Good to see Maddison playing better today

Man United last week?

Haha, yeah fair play. Other than the 'big 6' then.

When is the last time we've actually started a game well and continued through to 90? Genuine question. 

1968..home to Manchester United.

Won 2-1

Fern and Nish.

Playing out at the back isn’t going to work against these 

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

Delighted with currently winning 1-0 away but we've really struggled so far and can't continue to try play our way out. Or like this for 90mins.

 

If they press then there is space up to play more direct.

 

 

[Milo]

Burnley time wasting tactics? 

[Grebfromgrebland]

Against a high paying team why are we trying to pass it out to our central defenders.

 

It seems foolish

We were 2-0 up at Palace when playing badly and threw that away

[filbertway]

They're absolutely running all over us. Can't pass our way out and losing every battle.

 

Wonder if were gonna decide to start playing soon. 

 

Brentford must be wondering what more they have to do to score

 

[Foxin_Mad]

If they don't equalise and go on to win this is a travesty for football. We are dogshit.

[lgfualol]

These lot put half their team in the box when attacking

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Great save Kasper 

[coolhandfox]

Brentford are a very refreshing throw back to an old style of football, aggressive, front foot, playing forward.

 

Definitely one of the teams to benefit from the relaxation on fouls.

[Guest Col city fan]

Wtf was that from our own goal kick

😡

[Jattdogg]

Are we playing against bayern?

[filbertway]

Looks like no lessons have been learned and no corners turned haha.

 

Trying to pass through a wall rather than kicking it over the wall over and over again. Such brain dead tactics

[PhillippaT]

*phew*

[StanSP]

Another great save from Kasper but still too easy for Brentford 

[Finnegan]

We have been underwhelming so far but we've just come back from a midweek trip to Moscow where most of the same team played a draining 3-4 and Brentford will be one of the most energised and hard working teams we'll play all year. 

 

This was never going to be easy. 

[Larry_LCFC]

Please can we stop with this passing out from the back from goal kicks. EVERY ****ing week. I just don't understand what we are trying to achieve. Pass ourselves into trouble every time. Such a stupid tactic.

[David Hankey]

Where would we be without Kasper?

[sishades]

We are second to every ball. They look like Real Madrid.

[Jattdogg]

Vardy goal incoming

[drumbeat]

Soumare is not with the pace of this game.

What, only having out field players? 🤷🏻‍♂️
