in the moment. You judge these things at the end of a season. If we were reviewing the last 2 seasons at the same stage you’d be up in arms. The media was writing us off, bluemoon was writing us off.

Titles aren’t won in November. The real teams shine in the run in when the going gets tough. That’s when you find out how good a team really is. Not 3 months into the season, with injuries (Walker a huge loss), getting used to a new striker etc.

More than happy to pick up early June when we’re champions?

I’d be very happy to say that we’ve improved over the course of the full season if that ultimately proves to be the case. I’d be formulating an opinion based on the available evidence, just as I’m doing now. And I’d still be ‘in the moment’ when doing so.

Nobody is writing the team off, as you imply. My argument is that based on what I’ve seen so far, we’re behind where we should be, slightly below par in terms of performances and a bit below last season when you consider that we’ve added Haaland to the team. I’ve also outlined a couple of concerns as to why we may not be able to assume a significant improvement in our form in the second half of the season.

Are you suggesting that no one should offer or formulate an opinion as to how we are playing until the very end of the season? If someone asks you how we are playing, how certain players are performing or simply what you thought of the match today, do you just tell them to come back in June? Would be a bit odd if you did.
 
Athough most were below even average today I thought LaBERTe was let down by Akanji in particular.

Who is LaBERTe you ask?

Never realised how much he looked like Bert until his hair rose up from atop of those bandages.

My editing skills are shit on a phone used an app hoping to stick the white bit from his top on top of his head, once I finished cutting his head out it wouldn't let me cut out the intended bandage to place on his forehead, sad result to some post match editing to cheer myself up after another sad result earlier but thought I'd share my work.
 
Never mind.. I expect they’re all busy packing their cases for Qatar and have already forgotten about that horror show

We need lightning fast wingers to put the fear of god into teans not plodding midfield play hoping to find a a way through and we also need to find cb pairing and fucking stick with it because every game is guessing game as to who is gonna start touch shit it if pisses players off who are not in the team as atm we look a shadow of title winners and it’s only haalands goals which have covered major cracks up . If Gomez is good enough for our team then we are in trouble and it’s alright everyone saying get jack on to change the game but when he plays he doesn’t change anything . If kdb is off the boil then we struggle simple as that

I didn’t say that. It’s just an observation on the performances lately. Hopefully this break will give Pep some time to think how we can adapt and get the best out of him playing these teams that put 10 players behind the ball. When we did break forward Brentford did an admirable job in cutting out the supply from Kev. Other teams will look at that and try to copy it.
