Got to say I really liked the look of him on the left. I feel like once Kev's back we might see the two of them swap flanks more frequently. They're both at their best when they're running in behind and being direct rather than cutting inside and influencing build up play like Bryan used to.

I don't really understand the modern obsession with inverted wingers. If you have a traditional physical centre forward like Thiago, inverting the wide players means you largely lose the option of crossing on the wide player's stronger foot for the CF to finish with a header or shot. Janelt's superb goal simply wouldn't happen with that system. I think Bryan was an example of a player who was more suited to playing in the inverted system but I don't think it necessarily applies to the players we have now.

Reminds me a little of JDS in his first season. Patches of "hmmm, dunno yet", interspersed with "facking hell, some player" during the second half of the season.

He can play any position across the forward line and I think his left foot is considered his stronger one.

He played left back in some games for AFCB.

But he also scored a great goal at Villa Park from right attack using his left foot…

He's left footed, obviously, as we play inverted wide forwards, just as Kevin is right footed.

Almost Hickey-like two footedness! Let’s see if we can get 3 forwards into double figures this season…Dango’s the only one without a hat trick…

I know it’s not relevant to us, but he got one against Forest last season. I was hoping for the same when they played us recently but of course it never happened. Now if he could just get one against dirty Leeds that would be perfect.😉

one? he got a hattrick against them last season.

Then again, I suppose that's why certain people might have questioned the fee and his pedigree. I mean, anyone can score against Forest. His other goals last season came against the dregs of the league as well (Ipswich, Southampton, Putney). The season before he only managed one against Sheffield United, albeit playing as a LWB mostly.

However, 2 game winners in a row (and that peach of an assist) against two top 8 teams... he's on fire. Add to that, the winner against Villa earlier in the season as well as a goal and an assist against the defending champions. Already a marked improvement from his time in Muff.

He really is a slippery eel.

Yes. One hat-trick.

Dango Ouattara is Justifying His Club-Record Transfer Fee - Breaking The Lines

Seven days in February may have reshaped the perception of Dango Ouattara at Brentford. The west Londoners spent a club-record £42 million to acquire his services in the summer. It was an attempt to offset the 40 goals lost by Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa’s departures. But few believed Ouattara...

He’s a real physical beast, easy to underestimate how powerful he is, alongside his skills: and more to come

Im not sure what Arsenal saw in Gyorkeres, seems a lower level premier league striker who will grab some goals to keep a side a float but not a striker to win premier league or do well in Europe?

One of those who scores a bundle in Portugal or Holland but can’t really hack it here

Very impressive that he didn't have a big sulk when Igor didn't slip him in, and that he covered Timber's injury-time run. Still hopeful that he'll push on a few levels, given his age, settling in, etc.
 

Dango Ouattara

brilliant in phases but could have done better with the chance when Thiago headed it down for him and he put it over

Frustrated the hell out of me today.

Poor performance and decision making. Looked very uninterested when we didnt have the ball.

He was much much better in the 2nd half but in the first half I thought his work rate and desire to fight for the ball wasn’t there.
I was sitting in E215 and there was a ball over the top which he might have won the race for (with a bit of effort) but he just put the brakes on and didn’t try.
Still, he wasn’t alone with being well under par in that 1st 45.

Never hid from trying to influence the game but control wasn't there, often miscontrolled the pass or failed to read the game. Firing over the bar when well placed late in the second half summed up his and the Bees day...

Really??!!
Had to quickly hook it back over his shoulder!
Would've been a goal of the season contender if he'd scored!!
 

Dango Ouattara

Struggled yesterday. Thought he was very laboured yesterday. Didn't track back as much as normal and look frustrated. Contrary to Schade on the other side who defended very well.
