Brentford Match Thread

[Guest Kopfkino]

How are we so technically poor? Castagne, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndidi & Daka take the absolute piss with how bad they are technically. 
 

Ndidi much better than he’s been for a long time defensively and miles better than Mendy. Stick Tielemans in and we might have had a chance. Many of their better opportunities including the lead up to the goal have come from us having to skip midfield and play crap balls up to Maddison in the hope he can do something with it.

You can't judge our wingers under this manager.. Every time Barnes or Tete get the ball they are having to try and beat 2 or 3 players to get a cross or shot in. where are the overlapping runs coming from?

Got no attacking play, Rodgers seems scared to tell them to go for it, funnily enough getting all players attacking is what got us high scoring wins against Tottenham and Villa, reverts to barley getting players supporting attacks and we do absolute nob all.

The beauty of it is...

 

...it's still in our own hands.

 

But only for another 45 minutes.

Yes we've been dreadfully unlucky. On another day we could easily be 6 or 7 up here I reckon

Take it that’s sarcasm from the laughing reactions

Vards and nacho immediately 

I'm sorry but Vardy hasn't seemed that interested the last few games he's played.

 

Though too be far the service has been terible to him.

[Paninistickers]

We've been OK. Wilf has been immense which is nice to see. Ricky starting to find his groove. 

 

Tete hideous. Playing effectively with 10 men. Always gonna be up against it. 

[phoneticerror]

Out and about today so can’t watch a stream. How avoidable was the goal?

[FoxyJim1987]

Sums up our season that half. All fart and no poop. Loads of touches, possession, look the part in every area apart from the ones that matter. Comical goal with 35 deflections, whilst we will finish up on 28 attempts with 0 on target. Vardy will come on after 68 minutes, touch the ball 4 times, hear the chant about his wife being a grass and run about a bit. Maddison will still be complaining down the tunnel at the end about the 17 tackles he was fouled for that he didnt get a free kick. Rodgers will say the team gave everything.

Where's Var for the like of that foul on Maddison. I thought it was supposed to pick up on Refs errors.

Only for possible red cards. 

[David Hankey]

Possible tasty local derby next season, v Derby County?

I don’t actually think we’ve been that bad. It’s just the fact we’re losing again after so much shite that makes us so fed up.

We trying to play keep ball but are rubbish at it, defensively still all over the place and havent had a chance on target.

 

If we was top of the EPL I would still be moaning about this performance.

Maddison is awful when he's got it in his head he's injured.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

We are currently only out of the bottom 3 presumably on goals scored as West Ham below us have same GD.

It took 35 deflections touching nearly every one of our players and the keepers legs before going in

Yes Tete is not equipped for the poremiership.

This is my issue too. 
 

People jump on Barnes and Tete, but when the team plays with zero momentum and zero pace what do people expect? Every time Tete gets the ball he’s stood still, I meanC what the **** to people want from them? 
 

There’s not many players that can thrive playing in a side as passive and lifeless as we are. 
 

Tete was dynamite before he came here, he’s just had everything sucked out of him.

[leicesterlad1989]

We treat the ball likes it's a ****ing live grenade. KDH and Ndidi (albeit defensively been sound) constantly give the ball away. Unfortunately Daka isn't good enough to play on his own. 

Iheanacho is a must second half. I'd even bring Mendy on too as he's tidy on the ball.

Our build up play is so painfully slow. Unbelievably so. It's horrific to watch.

There’s little movement, and one of our midfielders just passes the ball on and goes and sits in front of the defence, complete waste

[somebum]

Time to face facts...these fools would struggle in the championship

They sound completely different though?

[Sunbury Fox]

Same old crap: the odd nice on the eye move in the centre of the park but with no end product, the lack of pressing, the failure to get shots on target, and a total unwillingness to ever try a ball in behind the opponent's defence to turn their CBs and use the pace of Daka. We are so desperate for new ideas and a new manager.
