Bees 3 (Pinnock, Janelt, Wissa) Liverpool 3 Att: 16,876

[Srebmun]

f*** me that was epic.

On the overground to Dalston Kingsland to go see Aba Shanti 30 Year celebration, need some heavy Dub to come down from that.

 

[Houghton Bee]

That was f***ing insane and then some.

 

[stomalomalus]

Klopp being delusional that they created more chances. Look at the xG, Jurgen!

Well, he's not wrong. They did create more chances...just we created better chances Which is epic.

Ivan and Brian were fantastic today, and we're soon going to have a full German international! When we had Derek Bryan and Scott Partiridge up top, I couldn't have thought we'd be where we are today. To go from those pretty dark days in the 4th tier to where we are now...

I went to school with a bunch of QPR fans, and they were always ahead of us. And then when they signed Rowlands... Yet now, we're just incredible. This team of stars. We're going to have a full team of internationals soon, too! Raya surely not far away from a Spanish call-up, all the defence are internationals, Janelt about to get capped, Brian maybe not far away (which is insane).

 

[Ken Richardson]

To say that I'm proud of our team would be an understatement. Thank you to the team and the fantastic support that they received.

 

[Mark H]

Klopp thinks we are a long ball team.

 

[AB]

Klopp thinks we are a long ball team.

We did play it long a lot. Passing out of the back all the time would have been suicidal.

 

[gbems92]

Raya should be wearing #10 apparantly lol. I think we mixed it up well, by no means long ball. Liverpool were playing quite a few long diagonals aswell, its just simple tactics against teams that press high, both teams used it quite efficiently hence the open and enthralling game

 

[Wise old Bee]

Liverpool got the sort of decisions you might expect them to get at Anfield. Impressed with how they tackled and chased and knocked the ball about all the same. Ivan gave VVD some battle. Couldn't beat us though, and I thought we could have won it late on. Too much to process really. What a night! I didn't want to leave the ground

 

[YorkBee]

Wow!!! Just Wow. Going toe to toe with Liverpool. So f**king proud right now

 

[To Bee Someone]

Absolutely brilliant atmosphere. Incredible scenes after the 2nd and 3rd goals. Quickly turned our new abode into a bit of a fortress.
What an incredible game. It's why we love football

 

[Mark H]

We did play it long a lot. Passing out of the back all the time would have been suicidal.

We did play it long more than normal but he made it sound like we were the new Wimbledon. The free kick embarrassed them, don’t think Rays was involved

Me neither. I just stood there for ages as the ground emptied, taking it all in. We have never faced a better opposition and in my time I think that was the best result we have ever achieved. I don’t know if I will ever see anything like that again. I suspect we have more to come but in case we don’t, I stayed until the last people left the ground. Thank you to everyone that got us from the dark days to today. It has been a hell of a ride.

 

[AB]

People in the media creamed themselves over Leeds losing 4-3 to this lot! We are properly Premier League.

 

[PhilE]

FIFTH on MOTD TONIGHT!!!

First.

 

[Dearden28]

Pure. F*ckin’. Heart!

YOU BEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

Our team spirit is absolutely amazing.

 

[Idaho Bee]

McManaman saying that this is the toughest attack Liverpool have faced this season!

He was right. Liverpool had conceded one goal all season and today they conceded 3.

 

[Idaho Bee]

Why has mbeumo got french socks on?

asking the real questions

 

[Indian Bee]

Absoutely HEROIC performance from the team. My voice is gone. One of the best games I have ever seen live. So f***ing proud of the team and the whole club. I honestly thought we won it at the end with that Toney disallowed goal. Going to open a bottle of Vodka now. What a match and so great to meet up with an old friend I haven't seen in over 15 years plus.

Finally the fans - what an atmosphere!!! Can't wait to rewatch it again.

 

[Silly Hat]

Klopp thinks we are a long ball team.

Utter delusional W anchor (Klopp, not you )

 

[moribee]

Proud. Not managed to see any hilites yet. Everything abuzz

 

[Beesmeister]

Raya - awesome today

 

[Pixelator]

I really don't get all this slagging off of Klopp, he kept repeating how much we deserved a point. If anything it's the Liverpool fans who should be pissed off with him, as he talked as much about Brentford as he did about Liverpool.

And so what if it wasn't 100% factual. Marcus Gayle didn't get all his Bees facts right either.

 

[IslandBee]

If we played it a bit longer than normal it was only because we knew Ivan had Virgil in his pocket!!!!

 

[rodders]

Bloody wonderful

 

[RAF_Patto]

Slightly terrifying Liverpool line up!

I agree; however, I genuinely think they've shown us a LOT of respect by playing their strongest team the weekend before a CL game.

 

[savvy 2210]

First big test against a ' big' team, came out rosy. No disrespect to Brighton ( I like Brighton ), the others can get stuffed. I can actually see Brentford challenging for a place in Europe competitions. The way they kept coming back, not giving up.This is Brentford init ? Now they are on the radar. A long way to go, but so far so good.

