Brentford (A) 16/03: Build-Up & Match Thread

Angel for Mane

 

[Loki]

Perhaps if. Mosquera can drop his drama queen antics and concentrate on his defending....
Poor game all round aside from the goal. Tchatchoua off as soon as possible please. Put Tolu on alongside Armstrong to give them something to think about.

 

[broughtonwolf]

Probably the right thing as regards Mane tonight

 

[Loki]

Angel???

 

[Tony Towner]

Edwards is flogging Mane. He needs to be protected. He's a kid he'll want to play every minute of every game but a proper leader will protect him and manage his minutes.

I think that's fair for the last few games, he's had 10 days off for this one.though. Take away the fanfare and he's been poor more than he's been good outside of his first 2 matches. He tries to do too much and that's now killing him when in those first couple.of games it's what made him special. I think he needs to come out too, but not because he's tired, but because he needs resetting.

 

[PuntsWolf]

But.. you said there was confusion?

Yeah in Mosquera’s head being a moron, he shouldn’t be confused but he was (or just sleeping, call it what you will). Basically, It’s not the coaches fault that he can’t do a simple job. But in a 4 there would be 0 ambiguity, The RB picks up the LW. (theoretically, shouldnt have been ambiguity here, he should know what to do without a coach in this situation, it’s basic)

 

[Elvis]

Gomes' on the pitch: 2

Need a late Roddy appearance & customary get us out of shit goal

 

[Jinky]

Rob. That’s two opportunities to cross the ball in the opening minute of the second half, and on both occasions - there is no one in the box. Do you see that big 6 foot plus centre forward sat on the bench?

Fucking hell.

Without excusing Yerson, I find this to be a pretty astonishing position. C'est la vie.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Hugo has been poor.

 

[broughtonwolf]

The Horseshoe of Doom is not our strongest play I feel.

Fucking hell.

Who can't head the ball.

More seriously, it's the 5 at the back issue we've been discussing for years. We always are one attacking player light without the benefit of outstanding wingbacks to compensate

 

[Langers]

Hugo has been poor.

Agreed. I really don't think he's very good.

 

[Lupo]

Fucking hell.

Would just bounce off the top of his head and out for a goal kick anyway!

 

[Loki]

Is that a cunning plan? Put high crosses in for your shortarse number 9?

 

[Jinky]

Oh, I don’t particularly rate Tolu - but at least he stands and occupies the defence. At the moment we’ve got nothing to cross to.

You’re quite right about the formation issue though.

 

[broughtonwolf]

Fair play, good defensive work by JT there

 

[Templeton Peck]

Well on top now.

 

[Alan]

Late Jackson winner?

We're staying up????

 

[Elvis]

Hugo did well to get us a chance ball ended up with Jackson... never mind
