Bang on , no fucking wonder Dortmund didn’t put up a fight to keep him , you can’t play centre half in the premier league if you don’t want to mix it

So hallamd was shit today its no service, akanji getting pelters but no protection from midfield, seems akanji is now the new whipping boy, Mahrez will be happy

The only way most teams in this league beat us is to put 9 men in front of their box and hit us on the break. Most times it doesn't work but today it did. Shit happens.

They should have been two up in the first ten minutes, we shit ourselves today , couldn’t handle Tony and it spread right through the team .

I thought Pogba played well!

You have just answered it, we didn't do either and lost, so it's on the managers and the players

Answered what? We didn’t play to the standard we know we can play, but I thought Brentford were bang average, they got lucky and weren’t the better team.

 

[brazilians hurt]

Manager & some players were poor today, others were beyond poor……
Worst thing is it’s a long time before they can put it right

You can not blame the referee for our shite defending.

I didnt

They created far more goal scoring chances than us, set up to play us and played to the plan, how did they get lucky? You don't win games by having more possession but creating fuck all, they did deserve to win the game and they did win the game

Nothing to do with VAR or refs....

If you cant be sure you cant give it....and you couldnt tell where the handball was over/on the line or not fromthe angles
none of the supposed fouls were penalties
Cancellos dive was a disrgace
Brentford deserved that and we were awful - especially the performances of Stoens and Cancello

I agree. Our players diving is not a good look. I hate it when it another team doing it, and I hate when we do it.

Having no protection doesn’t mean hiding or not getting physical with the opposition , don’t think we won a single header in the first half , the whole back four shit themselves, in fact they didn’t even bother challenging in the second half , Brentford’s forward line had the freedom of the pitch , they should be embarrassed.

Not that it mattered on how we played today as never looked like scoring, but Laporte was down for 7 minutes, we had the linesman have to change his equipment so thats about 8.5 minutes in total plus blatant time wasting throughout and only 10 minutes added on, so take the 2 incidents away, less than 2 minutes added on where the usual is 4 to 5
