Match Thread | Brentford vs. Manchester City (05/10/25)

[Tricky_Trev]

We’re desperately clinging onto 1-0 against a Brentford team that hasn’t actually done anything. A genuine title-challenging City team would have been 3-0 up at half time and then coasted the 2nd half, still adding 2 more goals. We are such a bang average team it’s actually quite shocking.

Go on pep

Doku hasn't kept the ball once since he came on...yikes

Pep's right there. They're taking the piss with the throws.

 

[VOOMER]

What the fuck is wrong with this team. Every game is the same

No right back, no left back(Nico may develop).
sort those out and we will look a whole better.

Oh look. Brentford throw

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

They've come out and treated the second half like a cup tie.

I think they’ve brought subs on the nullify our game, which they’ve done successfully. Bigger issue for me is that pep didn’t bother reacting… or didn’t know how to..or feels he doesn’t have the players to do it

Tbf - despite what Sky are trying to portray, Brentford, apart from the 1 on 1, haven’t really created any clear cut chances.

 

[levets]

Another foul throw

The games over what is the ref doing

I think you're right about the players.

If we’ve come to complaining about this - worrying.

 

[Ajm1985]

Officials have been giving us fuck all

Not really. They're a direct athletic team and had a week off. The issue is how do we play with more control without Rodri on the pitch?

 

[lee one pen]

Few

 

[mattyads]

And breath…

 

[mattcity5]

How come Brentford can use towels on throws? Saw a team stopped from doing that a few weeks back

 

[Beanhead]

Phew.
