Brentford 4 Leicester 1 Post Match Thread.

It’s not just Justin though is it. He’s a big part of the problem but It’s no coincidence that Faes plays the right sided centre back. Putting Hamza there, or Okoli, or a youth teamer doesn’t sure up that side. It’s not even a system issue, it’s football basics half the time. 
 

For Brentford first goal, to play 3 at the back and have a gap that large between centre back and right back is borderline criminal

I sort of agree, but the explanation might not be down to lack of fitness, or not completely.  I think that when a team is disorganised as much as ours is, and when players are lacking confidence in themselves and their teammates, then the will to makes runs when you have no reasonable hope of being found with a pass, to press when you feel you're doing it as a loner, to chase an opponent when you can see others not being marked anyway, etc etc is drained away. If we were organised more cohesively to play as a team then a lot of things will improve, and lifted spirits will automatically put more of a spring in the step of all the players.and a determination in their attitude.

To play as a team you have to be on the same hymnsheet. We're simply not working hard enough to take up good positions when we gain possession.

There's also too much space between us which is why many of the passes get cut out. JJ, Soumare, NDiddi and Faes look to be carrying af ew  pounds.

Maybe they got too comfortable last season in the Championship when they didn't have to break too much sweat.

If I were Ruud I'd get the fitness levels while instilling my methods on the Squad. My guess is we'll see abig turnover over in personnel during the next couple of windows.
