Pre Match - Brentford (A) - Sat 17:30

[KopRed]

Just how good was Jota's header though? The cross was great and it might have looked easy but the timing of his jump (from almost a standstill) and the connection was perfect.

Bobby could have executed it. If it had fell to Mane or Salah they would have screwed it up for sure.

It's all the more impressive when you consider his relative stature. Kristian Ajer is 1.98m

What a strange shout. Mane in particular has scored some brilliant headers for us.

Being tall doesn't mean you have to be good at heading the ball.
Being small doesn't mean you have to be bad at heading the ball.

That is true, but the fact that almost all centre backs are humongous man mountains suggests that it is a factor.

 

[Frogfish]

It was an awkward one because he was running towards goal and didn't know what was behind him, but he could have done better trah.

As for those stats above, that's all well and good, but there's the eye test. Van Dijk was shit.

The eye test? You mean like how everyone sees a game differently? That eye test ? 😉

 

[Brizzle]

Still can't get my head around Fabinho not clearing the ball away for their first goal (I think)

Agreed, he just wasn't quite as sharp as you should be in that situation.

Doesn't matter if he wouldv'e been 5.98m if you're not in the position you should be then you're not going to get there.

All you jinxy bastards hailing VVD and Matip as the best partnership in the league and up there with the best ever. They were rubbish along with many others,

 

[Dreambeliever]

Oh and we clearly played shit because I didn’t start the pre match thread only for it to be then merged with Brizzle!
