Final Score Brentford 3 (KLP, Janelt, Kayode) Tottenham Hotspur 0

[Les Beeavinu]

Did anyone else feel that the sound on the PA system is not right . Yesterday in the North Stand and last Saturday at the back of the West Stand it is definitely not as clear as it should be.

Agree.

Although some will continue to argue the contrary, another example of why our leadership team advocate that possession stats are of relatively little value

[Oldboy TW8 0AW]

Why was KLP on the right wing in the lead up to the goal when he was playing left back?

KLP has possibly been given licence to roam.
Also, he is looking to get involved.
Many times last season, I noticed acres of space down the left back/wing areas,
but Brentford chose to attack down the right.
He had a brilliant game yesterday (as did the rest of the team and replacements) long may it continue.

So he DID initially win the ball back, play a pass in RW position before scoring like a number 9?
Vindication!

Just thinking as to when we scored 10 goals in successive matches, particular with no goals against - the Eintracht and the Spurs games.

I thought back to October 1963 when we scored 9-0 v Wrexham, having just lost 2-5 to Bristol Rovers.
But also scored 13 goals v Wrexham in just 6 days!

Anything later than this?

09 Oct 1963	Wrexham v Brentford	2-4	League Division Three
12 Oct 1963	Brentford v Bristol Rovers	2-5	League Division Three
15 Oct 1963	Brentford v Wrexham	9-0	League Division Three

Why was KLP on the right wing in the lead up to the goal when he was playing left back?

Because we are now playing total football.

 

[oxfordbee]

After the game, I thought it was ironic comparing Archie Gray with Sangare. As we all know, we were that close to signing Archie Gray, but Spurs came in with an offer that I'm sure was significantly more than we offered. What was he? 17 or 18 years old at the time, and I suspect he was badly advised in a long term sense as I believe for his development he would have been much better served coming to us, but instead chose a team that has in reality held back his development given all their trials and tribulations over the last 2 seasons.

Compare that with Sangare, who KA admitted last night could have earned a few bob more going to one of the other clubs seeking his signature. But it appears Sangare has been wisely advised that for where he's at, Brentford is the best club for him. And he so clearly enjoyed his day yesterday, whereas I don't think I've ever seen Archie Gray enjoy playing for Spurs.

Did De Zerbi blame the world cup for his players condition and fitness? The three players who namechecked, only one of which featured in the tournament. Ajer went deeper in the tournament with Norway and he looked bang up for it yesterday. He bullied Richarlison

He seemed to but it there appears to be little substance to his comments. They missed Porro as he was Spain’s starting right back. Senesi was a late call up to the Argentina squad but was largely a tourist, playing against Jordan. van Hecke (Netherlands) went home in the round of 16, Sweden (Bergvall) were knocked out in the round of 32 and Robertson (Scotland) was out at the same time as Hickey.
Italy (Tonali, Udogie) didn’t qualify and Richarlison (Brazil) and Solanke, Maddison and Gallagher (England) weren’t selected (because they’re sh*t).
Yes they have injuries but also a lot of available players for whom there was no excuse to be lacking in conditioning.

 

[Mick.C]

There was something in the air pre match, like a first day at school, people were happy and the buzz was in the stands as old acquaintances were renewed. Season 6 in the Premier League seemed different, the unknown seemed not so hesitant but more exciting combined with the general shrug of who knows what the footballing gods will bring. The flags waved and the atmosphere was like an early home game in PL Season 1, we had reset on and off the pitch and were ready and pre match pitched it perfect.

Spurs strutted like the Harlem Globetrotters pre match but Brentford opened as they did 7 days before with the same XI with an intensity that left Capt Archie Grey after 30 minutes blinking like a lost child looking for his mother at the school gate. His team mates all looked at the grass and adjusted their quiffs and styles.

We opened with panache, KLP full of Yorkshire bounce chuckled as Mikey Moore was passed round and through as Schade full of speed and guile forced the Bees 10 yards forward and then some more as Grey scurried and hurried as the Brentford cavalry charged past him.

Sangare buzzed and passed and moved that made Tonali look at Gallagher and then behind him, our Malian was here then gone, like the Pimpernel, a sumptuous passage of play and a give and go and a cutback and KLP slotted home. Like kids at the playground our boys jumped for joy, and we celebrated and shouted sheer footballing joy, we were home and the football was jumpers for goalposts but at the highest elite level.

Sangare allowed Jensen the freedom to breathe jostle and hassle and he went though the powder puff Bergvall winning a 60/40 tackle. Pontus would have spat his pint out at the Spurs tackling, Matti pinged and Kinsky parried weakly and Vitaly bundled the rebound home. 2 nil down and 200 million spent with little heart had De Zerbi checking his receipts.

