Brentford have the best defence in the championship this year and the best goal difference, when Smith was there it was a different story. We let in so many soft goals and that doesn't look like stopping.
I don't dislike him but his team's are too easy to play against and yesterday's performance was pathetic. When grealish looked dangerous he got fouled by a city player, when de bruyne looked dangerous we stood off him rather than fouling him. We are too soft and it's not just the likes of man city that are taking advantage, Watford destroyed us a few weeks ago because they were fired up while we just looked shell shocked for the whole game.
Playing Drinkwater stunk of desperation to me, to rely on him while taking into account how his career has gone the last few years was crazy. I don't see how things are going to improve as it currently stands and if we stay up I'll be amazed.
