Pre Match Pre Match - Brentford (A) - Sat 15:00

[rubans]

Oh Cody, but I will say Salah put that far closer to the goalie than it needed to be.

Probably but he had time, could have taken a touch I thought There Gakker

 

[Fabio]

diaz has caught curtis jones disease

Diaz always had curtis jones disease

He usually wriggled his way through to shoot though

 

[Fabio]

Did diaz try and block that effort from szob? Or interecept it like it was a pass?

And failed?

 

[got red on me]

Gravey’s ability to turn and fuck off with the ball is just ludicrous.

 

[Fabio]

Oh diaz ffs mate. Thats a shite effort

 

[The Nomad]

Diaz this time with a tame effort. It's like watching my sons u9 team from this morning.

 

[Shadey]

Test the keeper at least.

it looked like some quality defending lol

 

[Fabio]

we really need to take advantage here

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

We desperately need a fucking striker.

 

[Farkmaster]

Good play, should be one up, need to just keep going.

 

[Fabio]

szob booked

 

[The Nomad]

Dom with a yellow for stopping the attack.

 

[Fabio]

I just want a decent corner

I don't think it's too much to ask for paid professionals

 

[Fabio]

10 fucking corners at least

arsenal would have scored 3

 

[Holle]

We always seem to wait until all of Brentford's players have arrived in their box and then we roll it straight into the keeper's arms.

 

[Fabio]

Diaz needs to be off the pitch

 

[Fabio]

Szob gets fucking beaned in the face from a macca shot

 

[Fabio]

half time

 

[Fabio]

Midfield improved as the game went on

Forwards look confused

We should be winning

Take diaz off

Swap him for Nunez at least he’d hit the post.

 

[Frogfish]

How the hell are we not 2 up. Crazy.

 

[ibromurph]

Why don't we look like scoring from corners?

Also, Mbeumo vs Tsimi worries me.

Their FB is sprinting to overlap and create space for him.

TAA needs to do the same for Salah.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Strong first half just couldn’t convert. What was it. 15/16 chances?

Brentford a threat but hopefully they tire.

 

[The Nomad]

Ordinarily I'd be happy with how we've approached today's game.

Big big 2nd half needed. Come on redmen.

 

[ibromurph]

Gakpo has had 2 massive chances (today and United) in recent weeks in similar positions and chose the wrong technique/finish on both occasions trying to finish.

You'd think being right-footed playing on the left, you'd master all types of finishes in that same position.

 

[Whaddapie]

What to say that Fabio hasn't said 1,000 times..? If we had a real CF on the pitch, we'd be out of sight.

Grav's been quietly superb again, but Macca's been largely invisible for me. Szobo's really grown into it in the last 20 minutes, but Mo's been Mo and I just have no idea what exactly Trent is doing out there.

How we weren't 0-1 down after 5 minutes again, I'll never know, but I'll take the gift... Overall, we're the better team, we just have the cutting edge of a wet sponge.

 

[Squiggles]

The chances for our forwards are only going to come from the wider areas, so we may as well stick on Nunez and hope he can donkey it into the net.

 

[Markeh]

i don’t want to watch nunez play football, regardless of how shit diaz or anyone else is

Diaz lost the ball once in a bad position.

Besides that, he's dropped in and linked up play fine.

The issue is, when he does, or pulls out wide, there is no one in the box, or running beyond.

Jones did that against Leverkusen. Szobo did it against Spurs. No one has done that today.
