Brentford (A) 22/1/22 Build Up & Match Thread

[Metal_Warrior]

Need to score while we're so dominant.

 

[Throbber3]

Our final ball is ducking awful today

 

[jlo]

19 mins injury time so yeah that's about right.

Yeah I got the same figure too, BBC stopped the clock but not the officials it seems

 

[Jinky]

Lots more possession but still no real incision

They’ve got lots and lots of bodies behind the ball when we’re in possession and we’re quite slow at getting the ball forward, so there’s just been no cutting edge or chances from either team, really (as we’re the same when they get the ball).

Adama would make a difference and that’s what we’re going to lose when he buggers off to Spurs.

 

[The Bear]

I'm just glad we're back competitive and making a game of it.

Bit more creativity and guile through the middle and we'll be ok.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

66 minute first half and still going

 

[The Bear]

They've definitely got the clock numbers wrong with the added time.

 

[jlo]

66 minute first half and still going

Not sure but maybe as the game restarted in the 52nd minute, they might need to add on 7 more? Taking us to 71?

 

[Jinky]

A 71 minute first half. Don’t think we’ll ever witness one of them again!

 

[Throbber3]

Well that’s 72 minutes of my life I am not getting back. Insipid tosh , little quality, zero threat and poor final ball. It can only get better

 

[The Bion]

If it's anything like that half hopefully not

 

[malta mick]

A lot of possession in the final third but not creating a shot on target yet.

Adama is not really the one you want against a low block unless it’s loads of crosses you want (which we don’t)

 

[YoungWolf]

Toti has done well again but isn’t confident enough to pass like Saiss does which also isn’t helping our build up play.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Strangest first half I think I've witnessed. We improved after the suspension in play but never looked likely to score. 2 up front isn't working and neither is 3 in midfield even though Neves has had a pretty decent game. Podence and Fabio have looked like strangers and our WBs just haven't done enough going forward even when they've had the opportunity to attack. Brentford are pretty shit, long balls and long throws isn't a style of football it's a fucking abomination...

An early Max Kilman if you like. There's potential there though.

 

[CARALHO]

Pretty impressive how anonymous Dendoncker has been in a game which has descended into an attritional midfield battle

 

[jlo]

I think essentially this game highlights why a CM has got to be our biggest priority for this window

 

[Throbber3]

Adama as IF from the left please . Put a few million on his value please

It’s a talent he shows often
