We've been told that the club are managing his minutes. Well Denmark aren't and they're reaping the benefits.

It’s been one of my only and main grumble regarding the team in recent months.
I’m sorry, Damsgaard has done things in a Brentford shirt that I’ve never seen anyone else do. At this height, opposition fans were standing up and noticing. Incredible player.
Nursing injuries aside, tactics permitting, if we’ve had to change his role slightly to accommodate current style, then that style has to be killer in his place.
Before people say it, that’s not directed at KA. But on numerous occasions hes been the best player on the pitch and I hope we seen that again soon

I agree and disagree with you. Has he been our best player at times? Yes 100%, and our most talented. Has he looked himself for the past 12 months? No he hasn't IMO.
He got a handful of goals and assists last season but didn't feature frequently enough due to injuries and what seemed lack of favour.
If we're being totally honest with ourselves, for whatever reason... Damsgaard hasn't looked himself since Thomas Frank left. That may be a total coincidence of course, but it's how I see it.

In the last international break he was on the receiving end of a vicious foul and has been playing with an injury ever since. That explains why he's not been getting as much time as we'd all like. There is no conspiracy.

Or since Wissa left! Those two appear to have had a great understanding, many of Wissa goals were put on a plate for him by Damsgaard. Thiego is a completely different type of striker so it may be that change, or as you say change in style of the Head Coach. Whatever, he has not been the same player since those two left the club.

I feel we have been very dependent on looking to hit the ball long for Igor . I think KA needs to make us more adaptable and fluid. I agree with others that we need to build our play around Dams in midfield with players freeing him to create. We are solid at the moment but inspiration will take us to the next level please.

Yes, but will not have the effect you seek unless the play goes through Damsgaard, and not over his head. Too many long balls for my liking. I originally thought it was Henderson, but we are playing like that, and he is long gone.
