Igor Thiago

[badgerbee]

which song did we use then??

As predicted...

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

which song did we use then??

Well I sincerely hope it was the Waltzing Mathilda alternative. Will be very disappointed for @Aus Bee if not.

 

[Simon W]

His wife & what may have been his Mother or MiL was in the crowd amongst the Bees fans!

 

[petsknee]

So excited. Big lad, big presence, big things to come. Loved his reception today, loved his massive grin at the end.

 

[mundee4england]

Like a lot!

 

[80s Bee]

Very promising debut in a difficult situation. Can’t wait to see more of him next Saturday.

 

[Rob Bartram]

This guy is the real deal. He’s got the perfect combination of being a unit who will bully defenders and mobile enough to effectively press and put himself about. It’ll take a little while to get up to speed, but you can already tell he’s the real deal. Can’t wait to see him develop.

Won some headers and free kicks. Defended well and showed footballing intelligence. Excellent cameo.

His mother was sat behind me and she was so proud when he came on. She was loving the songs.

TH-IA-GO!

 

[mundee4england]

There were three or four occasions where he won a foul, or a header, or kept the ball, where it would have otherwise come straight back at us so far this season… we have missed that so much since Ivan went and it’s so valuable. I’m not knocking Yoane or Bryan as they have done very well and have other attributes, but the ability to relieve pressure is so big at this level.

 

[Stanley]

Never heard us sing a song so loudly for a player before he makes his actual league debut. Good job he looks like living up to expectations.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

He will be a Brentford legend even should he turn out to sh*t.- haha

 

[GP200]

…………….charming…………….

 

[PGH_Bee]

Gotta say he looked the part. Physically imposing, winning headers, causing defense headaches. MOST IMPORTANTLY, Flekken had a consistent long ball target and had success pinging them out to Thiago. Absolutely massive to have the choice between playing short and playing long with success. Not sure he starts over Wissa, but I could see Jensen on the bench, Damsgaard CM, Wissa LW and Thiago at center. I know Wissa is best centrally but we absolutely have to get Thiago on the pitch

 

[RAF_Patto]

Thi-ah-go, GO.
Always believe in your soul.
You've got the power to know,
You're indestructibleeeeeeee.
Always believing,
Thi-ah-go, GO.

Am I allowed to lay claim to this?

?

 

[SmiffyBee]

To the tune of Brazil.... from the Terry Gilham film Brazil.

Igor
Teeeeeee-iago
He came so far
from old Brazil
Score, he will
He hates nil-nil
And Orange peel
Brazil

What i would LOVE to see im the next few games if CN is out is a 3-5-2 of
Flekken
SVDB, Collins, Pinnock
Bryan, Janelt, Damsgaard, Jensen, KLP,
Igor, Wissa

 

[coconino]

I love the madness of it, he’s barely played twenty minutes of a league match and already has two songs! ?

 

[WarrenBee]

This guy is going to be something else once he gets up to speed. Can't wait to see him go from strength to strength.

 

[rebus]

As predicted...

What a boost that must be for him to hear that. Well done everyone that travelled, he’s in no doubt we’re behind him.

 

[horshambees]

For some reason I don't like songs that mention how much we paid for a player?

Hes better than Willian ?

 

[horshambees]

Massive smile on his face at the end of the game.

 

[herefordutdbee]

Thiago ?

 

[rebus]

Thiago ?

Well done Nathan Collins for pushing him right out front to get the applause. Igor loved every moment of that. ?

 

[benfleetbee]

Thiago ?

Noticed the Everton ball boy having a selfie with Van Den Berg

 

[Old B]

Also pleased with Wissa’s reaction at the adulation of Thiago, could quite easily get the hump if he thinks we love Igor more than him.

 

[BeeReal]

In just his brief appearance he has already shown ability to hold the ball, win headers, bring others in the game with flicks and passes, win fouls and generally scare opponents.
He was loving the reception he was getting and that grin.....