Thiago bounced a header off the bar and held the ball up confidently and differently, a chest off and a back heel, he continually pulled wide and looked for the onrushing Dango and Kev. We were the masters of speed and Van Hecke and Senesi were left in the backdraft. Two minutes into the second half, a pinpoint set piece, the high hanger from a Vitaly corner, Collins headed back setting Mamadou to volley superbly goal bound, Kinsky down parried again and Kayode smashed one into the roof of the net. The smiles the togetherness as the players leapt on each other in front of the West Stand was there for us all to see, we were a team taking apart expensive individuals, we were playing special stuff and Spurs and us knew it.

Thiago rolled a penalty off the inside of the post and Kelleher made two great stops from Moore look routine. The excellent now becomes ordinary, the levels have risen. Dams came on and gave us brains with Yarmo new bulked up brawn and together with Jaidon Anthony who looked a suitable contender for a joust with Dango for that right wing place.

Ajer played like a man who knows he’s at a different level to before, a good World Cup gives a man confidence and together with Nathan they look a strong oak pairing.

The whistle blew and we all cheered and grinned at each other, that was something special. Keith waved confidently at us all and Sangare did an impressive induction FFD jig in front of the West Stand. There are some grey days, ordinary days and then some very good days, playing football in the highest league, to the highest level in a way and manner you want your team to play, is the Holy Grail. Yesterday we achieved a level of football that not many Brentford sides have reached in the past 80 years, the beauty about this side is there is no ceiling and they, Keith and us have no idea where this journey takes us and that’s a fantastic feeling.

A famous politician once said, ‘Most of our people have never had it so good’. Footballing wise we are living those days, only one game in, but we can all secretly think between us, this could be a history making season.

I remember the Wrexham home game very well. It was Dai Ward’s first game and someone put a leek on the centre spot. It clearly worked and made up for the previous disaster of a match. I was 18 at the time and now just one year short of swapping the numbers round for my age.

Well as you're counting pre-season friendlies, we won 10-0 against Tonbridge in 2011, don't even need a second game to make double figures.

[Paul_T]

One thing I meant to mention before but have only just remembered watching the highlights (again), can we please NOT sign about Thiago when he's about to take the penalty? I really don't think it helps the player to be the focus of attention when he's going to take a penalty, the pressure is high already and does feel to me like putting the cart before the horse. Yes let's sing it when he scores but it's a bit previous when he's lining it up.

I kept my limited signing for Tottenham players

 

[IslandBee]

Possibly because Keith doesn’t think he’s our best creative player. Our midfield is a different selection with Sangaré in the middle.

Yes, I have been as concerned as anyone about the place of Damsgaard in the team, given his obvious quality. However, you simply can't second guess KA's decision-making on this when the team produces the type of performance it did on Saturday.

What was most pleasing was how good we were in possession, a problem for us sometimes last year particularly when Damsgaard was not playing. Sangare brings a completely different dimension to our midfield and the balance with Vitay and Jensen looked absolutely right.

Damsgaard might need to be satisfied for a while with a 'finisher' role (if that is how it is seen now) but, wow, how fantastic is that for us?

It's just showing support for our player... We did it all the time for Toney. And probably loads of other players.
It's not singing "this guy never misses" or "it's gonna be 4-0"

I can’t see why there won’t be games where, tactically, we’ll see a different midfield mix and Damsgaard will start. Against a team that we know will sit in a deep block, we may dispense with Jensen’s high press and cross-field passing, for example. The tactical opportunities our squad depth gives us will make us less predictable.

And when they’re ready, we have JDS, FC and AM to add to the list of options

I’ve heard lots about how the Spurs starting 11 will be so much different in a few games time so not much should be read into this result. Some of the changes that will reverse their fortunes include the returns of Porro and Van de Ven. Weren’t these 2 at the heart of the defence over the last 2 seasons in a side that finished 17th, twice? Hardly a ringing endorsement.

Porro has a World Cup winners' medal and Van de Den is, er, fast. But you're right that the problems at Spurs run deeper than just shipping out a couple of dickhead test failures and spunking the GDP of a small country on some average players.

No doubt they have overpaid, but I think they have signed decent players. Obviously not being closed to the club it's hard to judge, but from the outside it looks like they have just sat down one afternoon and said "him, him, him and him" and splurged the money. If you look at their squad it doesn't really make any sense, I don't see any cohesion or any kind of plan or identity. I think Liverpool did the same thing, with even better players and de-stablilised themselves which will take a while to reverse.

Exactly. From what I have seen they have paid over the odds for 2 or 3 players and spent a shed load of money. Not really a squad rebuild and issues they had last season still exist.

Fantastic stuff.

Jamie Carragher has just done a great piece on the SKY MNF. He was positively gushing with his praise for us on Saturday. He broke down our tactics to disrupt Spurs desire to play through the middle and his analysis of KLPs total movement leading to our first wonderful goal was really inciteful. He said there were many good performances across the weekend but without doubt Brentford was the best...makes you feel very proud and it was a joy to witness.

Jamie is that you?
