Brentford (H) | Post-Match Thread

With the cameras and tech surrounding VAR don’t tell me they can’t tell exactly where the ball hits his arm in relation to a line on the pitch!

The excuses are laughable from them.

Spot on

He is fucking great but fans should also be permitted to criticise him when they see fit.

Absolutely.

Let’s have a bit more detail then other than “all on Pep” that.

Just one of those games where Pep couldn't be arsed to change anything, get the ball to a wide player ping the ball in to the box and hope Erling can get a header in, repeat x 50. Wtf has happened to our style of play, nothing comes through the middle anymore, so infuriating.
Hope Pep hasn't said we played well today, because that simply wasn't good enough

I don’t think stones did anything wrong

apart from playing them all onside for the free kick that led to their 1st goal when he was looking right across the line...he was okay going forward but poor defensively

Spot on

If that’s a tackle they have a camera focused right along the line of the box.

Funny how they didn’t have it and had to show an angle pmsl.

This team atm is nowhere near the level we need to win the title and that should be a worry . 9-/2 arsenal is a massive price

This team has a habit of winning league titles. Arsenal don't. We are and will be in the mix.

 

[Dribble]

fancy having to go to the world cup on the back of that performance. The players won't care but us fans will have to wait a long time before that shit show is put to bed.

We're not going to the WC, 16 of our squad is...

This could have been any game from 16/17 season, Pep struggled with his set up from the very start and he did nothing to change it. Long and high balls were killing us, we just don't have control we used to have and we are just allowing too many shots and chances each game. Every time camera was on Pep he was doing his usual 'play wide, stretch the pitch', but there was no overlapping, no overloading, nothing at all. Haaaland when getting chances is lethal, but when squeezed like today and with barely any movement, makes us playing with a player down. We barely press, we are not even close being efficient closing passing lines and MF positioning looks fucked up. Is it caused by Haaland being up front instead of Jesus and Sterling when in defending phase, Lillo leaving, I have no clue? But Pep has some times to think about it and good luck trying to get it through to the players desiccated after the WC. Really poor attitude and this tactical approach finally caught with us, just another of too many games when we tried to play only one half or coming from behind . The scary thing is that apart from Liverpool, we didn't play any really strong team and it is going to be fun watching us in 2023.

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you lads, thank you City, thank you fans. It wasn’t to be today. I take full responsibility I shouldn’t have gone as I obviously brought them bad luck!! :-(
Wholehearted apologies. Sorry. :-(






Just arrived back at my car sitting in the car park ready to turn on the engine so I’ve not seen any remarks yet. I’ll read later!!

They kind of did give in

That's because of their packed well drilled defence. They did a number on us and as I said could have scored more. For their budget they played the perfect game.

I get that and agree with you. I just don’t think a packed well-drilled defence should be called anti-football.

If a team turns up and does nothing but defend, then fair enough. But Brentford was better than us in both a defensive and attacking sense today.
