[Isleworth_Bee]

Not a complaint, but he does seem to be less noiticable in games (other then that charging run into the middle on Saturday.

Wonder if KA is working on him holding shape etc.

All about MK at Number 3

 

[Gazza Bee]

He is box office but heart stopping at the same time - makes some crazy runs into the centre of the park so just needs to learn when and when not to try and beat 3 players.

I think he’s allowed one of these a game. Just to disrupt the opposition’s thinking. I guess a Pep could set up to invite him to do one and use it as a trigger to move into the vacated RB space. That’d end it if we weren’t wise to it. I wasn’t looking there during Saturday’s game but earlier in the season noticed Dango (who’s also played FB) just dropping in to cover when MK has gone for a crossfield charge. As they develop their understanding of each other I can see the two of them as a pair if chaos engines.

One a game is fine if circumstances allow but there were 3 or 4 on Sat and it wasn't doing my ticker any good I love him but there is a lot more work required - his ceiling is scarily high IMHO

I think Man U are disorganised enough to allow it but agree few others will be.

You can’t look forward to seeing FTT coming on then! 20% of the outfield players likely to bring imminent chaos, hopefully to the opposition…

 

[LongLostBee]

He opens the field up when he strides past a men (or men).
If we can get the midfielders doing this more (so he doesn't have to) we'll move up to the next level.

Aaron and him were switching sides Saturday . Is that because Hickey had to cover when Mick ended up on the left wing , or tactical ?

I think it was usually when MK was taking a throw from the other side.

He was taking throw ins from both side of the pitch. If we lost possession quickly he would never make it back across the pitch, so as I see it they switch until they can switch back over.

 

[Streetboy]

This was especially evident during the Chelsea game, when a few times he turned inside and ran into a clump of three or four opposition players rather than taking the simpler option down the channel. But just when you think 'bloody hell what's he doing', he'll then go and do something completely brilliant a few minutes later. It will certainly never be a dull moment watching him, and once he matures as a player and learns more from the older heads, he'll be one of our next clutch of circa £50m assets.

Eddie Nketiah and Michael Kayode starring for Premier League surprise packages Crystal Palace and Brentford

Eddie Nketiah and Michael Kayode press international claims for Ghana and Nigeria respectively, and are proving to be surprise stars for Crystal Palace and Brentford respectively.

www.espn.co.uk

One of the spearheads of the Premier League's rediscovered trend for piercing throw-ins, Kayode demonstrated again why he perhaps sets the new gold standard for the top dangermen from the touchline, ensuring he rubs shoulders with the likes of Rory Delap and Steve Watson.

Andrews' promotion to the head coach role at Brentford came after he had served as the Londoners' set-piece coach under Frank, and don't be surprised to see Kayode's throws become a hallmark of the club's play this season.

Kayode's throw-ins will continue to catch the eye, but it's also worth noting that no other Brentford player made more tackles or won more duels against United, while his physical attributes and tenacity could yet make him one of the most rounded fullbacks in the division.

A decision to make ?Kayode has represented italy from u19-u21

Can still play for Nigeria though.

 

[TheHairdresser]

Bit of a long shot if the author of that piece thinks they'll qualify for next yr's WC.....aren't they now reliant of other results going their way?

 

[Homer]

Joint 6th most take-ons completed this season, everyone else in the top 10 is a winger/forward.

Kayode v Doku will be fun. Hopefully.

Michael's USP is that he does it on both wings during the same half of football....which I presume is a unique trait among FBs these days.

Bit like those concept cars on Tomorrow's World where the steering wheel would slide across the dashboard for Johnny Foreigner motoring purposes.

I hope he's not giving up on Italy to play for Nigeria just yet as the bloke who's the current Italian RB is 33 and especially not before afcon

Brentford player on Napoli's January shortlist - Antonio Conte wants improvement

Michael Kayode has emerged as a key player for Brentford this season. He isn’t just impressing with his ability to cover distance, but has also developed a unique long throw-in. This has proved to be a threat against many clubs in the Premier League. As a result, the Brentford defender is now...

[LongLostBee]

When he next looks like winning the MoM award...can we get the canteen whipping up some Spaghetti to go with a bottle of Moretti (and a "QPR suck" T-Shirt) so we can set up a table for him to present the award

Just gets better every time/match.

 

[Beelated]

When he collided with Collins early on, where Collins trod on his knee and Michael stayed down for a few minutes it looked like that he’d have to come off with a serious injury. Fortunately, he’s built of sterner stuff and he had a great game after that.

 

[ABEEE]

The lads a tank (not you frank) and a machine. Good going!

 

[SH]

Crazy how good he is at (just) 21. Surely a call-up to the full Italy squad must be coming

Yep i was thinking, how many right backs do Italy think they have better than Mike, and who on earth are they?!

 

[Chomp]

I honestly go all giddy when he takes possession and goes on one of his dribbling runs. A joy to watch. Bravo.

 

[Edmundo]

Who do Italy have at right back ahead of him?

 

[Edmundo]

Ah, snap!

 

[damsgard.szn]

so so so good

 

[PGH_Bee]

Sign him to 1000 year loan contract immediately

 

[bexleybee]

So good. He’s going to be on some January shopping lists but Michael, I beg you please

 

[Nabz_98]

Who do Italy have at right back ahead of him?

Currently they have Di Lorenzo at the moment. But Kayode should be starting for the Italy squad ahead of him.

 

[Windmill Rd Bee]

Monster, genius, instant legend. I bloody love him.

 

[hanworthbee]

Di

Who do Italy have at right back ahead of him?

Di Lorenzo of Roma is first choice but he's 32 now

 

[To Bee Someone]

Insanely good. Love love young Michael

 

[davebee]

How long is his contract? He is going to be a superstar.

 

[dickie]

Absolutely outstanding tonight.

 

[Indian Bee]

Bloody brillant and candidate for the best long throw ever for our first goal !

mads bech’s throw to norgaard vs arsenal is the only one that comes close

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

That’s Kayode…

Bullied them all around the park tonight!

 

[BEEcool]

I think I might be a bit drunk on euphoria but thought that was one of the most complete full back performances I have ever seen from a Brentford player.

Also I’ve been guilty of reducing his runs from right back to left wing as a bit of a novelty but they cause absolute chaos and panic for teams trying to defend them.

 

[Downbeat Bee]

I noticed him tonight

 

[Jim Rourke]

@Banana suggested Yehor would be our first £100M player. Maybe Michael could be the first fullback if not first £100M.

There is so much more to him than a ‘Right back’

 

[Somerset Bee]

He’s incredible. I reckon he turned up in just about every position tonight bar goalkeeper. His legs don’t always seem attached to his body but what a player

 

[Justheretoread]

One of the best performances I’ve seen from a full back. Incredible.

And that long throw for our first goal…. A thing of beauty.

Truly, truly special player. Must be worth an absolute fortune.

 

[jbee]

That poor 16 year old (a massive talent btw) may need immediate therapy after suffocating in MK's pocket when he came on. What a monster of a player. Creates, dribbles and just generally wreaks havoc; and on the defensive side no one can get around him. Infectious character as well. Another one everyone else missed and we spotted. Incredible.
