Far too sensible a post for BM. I think I'll have to ban you for it. We can't have positivity on here.

Guilty mi lord.

Nothing to feel guilty about,he was bobbins first half.

That draw was a disgrace as well, a Martin Atkinson special.

Such a poor set-up in the first half, I know we have to rotate and rest players, and not sure what happened to Kova, but I think by playing Akanji and Stones in the hybrid role really sucked away the creativity. They are great at the role but both together slow us down too much. Subs worked well and moving Phil inside really made a difference. Overall happy with the result against a typically negative Dyche team.

And went top of the league for the first time since November, even if it was brief, it’s a psychological gauntlet thrown down.

I thought we were poor first half against Brentford. But that today was awful first half. Doku only dangerous player. Pep picking Nunes Alvarez and Akanji centrally behind Haaland meant no technical quality or service for Erling.

Second half subs made some difference. Tempo and fluency got better. The big lesson should be one of Phil or KDB must be central in all games. And the Alvarez midfield / 10 experiment needs to be put down permanently. I can’t remember hating a Pep selection as much as the constant shoehorning of him into every fucking team.

Other than that. Splendid win. Braut is beautiful. We’re doing the double treble. :)

Awful first half. Much better when KDB and Walker came on.

Great finish from Haaland for the first goal.

Onwards and upwards!

The officiating and VAR is a fucking disgrace. How this wasn’t a red card is beyond me. It’s hard not to see it as blatant corruption

Fuck, didn’t see this at the match! Looks a red all day, what was said on TV?

Poor starting lineup and set up but well done Pep for making the necessary changes.

2 quality goals from the Viking, great win

 

[lazerblue]

He kicked Eddie in the face. What is VAR for?

surely to fuck we should ask for an explanation from pigmol
