Dango Ouattara

[Mark H]

Will have more impact for us this season than Mbeumo will have for United.
Great business again.

 

[hardybee]

To say he’s only 5’10 (wiki) he wins a lot in the air. Impressive

 

[bostonhanwell]

He's a proper handful

 

[Windmill Rd Bee]

So good tonight with basically nothing to feed off

 

[Adam]

Looks a better option through the middle than Thiago at the moment. Amazing how good he is in the air.

 

[maddogging]

I love him

 

[MDW82]

Brilliant performance tonight. MOTM for me.

 

[damsgard.szn]

last season we signed igor thiago, this season dango outarra, they would both do anything for the badge. love him

 

[cheshirebee]

Given he was in a two up front, don’t think Bryan would have caused half as much of a problem to Villa as Dango did tonight.
He‘s gonna be better than Bryan. (and Igor’s gonna be better than Toney).

 

[stevil]

last season we signed igor thiago, this season dango outarra, they would both do anything for the badge. love him

Hope they're both OK!

 

[BFC1997]

He’s considerably better than Mbeumo

 

[w7 bee]

Hope they're both OK!

Dango had cramp .....i lip read KA .

okay enough beer for you

Your username has Damsgaard spelled incorrectly btw

 

[alexinho]

He is so fun to watch. Defenders just haven't got a clue what he's going to do next. Love him already!

 

[King Bee]

He’s considerably better than Mbeumo

Different player but I would certainly rank him above Wissa in terms of overall ability. Was really good tonight.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

That’s the first time I’ve noticed this. And I’m a right old pedant. You must be even worse than me!

Blockbuster?

 

[guilly]

Shocked about how easily he was winning headers and long balls, that was definitely a card he had under the sleeve.

Nelson won a couple too

I thought they were just a bit sh*t. Dango my MOTM

 

[beesupfulhamdown!]

Thought he was class again

since then I got off the grolsch!!

 

[beesupfulhamdown!]

He’s considerably better than Mbeumo

That is a false and bold statement

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

He’s considerably better than Mbeumo

Ridiculous comment. You've got a few bites so well done.

 

[BFC1997]

Ridiculous comment. You've got a few bites so well done.

We shall see

 

[BmthBee]

He’s considerably better than Mbeumo

I wouldn't go as far as that.... Yet, but I certainly wouldn't bet against it being so in a few years time

 

[Sultan]

Is there a point to paying 40 million plus for a substitute?

 

[beesupfulhamdown!]

Like vitaly has to start vs man u

 

[hanworthbee]

Is there a point to paying 40 million plus for a substitute?

Yep....best place for Igor

 

[mundee4england]

Has to start, looks dangerous and unpredictable which is lacking elsewhere currently.

 

[w7 bee]

Might be a reason not starting.....illness recovery ? .....otherwise it makes no sense to me.

 

[BFC1997]

We went with two strikers, so one of Thiago/Schade/Outtara is going to miss out.

Thiago is the target man, so plays, with then one of the other two the one to stretch play and run off him. Hard to drop Schade after Chelsea game?

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Is there a point to paying 40 million plus for a substitute?

We paid 20 million for someone that can’t even make the substitutes bench. At least Dango gets minutes.

Who's that then ?

 

[King Bee]

Who's that then ?

Milambo

 

[beesupfulhamdown!]

Has to be starting looks our most threatening player

 

[Kingston Bee]

Has to be starting looks our most threatening player

He may get his chance against MU especially after last night.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

He may get his chance against MU especially after last night.

Well probably play 4 centre backs for that one.

 

[jlove]

He may get his chance against MU especially after last night.

Reverting to a back 4 and playing him on the right side of attack will allow him to provide defensive cover to our right back, something he seems to be good at from his minutes on the pitch so far.

 

[PGH_Bee]

Simply has to start, looked by far our most threatening player every time he’s on the pitch

 

[TorbayBee]

Yes give our forwards the freedom to attack Eff the multiple centre halves .

 

[Hippobee]

He does, but KA has got to get these forwards playing in synch or as a partnership. Brilliant though Dango looks, for much of the first half v. Villa on Tuesday he was far too isolated, with Carvalho nowhere near him.

Thiago was given sod all to work with yesterday. If Dango takes his place, the problem will be the same unless there is more cohesion. Prime Bryan Mbeumo would have made no difference yesterday, as he'd have barely seen the ball. If he did, he'd have had a 2 on 1 straight away with no one to pass to.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Yep, Bryan had a terrible game against Fulham last year. It almost feels a psychological problem against them.

2 seasons ago we won 3-0 there

There was a pocket at the back of the West stand trying to get:

Dango, Dango, Dango,
he comes from Burkina Faso.
And there’s no one I’d rather,
than Dango Ouattarra,
scoring those Brentford goals*

to the tune of “Follow, follow, follow…” going.
Has promise, let’s see if it gets picked up.

*or similar, sorry if didn’t catch all the words.

Thanks for the words.
This got a decent outing at CC, let's get it blasting out on Saturday.

This was being sung at the Putney End on Saturday, but I think the last line was different: "scoring wherever he goes." I think that scans better, but maybe I misheard.

 

[Indian Bee]

Dango won't get many mentions today but he was excellent I thought, we are a far better team with him in the side and his work rate is second to none. Wonderful team player.

Worked very hard. Wish he’d shown some composure with the cut back from Schade, he had a bit more time than he realised. I can’t recall if it was before or after the Collins challenge on Mbuemo, but at 3-1 that would have been game over.

 

[Wooburn Bee]

Totally agree. That is one dangerous front three and hopefully Nelson can provide some competition and now looks like KLP will be back on forward duties from the subs bench, on latter he looks more comfortable, as today, on the right.
