Mathias Jensen

[Isleworth_Bee]

His pressure and tackling on Saturday was class. What a performance.

 

[Cobbett]

It's just been f***ing unpleasant listening to this negativity about one of our players for months. So, if him having a brilliant game stops that noise for one week then it's a relief. Those who have rightly stuck with him and supported him are going to revel in it a little bit.

I thought much the same, i.e. after everything he did in the game maybe he'll get a pass till say Christmas. But you're right, realistically it might be about a week.

I hope everyone noted what he calmly did in the box even before pirouetting and launching that glorious ball to Toney for the fourth. (It was right under my nose in West.) If Eriksen had exhibited that sort of calmness, touch and vision they'd have been talking about it in punditland all season.

I reckon if we’d bought McTominay in 2019 instead of Jensen his thread would have been way more positive as he works so hard and scores more goals. He’d probably have been very effective in the Championship. Would anyone swap them now?

 

[andyrew]

Because the amount of criticism on here over the last 12 months has been way OTT.

You say he was good last week, he was literally jeered off of the pitch by a section of our support. That's not ok, even if he was sh*t (he wasn't) then that's not ok.

Many of us recognise that he picked up an injury at the Euros last summer so he had no pre-season last year. He also had to step up a league so it was never going to be easy to come back into the team and perform straight away. If someone dared to point this out or find the positives in his performance then they were part of a weird cult who knew nothing about football.

It's just been f***ing unpleasant listening to this negativity about one of our players for months. So, if him having a brilliant game stops that noise for one week then it's a relief. Those who have rightly stuck with him and supported him are going to revel in it a little bit.

Certainly NOT revelling in it, just pleased that one of our leading players is now hitting all the right notes and orchestrating improved performances.

About time he had a song
Frank the Tank? got one before he had kicked a ball for us.

Super Matty Jensen.... super....

Spot on. It's also true that Eriksen was given a free pass for the mistakes he made last season, errors that would have invoked undoubted flak if performed by Jensen.

Previously mentioned this one:
"Oh, Matthias Jensen!!"
(Formerly used for Alan McCormack) and reckon it's even more apt, after his tough tackling which created 3 of our 4 goals on Saturday....

The West stand should give him a rendition of the Janet Jackson classic, 'What have you done for me lately?' next match!

Have you seen the showreel of McTominay from Sqaturday. It was hilarious. So many missplaced passes, missed tackles. Really was very poor. Which is strange as he's the one player I thought would get stuck in when he came on

 

[I'll Bee Damned]

"He used to be sh*te but now he's alright"?

Bit too soon I think

 

[GuyBee]

Having watched the goals a gazillion times, and listed to Matthias post match, it is clear that he knew which way Erikson would turn. When you watch the playback from behind the goal he goes for CE's left side, and he then turns into Matty. Had Erikson turned the other way there wouldnt have been a goal.

Which just goes to show the preparation that goes into our coaching, and the intelligence of our players.

You always wonder,when an ex player returns, if he has shared all our secrets with his new club. I doubt they ever even asked CE about little ol Brentford.

Jensen knew the 'out ball' was to the right back. He was intelligent enough to see the whole picture and anticipate where the ball was going.

I don't think it was about 'knowing Eriksen's secrets'.

I think he tried and despite the hilarity of that showreel was an upgrade on Fred who was not even in the right part of the pitch to do that dirty work let alone cock it up.

I think McFred get slightly unjustified stick overall (not on Saturday!) as their real problem is in front of them from the lack of pressing and defensive contribution from their forwards. That just leaves McFred exposed and usually pulled apart (if both on) to cover where Sancho and Rashford ought to have been tracking back while their other midfielders, whether CE or Bruno are just not ones to cover the gap in the middle they’ve left. Neither are Man U quality but are the best they’ve got for such water carrying. They genuinely took the wrong Christian from us.

To update the Sammy Saunders song

There's one or two that could make their own solo versions in contrition.

 

[Banana]

Doesn’t apply here then as it’s insightful and good natured criticism…mindless criticism on other social media has nothing to do with the gpg ….just to be clear ?

Can we clarify, "it's just banter"?

 

[BFC1997]

One of my favourite things about this thread is how often people will say “that was his best game for us” like it’s a one-off.

