Match Thread | Brentford vs Man City (29/12/21)

Every single player except the two central defenders have taken 6 months at least to settle into the team. Not saying he's playing well right now but seems like people have made their mind up already?

I can only speak for myself, but I’m not saying sell him or he’s a failure as a signing etc, I’m saying he’s ineffective tonight.

Don’t think it was a red. Ref was poor before that but extremely poor to not realise that was retaliation. Defo booking, could have been his second in seconds considering he twatted the ball away which seems to be a card as and when they choose it to be.

Jesus and Jack taking far too many touches. A forward at this level should be able to take it first time on left or right foot, as the opportunities present themselves.
We’re missing the quick ball when we actually do get men on the six yard area.
Look at the difference with Kev’s ball to Phil.
Slowing it down gives them far too much time to maintain shape.

Hope Pep puts a bomb under them at half time.

That’s on purpose because we’re in town

But if they normally play on smooth, short cut fast surfaces at home then it's got to affect them as much as us? It seems to be putting an element of doubt into our defensive passing, hence Dias not passing back to Ederson and losing control.

Jesus shocking. Get mahrez on in his place and quick.

Would rather he came on for Grealish and put Gabby through the middle

Ferna’s is a yellow Toney’s is a red. Toney goes for the knee. Knee vs Toe.

Both are a ****'s trick though

 

[roman totale]

Ah, here we go with the "Grealish only passes backwards" nonsense again. 4th highest key passes in the PL this season.

I’d love to see those stats as a percentage of attempts. That rag rat would drop like a stone.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

When is Grealish going to show up? Seems like a complete waste of money.

2 observations

1 Dihno needs to stop with the tacky old school stuff. Not needed and VAR will eventually get you.

2. Grealish doesn't know how to play with other stars. He is moving too sluggishly. Expecting everyone to work around him. Dude you won't get the ball unless you move in flow with the team. :(
