Pre Match - Brentford (H) - Sun 14:00

[ibromurph]

Virgil has been majestic today.

With their aerial bombard and nippy centre forwards, he's had to be.

 

[dee]

Christ he looks like five!

 

[KopRed]

Fine win. Brentford fought for every second.

 

[KopRed]

How do you beat Ali from there.

FT.

 

[SummerOnions]

Couple of poor defensive moments but overall a good performance, 3-0, and we can go top when City lose 3-0 later

 

[dee]

Loverly jubbly

 

[Athens]

Never in doubt.

 

[Hansern]

Great win, 3-0 and 2nd place going in to the International break. Amazing.

Some will probably still find something to moan about though.

Ali 8

Trent 6
Virgil 8 - MOTM
Matip 7.5
Kostas 7

Endo 7
Szobo 6

Salah 7.5
Gakpo 6
Jota 6.5

Nunez 7.5

Not gonna bother with the subs and none of them got more than 10 mins.

Brentford are fucking boring shite.

 

[Shay_K]

Endo the IMPROVED one.

 

[Shay_K]

Was hoping for a hattrick for Mo

 

[Farkmaster]

It was a nice stress-free win. Great stuff.

 

[binomial]

He was hoping for that too with that chance he skied from Trent's delicate ball.

200 goals now for him in English football, congrats to him on that phenomenal milestone.

 

[binomial]

Endo the IMPROVED one.

& Kostas too, few nervy moments first half but by far and away his best game for us this season.

Happy for them both.

 

[dee]

Isn’t Curtis injured too?

Anyway I’ll take over match thread duties after our next slip.

I think @Brizzle begs to differ 🙂

A bit sad Nunez got no reward for an excellent performance (yes I know he got an assist)

@Fabio

cough Uhhh uhmm cough

So about that who cares because we'll mess up....

 

[mom]

3 points. No injuries. End to a dodgy run.
Brilliant

 

[Judge Jules]

Ordinarily Brentford are decent. They fell short of their usual standards today but we've messed such opportunities up before. On we go.

Good stuff. Now we've got a buffer for when we lost to city next week

Yeah me. We should be 5 pts clear - robbed at Spurs and the bloody awful draw at Luton.

 

[Frogfish]

Ali 8

Trent 4 (he was bloody awful all game in defence and even his throw-in went straight to Brentford near the end of his time on the pitch)
Virgil 8 - MotM
Matip 7
Kostas 6 (1st half a 3 and second an 8, then rounded up)
Endo 6
Szobo 6
Salah 7
Gakpo 6
Jota 7
Nunez 7.5

We deserved to win but we didn't deserve a clean sheet, we were just lucky. Play in defence like that against City and we'll concede 3 or 4.

If they play like how they're playing tonight, we aint losing nothing.

 

[Shadey]

Klopp should watch this game back and study citeh’s frailty’s.

 

[Fabio]

So, have Chelsea turned a corner? They look quite good today

 

[Shadey]

3-4 come on chavs

 

[Fabio]

3-4 come on chavs

4-4

 

[Shadey]

4-4 what a great game.

Dunno about that. Spurs were all over them with nine men until the last phase of that game.
Still, way too much money and talent in the squad and manager for them not to come good at some point.