Errr, if it happens so regularly maybe he’s just consistently good?

If you think he's had a better game from Brentford than that one mate, I'd love to hear which one.

Rationally, no matter how many good games people think he's had for the Bees, let's not stir the **** and reinvent history, eh? That is by far his best game. Brilliant vision, harrying, tackling and composed finishing.

You miss my point.

 

[red_and_white]

It’s his best game I’ve seen him in with opposition considered. He was unbelievable against Oldham though.

if he was consistent he wouldn’t be with us.

In the press he’s excellent, average in the tackle and hugely inconsistent with his passing. His top level on passing is very high.

The blind condemnation of his every touch has been tiresome over the last year, so to see him put that performance in and pundits to adulate over him was satisfying

Like I said above , he’s not perfect, but lots of the critics in our fanbase are blinded by their preset opinion. Although, I dare say it’s the same with his biggest supporters too

I also like how people are saying 'if he does that every week then I'll stop slagging him off'.

Literally no-one said that after Vitaly scored 2 goals at Chelsea or after Toney scored a hat-trick at Norwich. Exceptional performances come along sometimes but players can't reach that level every single week.

 

[Billy Nylon]

MJ has been outstanding so far this season.

I do think this 6 months with Ekinsen has done him wonders now does the young jedi become the master ??

Hmmmm……Eriksen…….. Lost forever to the Darkside he is

 

[Chipshop Bee]

Where is everybody?

 

[King Bee]

Where is everybody?

Really, you want to start this up again? Perhaps you should have started with the Frank thread instead and how he got the tactics wrong in the first half?

 

[badgerbee]

Where is everybody?

Same place as you were on this thread last Sunday evening….??……

 

[Untouchable]

Where is everybody?

After you. You’re the one who has come on this thread trying to provoke a reaction

If you think Jensen had a bad game, make your case out.

You won’t. But I’ll wait.

 

[jlove]

We lost the midfield when he went off.

 

[To Bee Someone]

He did get an assist today.

 

[rebus]

Doesn’t help himself though, does he? Although worse are the people that can’t wait to reignite this thread as soon as possible after the game.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Thought he played OK tbh. No worse than anybody else.

 

[Chipshop Bee]

I hadn't seen the game yet (only radio). Jensen wasn't mentioned much (positively or negatively). So I thought I'd check his thread. Neither 'camp' had commented. So I prodded the bees nest. Crikey

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

First half bullied for 43 minutes…was great against a crap team like Utd but Fulham put it on him and he went missing ….a weeks a long time in football ? still not convinced he’s the next best thing ?

 

[Bees_and_flipflops]

I'd say a middling performance with regards to the rest of the players out there. Easily 3 or 4 that had worse games than him. Decent assist and some nice passes but obviously a long way from his best (as was the case for almost everyone out there).

Also, ridiculous comment to suggest Utd are a worse team than Fulham. Jensen and co. made Utd look bad. Today the team just weren't at the races until it was too late. But Jensen can't be blamed for any of the goals (though I'm sure one or two will do their best to). So this thread should be getting fairly little attention this week.

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

As much as he was good last sat he was equally as bad this week….Fulham bullied him and he had no answer…the jury is still out ??

Agree but we set him up to fail today, I posted yesterday I wanted to start with Vitaly as away and they would be out of the blocks and at us.
Away you don’t start with only 3 in midfield if two of them are creative players who don’t hit their tackles with Norgaard so far behind.
It needed Jensen or JDS first half with only 3 midfielders but we live and learn.

To be fair we did exactly that at Leicester with this formation and it didn't work either. Janelt got a bit of a chasing until he dropped back to CB and I think a lot of it is down to the defence being so deep and not being able or inclined to step up with the ball. At one point we had all three midfielders on the edge of our own box trying to get on the ball. We so badly miss Ajer striding out of defence and moving the whole team up the pitch.

The team got bullied, let's be honest. Ivan in the first half, Pontus, CN was poor etc. If everyone else rose to the challenge it'd make more sense singling him out

 

[James30]

Thing with Jensen he’ll have one good game then a few poor he’s not consistent enough to start every game I’m afraid when Damsgaard is fit he will take his place

Fair point. Thomas should only start him in the games where he’s going to play well.
