That first half was nice. Got to sort out the 2nd half stuff but that first half had some moments like an actual counter attacking goal!

Pep is going to lace a ref before the end of the season

He is but the foul by Bernardo and that one by Foden in particular are only giving them ammunition.
Needless

That second half looked like we were playing with just five or six men.

Great first half but worrying usual 2nd half shocking performance where we are second best, fortunate to not concede and look like we have not played football before. Ended up with less shots than them.
Wont get away with these non turning up in seconds half much longer

Brilliant first half.

Second half we have no composure, players are not taking their time and panicking with the ball. Dribbling from deep or dribbling in-front of their team mates and then stranded with nowhere to go.

New players have not learned pep’s system and it shows. Time will only fix the issues.

You could see how stable we played from back to front in the first half and second we did all of the above.

Calm down on the ball, stay close to player who is possession of the ball and try to keep it simple. Stop dribbling into trouble. So many gaps.

Time.

That'll do! :)

Pressure’s on, but we can’t sustain it if the second halves continue as they have been.

Just lol at the live match threads.

A great win against a good team.

 

[Metal Biker]

1st half, great.

2nd half...the match thread spats were more entertaining.

 

[Don Karleone]

Whilst obviously nowhere near as good as the first half the second half wasnt anywhere near as bad as some of our recent ones.
If you'd given me a 3-0 win, minutes for most of our big players who need them, rest for other important players, Phil looking better and a fist half that was as good as any in a long time I'd have said thank you very much.
It's a great win after a big game Sunday and we look like we are in the mood.
Going to be interesting.

Put it better than I did. Completely agree. It feels like something has changed.

I was hoping for 15mins added time as it was kicking off quite nicely in the Matchday Thread.

Job done. 1st half, great. Second half, meh. But, at this stage of the season, it's all about results.

 

[Millo]

The second half was crap again, it was like watching an England friendly when all the team is changed at half time.
I don't understand why we didn't push on and try and improve our goal difference.

 

[Coatigan]

Great result, but man that draw at Spurs is even more frustrating now.

I did ask for boring.

Outstanding first half and resilient defensive performance in the second.

Hugely impressive performance coming on the back of the game at the weekend.

I do think Pep needs to look at how we can still offer a goal threat in the second half though.

 

[manimanc]

Another 3pts on the board.

But these refs fuck me, this bellend told a fulham player he'd done 4 fouls, next one you're in the book then Nico makes his first tackle and a yellow. It absolutely baffles me.

Anyway fuck em.

Over to you Brentford.

Great 3 points take that all day, second half subs only Khush and NG seemed to give a fuck, 2 went hiding.
