Brentford (H) - Tues 20th Feb, 19:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Eccles Blue]

No , we should rest KDB, he played a lot recently

Seven games and not full games at that and he needs a rest??

 

[Pedestrian]

Ortega?!

Ederson more than anyone got us a point yesterday. Fuck sake....

Rage bait fella. Best ignored. He’s got Gomez on and has dropped the best striker in the world. Must be desperate for attention.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Is it on TV please?

Oh and John Stones had better be in the side because we are better with his reassuring presence. That’s not just my (allegedly biased) opinion. A couple of people I’ve spoken to feel the same. :-)

No it’s not on TV

 

[Eccles Blue]

No it’s not on TV

Thank you. I won’t make the game and was hoping to watch on TV so now I’ll have to wander around the house having a look at the Match Thread now and again fretting!! Such is life. :-)

Wonder why its not 8PM kick off if not on telly ?. Struggle to get to 7:30s with getting home from work and the shite traffic but will be there.

 

[simmo]

Haaland hat trick upcoming.

I think this will be the game we convert our chances. That keeper can’t play as well again as he did at their place.

Long shot I know but I left an Asda carrier bag by my seat at the Chelsea game (Block 302 Row X Seat 56). It had a pair of new black leather gloves my wife brought me from Finland. Did anybody pick it up? Will be at the Brentford game to collect if so.

many thanks

I want a game where are are 3-0 up HT already and then add another quick 2 goals until 60th min and then bring 5 subs.

instead of that Brentford will score first fro their only shot, 0-1 HT, we finally score 68th minute, throw on first sub in 82nd and hopefully score a winner past Flekken the worst shot stopper in the league who is having game of his life again.

Not on TV

 

[Alcatraz]

Kick off time 19:30 (GMT).

Becomes an absolutely must win after that shite performance against Chelsea. Can’t drop points before Liverpool now.

-----------------Ederson
Walker--Stones--Dias--Ake
---------------------Rodri
---------De Bruyne---Foden
Bernardo----Haaland----Doku

Anybody but Doku would be good ….Bobb ?

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

It be a similar plan to Chelseas for Brentford. We better thrash them good.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Dias
Ake

Rodri
Kdb
Foden

Bernardo
Haaland

That would be my preferred team but get the feeling kdb might be rested for nunes/alvarez

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Battered these away. Very confident.

Yay!!!

It's odd how many have Walker in their XIs at this point.

How long will we try to play him into form while giving us nothing from an attacking POV?

Give Lewis a run-out. He can't defend any worse than Walker has and, at the very minimum, will give us far more from an attacking standpoint. It feels like people forgot just how good he was in the UCL group stages.