Wear your frown upside down like Thiago!

great film, but we dont need that song..... cos we've got GOLD!

 

[BuzzingBee95]

Now the headache begins for TF…

Does he start Igor straight off against Leicester? If so, what does that mean for Yoanne?

A front two of both perhaps but if Bryan is on the right, I don’t fancy Yoanne LW. Does he drop to the bench after all this time working to get off it?

Tres interessant

I think TF post match interview was quite telling.

Saying we wont see him at his best/fully ready for a month.

I suspect he will still be benched for Leicester.

Don't forget we have 9 games in a 5 week period coming up so I would expect some squad rotation providing we have enough fit players.

 

[BEEcool]

I’d be happy to see him eased in to the team gradually. It’s going to take me a while to be comfortable watching him without worrying he’s going to get injured again.

 

[Brentford77]

I’m not knocking Yoane or Bryan as they have done very well and have other attributes, but the ability to relieve pressure is so big at this level.

It was so noticeable that the moment he and Schade came on, Flekken was looking to kick into the channel a la days of Toney and we suddenly had a potential out ball we haven't seen in months

No way he will take Wissa's starting spot in the immediate future. He's been scoring regularly and scaring the hell out of defences. His is the shirt to lose at this point in my opinion. IT will get his time but he will need to earn it from the bench initially

 

[Beat Poet]

Using the metric of "minutes played", is he the player who has earned fully-fledged cult hero status the soonest? 45 minutes in a pre-season match and 20-odd on his competitive debut.

OK, I add another metric, being "a relative unknown upon signing".

A bit before my time, but not a bad shout...three appearances in 1978-79 and I can safely assume the hat-trick on his first appearance of 1979-80, in December, immediately endeared him to the Griffin Park Faithful.

A lot of factors for Igor yesterday. The extended signing period, the injury, relief at someone injured is finally back, then that towering header for his first touch!

 

[Griffingreen]

Well done Nathan Collins for pushing him right out front to get the applause. Igor loved every moment of that. ?

Hope he enjoys a little more pushing to the front for the lap of honour after the Leicester win

 

[jlove]

Not the ideal circumstances to make your debut, but he did very well when he came on.

What impressed me was he came on and stood right in front of Tarkowski and stuck to him. I presume this was a specific instruction – not to look for space but pin Tarky to defensive duties and minimise any opportunity for him to get forward, given their “crosses” all seemed to be aimed at the far post where he normally positions himself. Schade got quite close and they seemed to be working together for Flekken’s deliveries, Igor pinning Tarky and Kevin going for the header.

All the time in and around the squad so far this season has not been wasted.

 

[Ashford Bees]

I love the madness of it, he’s barely played twenty minutes of a league match and already has two songs! ?

And Bryan doesn’t even have one ?

Also, he is the last person defenders want to see coming off the bench all fresh on 60 minutes.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Nope and it sounds like he was a handful.

My only thinking is how TF transitions the team to start trusting the new signings. Theres a lot a talent in the group.

Fabio
IT
Schade

Cult figure. Used to love the Booker chant

 

[cliffbee]

Can't drop Wissa after the season he's having so it's just a question of whether we can make a forward line of Mbuemo, Thiago and Wissa work. Gonna be fun trying!

 

[Griffin]

His wife & what may have been his Mother or MiL was in the crowd amongst the Bees fans!

Seemed to be his mum, partner, along with Nunes’s girlfriend in the seats behind us.
They were filming the chants and were quite emotional when he came on.

 

[GABS]

Nailed on for bench again IMO. It was a nasty sounding injury he's recovered from, easy does it.

 

[Silly Hat]

Anyone know if he had a song at Club Brugge? Maybe it'll translate...

We hebben Thiago
Hij is f***ing griet
Hij komt uit Brazilië

 

[damsgard.szn]

he’s going to make schade a lot better I reckon. A physical presence he can run off might be exactly what he needs
