Surely this situation is the reason we signed Callum Wilson ? We may have to play differently but he’s a wily old head who can give the Everton back four a different challenge to Thiago .
We will need to adapt our style a bit but that’s no bad...
That was a tough watch but fair play for a dogged second half performance and we’ll never know what it would have looked like 11v11 .
Not sure we’d have fared much better I think Brighton probably had enough to win today whatever , right now...
As frustrating 45 minutes in a while ! We are soooo naive it’s ridiculous! Of course opponents will try and rough up our big centre forward to try and get a reaction , of course at corners you target the small guy then when you feel the shirt...
I suspect Hickey who will be more at home than he was against Hull as I suspect our relationship with the ball will be fairly temporary for most of the match !!
Not sure if it’s been mentioned before but Georgia Hunter Bell Olympic athlete and Bronze medalist is a Brentford fan . She’s just been on Talksport and given a very interesting and articulate interview and at the end was asked what team she...
Delighted for him doubtless some will be saying we should have kept him but he was only getting cup ties with us and going out on loans .
His first opportunity to really ‘belong’ and he’s taking it with both hands after lots of injuries last...
Having watched a total of about 70 minutes of Romelle across a few matches the thing that has surprised me the most is his tremendous workrate. I must admit I had him as a bit of a show pony , someone who loves all the tricks and flicks but not...
I can also remember getting quite excited by signing Borota , here he is in the photo looking quite cool but he buggered off to Portugal I think before the season started .
Remember that opening 5-1 thrashing of Bristol Rovers and was utterly...
Whilst it’s hard to like Arsenal mainly because of Arteta was actually pretty happy to see the Scousers lose . They have become a nasty entitled team that push everything to the limit , when there’s 60000 scousers screaming it’s hard for a ref to...
Any win in the premier league is massive for me , this season they’ve been like hens teeth , in fact just under 30% of matches have ended in draws up from last season which was a record season (loving the ability of AI to tell me !)
This looks...
The challenges of being a back up keeper ! I’m sure he knows as well as we do that he wasn’t great tonight , looked strangely nervous which I’ve not really seen from him before , his problem now is that he doesn’t get to play again until January...
Sunderland basically had no interest in that competition, 11 changes and a cobbled together team that in the open 25 minutes was following the script and heading for a heavy defeat. We really could have been 3-0 up ourselves .
As we know only too...
Slightly alternative angle , who are the teams in the conversation to be relegated this season? It looks like an interesting relegation battle this time round with all 3 promoted sides picking up some results and to varying degrees making decent...
The thing I’m most confident of is how we manage Igor over the next few games, Keith Andrew’s has great emotional intelligence and along with his coaches will work with him to ensure the best outcome .
That was a situation teed up for Hull , coming into the game on the back of a poor performance at Fulham , conditions that were awful for football and a home game where they were massively up for it. You could tell in the first 5 minutes how...
Agreed ! That was some tackle , for the first bit of the slide it looked like it was going to be a two footed lunge , then morphed into ‘I’ll just hook one leg out and scoop the ball away ‘ all achieved in a nano second. We were right down the...
I may be persuaded if it was on the basis that the bar shuts at kick off and after HT with a limit of one pint to be brought into the stadium.
One of my mates is a Quins fan a group of us Bees to go to one game a season (going tomorrow) but it’s...
Wow take a bow the recruitment team , this guy is pure class , aggressive when needed , cool and calm and quality on the ball.
He’s given Keith the Chief a very nice selection headache as he looks undroppable to me .
