Michael Kayode

[rebus]

Never in doubt but what a great scout and signing. This guy will be worth an absolute fortune in two years time.

# CONFIDENCE breed Confidence. # So Buzzing for pre season/2025-2026. # This is Brentford key to a #top 6-8 Finish.

Goodness me, I don’t usually start suffering from summer euphoria until the end of July. By the time the new season starts you will have us doing the treble! ?

Michael is brought on in the 86th minute and gets x9 touches of the ball in x2 passages of play as Italy win 1-0.

 

[PGH_Bee]

Was surprised he wasn’t the starter but it looks like their starter at the position is 22 and the starter for Atalanta

A solid start for Michael. Getting plenty of the ball and using his strength against his opponent.

And his long throw in’s, of course!

 

[RitchBee]

Couple of heavy touches in 2nd half when in good positions but a tidy performance

 

[Beelated]

What a recovery run in the 88th minute and then demands the ball from the goalkeeper to take it up the other side of the pitch to the halfway line. The guy never stops running!

 

[Beelated]

FT 1-1

 

[Pixelator]

Champagne moment on about 36 mins - mazy Kayode run dinking past 2 players before eventually getting all those limbs a bit tangled.
He's such fun to watch.
And a couple of Brentford mentions on Spanish TV.

Yeah, I watched the game on Czech television and that moment was absolutely crazy. There were a few other special moments and overall I thought that he had a decent game.

A bit like at Ipswich where he took the ball late on from RB to LW!

You really are surprised aren't you??!!

Yes. I woukd love to see Kayode running down the flank and putting crosses in

 

[Smythy17]

Well he's surely about to get more of a rest now Italy are down to 9 men!

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Italy all but out now. 2-1 down with Zanotti sent off - never bench Michael Kayode!

Good news is he gets more of a rest and means we get him back sooner for pre season so not complaining…

It looks as though you may have to wait a while to see that happen, now that Italy are losing. Bees preseason, most likely.

 

[HaylingBee74]

WOW!

 

[Beelated]

Oops! A bit premature with my comment, there!

 

[TOXIC BEE]

96th minute equaliser with 9 men ?

NOW GET MICHAEL ON FOR EXTRA TIME!

 

[Leonardo]

He will play if they beat Germany.

 

[badgerbee]

On

Surprised zanetti starts ahead of him tbh

 

[Beelated]

Michael gets a few more days holiday now that Italy are out, but he’s played very well, certainly from what I’ve seen.

 

[Leonardo]

Was bright spark when came on. That marauding run was something. But then he got told tactically to stay back and defend and did good job.

It lead to him giving the ball away and Germany having a good chance to score. His runs are a trait that will need to be nurtured by the new coaching set up.

Worth a quick watch in the latest 1K run video. The boy certainly has an engine, not to mention enthusiasm ?

 

[beesupfulhamdown!]

He is some player that last stretch of games he played he was unreal.

On the Henderson thread

 

[KenCootesNephew]

Fine contribution today.
Love watching him play.

 

[Paul_T]

He had their left back on toast but we seemed reluctant to pass to him on few occasions. He's got a unique style that's really exciting to watch.

 

[Wooburn Bee]

Quite a conundrum as to who plays right back: Aaron or Michael. Would imagine that Rico will get first chance to nail down left back spot ?

[JasonBee]

Abundance of energy, quick and can put a great ball into the box with his hands and both feet. Right back position is his nailed on.

It's not tho is it, Hickey is also quality. RB is weirdly suddenly our most stacked position, having gone from juggling Roerslev and Ajer to Kayode and Hickey.

I personally prefer watching Kayode play to Hickey, but Hickey has too much quality to leave out and we don't need him at LB.

I'm with you that i'd start Kayode at RB and would move Hickey to midfield, however we would have seen that tried pre season if it was going to happen.

 

[mundee4england]

It is going to be interesting to see what KA does. Kayode offers so much, but Hickey is absolute class and I just don’t see how you leave him out of the side. A steady return for Hickey (and Henry) following such a long absence may buy KA a few weeks of rotation but ultimately a hard call will need to be made when it comes to Hickey, Henry and Kayode. Nice problem to have!

 

[alexinho]

At the moment I would say our first choices have got to be Kayode at RB and Hickey at LB.

Great to have 2 excellent players for one positions, same for left back.

I wonder whether Hickey might play centre back if we play a back 3 for some games? I seem to remember TF did that when he first came. If you look at our CB options Mee has gone and Kim Ji Soo has left on loan. Question marks for me on Ajar (injury issues) and Pinnock (pace) so we might see more of Hickey as a centre back in a back 3.

I like how people right off Rico...
