Thought he did good today, probably pick of the mids for me.

Faded second half but he won a ridiculous amount of balls in the first half. Comfortably our best player in that half.

I thought he’s settling in well, and made some immense blocks and tackles today. Then Hickey came on, and added another layer to midfield.

Next season we will see the best of him…

Bit like Yehor .

But he’s at a good starting base already!

Incredible defensive contribution in the first half. Tired in the second. Overall a good performance and hopefully one he can build on.

Thought he was MotM at Hull and was very good in the 1st half yesterday. He has everything a number 8 needs to go on to great things but might need a season to develop with us, I feel next season he is going to be up there with the very best in his position in the PL.

.... and one day, a ball breaking to him on the edge of the box is going to go in.

Quite excited with him sitting on the edge of the penalty box before a corner, ready to volley any knockdowns which do come back to him. He does like to hit it first time, and boy does he hit it hard...!

He’s a very exciting prospect who I think Keith is bringing on carefully. A bit like with Kayode who was started off being allowed to be a little chaotic and exuberant with his natural flair and then has had more structure gradually coached into him.

Sangare attempts a lot of amazing high risk things which are not yet coming off because they have to be inch perfect and team mates need to be trusting they come off (cf Eriksen who to start off with was finding passes which recipients hadn’t yet adjusted to going for because they were more audacious than they were used to). His natural energy and positioning already place him everywhere but building those telepathic no look relationships takes time.

He’s got excellent technique and has only been small margins from a number of spectacular goals this season. A bit like when Bryan was constantly hitting the post, when Sangare gets this right, he’ll add plenty of goals too.

It was a day for hard work & positional play and we got exactly that from him - which for me is a great positive. It wasn't a day for carrying the ball and picking a worldie pass it was graft, tackling, blocking and he did it well. Sangare has a very high ceiling and still learning the craft of a PL midfielder - we have bought un real quality & promise at a really reasonable outlay.
We have an abundance of strength in the midfield these days.

Yea I thought Sangare got through a lot of graft in the first half and won a lot of balls, he obviously has the tools to become one of the best around and knowing Brentford like I do am pretty convinced they are the ones to bring that out of him.

It's semantics but we've not really used a 4-3-3 even during Frank's later seasons. 4-2-3-1 (or any other nominal formation) doesn't mean you stick to it religiously and, certainly, one of the holding pair can roam forward knowing one will stay back. Lewis-Potter is free to roam anywhere but still the left holding player will drop wider to cover his adventures but that should mean the player to his right will cover centrally... Keith likes chaos!

I'm not sure that's strictly true.

Jensen seems to cover across more, and drop into those spaces just on the left, similar to where he used to play when we definitely played 4-3-3 with Norgaard, JDS, and Jensen. When Dams plays, it's definitely 4-2-3-1, but the heatmap on Sofascore also suggests it was more of a 433 against Forest. https://www.sofascore.com/football/match/brentford-nottingham-forest/osab#id:16363903

Hull was a very clear 4231, with Jensen high. https://www.sofascore.com/football/match/hull-city-brentford/absWb#id:16363896

On the double pivot (and more a comment for the other posters), usually one of the 2 will roam further forward once possession has passed by their "starting position". We don't want to attack with so few players, we want there to be an element of verticality, of players from different parts of the pitch arriving in the attacking areas. See, as a great example, Arsenal's goal against Liverpool, where Rice, one of their double pivots, burts forward and into the inside right channel to deliver the cross. We see Janelt do that, too, but more often it's the right sided midfielder, which has been Sangare more often.

Everything I see from this man reinforces my belief that he is the best midfielder on this team. I think we are in a great position with a deep midfield group to be able to limit his minutes and balance the group. With that said, I think we are a better team overall when he's on the pitch for 90 minutes. Being able to balance Janelt, Yarmoliuk and Sangare to keep them all fairly fresh will help us stay strong all season.

Tough match coming up this weekend, a player with his ability to pass through teams and break up plays is going to be essential.

How many complete ninety minutes has he completed in a Bees shirt?

As I inferred, individual players and game phases make any kind of nominal formation a bit difficult to present in a simple diagram. There'll be game phases where we're in many different patterns but 4-2-3-1 is the easiest to use to understand what we do... mainly that we don't play with conventional wingers... except when Anthony is playing!

Almost irrelevant now. With 5 subs and a stacked bench the only spots likely to play the full 90 regularly are the 2 x CB, plus Kelleher and Thiago.

Particularly with midfielders, some of whom seem to be told to burn themselves out and get replaced for the latter stages of a game.

I don't wish to be negative but Mamadou might be a fine midfielder but a regular goalscorer he ain't, notching just 5 in 59 appearances for Rapid Vienna and Lens.

Two out of the 5 on the panel thought it was a pen v Hull