 

[Twickbee]

Amazing match. Mad to be there, with crazy celebrations.

So much so my little black travel card style wallet with credit cards and season ticket jumped out of my pocket.

If anyone in and around W233 picked it up please PM me!

 

[StreathamBee]

A year ago we drew 1-1 away at Millwall and were 10th in the championship. The best ever year I've had as a Bees fan, with stunning game after stunning game, and feeling like there is more to come. Lost for words

 

[Byond]

and we're soon going to have a full German international!

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1441849033677545475

the only german in the game deserves it

well done all at BFC
from the player's to the background stall

one hell of a game

 

[Brentford_till_die]

What excellent play from the free kick that led to our first goal.

 

[shaun]

Proud as f***.

 

[EarleyBee]

Fantastic result, Liverpool are one of best high pressing teams in the Premiership, so if you have the players to mix it up and go over the press then thats the obvious thing to day. Adapt your game to suit the opposition, well done TF. We'll no doubt adapt the strategy again next week against the Hammers. Come on you Bees!!!

 

[bostonhanwell]

That game will live long in the memory. These are great times!

 

[matt buzzbee]

 

[Beefletch]

What a super performance and thoroughly deserved result. I am so unbelievably proud of our club and all connected with it . Today confirmed what most of us already knew, that we fully deserve to be where we are and on our day can give anyone in this league a game . Long May it continue !

 

[halibutbee64]

Liverpool looked so fast coming forward but we more than matched them. Absolutely outstanding

 

[marvelous007]

....toe to toe with Liverpool FC.....mad..... emotional.

If that was a boxing match it would have been stopped at half time.

Eye of the .

 

[PDXUSA-Bee]

Awesome performance and EVEN BETTER DAYS ARE AHEAD! And the 83 year unbeaten streak vs Liverpool is deservedly intact.

 

[marvelous007]

My crowd prediction was (I think) 16,884.

Not too far away.

I got the score wrong at bees win 2 v 1.

But who cares?. We played the 6 times champions of Europe and went toe to toe with them.

 

[Balders Bee]

Klopp thinks we are a long ball team.

Today we were & it worked perfectly by passed their press & let Toney & Mbeumo terrorise their multi million pound defence. Fair play to TF for getting it tactically spot on.

 

[hanworthbee]

What a performance..never stopped trying ..

 

[N5022N122]

WOW.

 

[Dazza]

Only 1 win in 3 at home. Will never make the Champions League like that. #FrankOut

 

[grandad85]

Quite probably the best game I’ve seen live! We didn’t deserve to lose and right now it feels f***ing amazing

 

[mhead bee]

Tactically brilliant, playing out the back against the best pressing team on the planet would have been madness so we often lobbed it to IT who won 100% of the arias duals with the CB (Matip) and left BM to pick up the pieces and cause problems. Why VVD didn’t swap over I will never know.

Second half The CB was told not to jump, just wait for IT to leave the ground then push him in the back and take the ball, don’t worry Jergan has cleared it with the ref, he won’t give a single foul as long as he gets a signed scouse shirt at the end of the game.

Lots of chances both ends, Christ we looked like snatching it the last few minutes.

Nothing to be scared of, we have two of the best CB’s in the premier with Ethan and Ajer and Pontus is the leader we all wanted. I would argue we have the best keeper in the premier at the moment and one of the best left backs too, and sergi, wow, what you can say about him too.

The holding midfielders are also as good as any I have seen other than the phenomenal Kante and up top we have the biggest menace in the premier and a fantastic foil in BM.

This isn’t a fluke ,

 

[charliebee28]

Haven’t read through the comments but my word we were so impressive….so so proud my throat is sore I have a headache from all the chanting shouting etc…..the crowd we were brilliant loved dancing in the west stand at the end when they played free from desire …that is a banger of a dance tune but to see the crowd singing to it…awesomeness!!….after 30 years plus for me to see our club finally showing the world how good we are is amazing…oh and I do think the Liverpool players underestimated us and as for there fans …one of the biggest in the world well your support was embarrassing

 

[josht]

Jesus
f***ing
Christ

Anyone else only just about hold it together at full time?

We should've won it

 

[brentfordwannabee]

Bloody bonkers......

 

[SpeedyBee]

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere (or is in the wrong place) but came across this BS from the ‘Football Insider’ (also apologies as I can’t post the link from this mobile).

Article talking about BFC ‘cheat’ tactics and our ‘dubious game management’.

Apparently we’re under the spotlight of Premier League officials. May explain Atwell’s fussy performance - strange he didn’t do the same with Liverpool when they took their time over things. Hope our brilliant performance today stuffed that view right up their tailpipe.

Sources: Premier League to clamp down on Brentford 'cheat' tactics pre-Liverpool clash​

Brentford are coming under the spotlight of Premier League match officials for dubious game-management tactics ahead of tomorrow’s showdown against Liverpool, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.

 

[Stanley]

Pulsating stuff, just wow is all you can say.

And what a new stadium we have.
