    Is that not a really good return for Brentford? They just got promoted to the PL and they don't have a big budget. Just over a point per game is PL safety. I would suspect everyone at Brentford and all Brentford fans are very happy with that 

    Well yeah but they are only one bad run from being sucked into a relegation battle.

    Table doesn't tell the whole story at the moment. We have no idea how it will look once teams starts playing their games in hand.

    To me we only look good under Gerard when we are playing at 100mph. For example after the 2nd utd goal yesterday.

    Sure Martinez dropped a clanger yesterday - but Gerard was correct was correct when he said the bigger issue was the whole team starting slowly - thus inviting pressure.

    I'm not really seeing a style of play or even team shape tbh. Poor as Everton are - it's difficult to see a villa clean sheet there.

    We only look good when we have something to chase.

    How about playing with that intensity from minute one?

    Bailey isn't an old fashioned winger that just stays out wide, those kind of wingers barely exist these days, most play more like inside forwards, which is how Bailey plays and as such is perfectly suitable for Gerrard's system. Ryan Kent isn't a no.10, he's a winger and played every game when fit for Rangers when Gerrard was their manager, Bailey is a similar type of player, so no reason why he won't be used often for us in the front three.

    So far Gerrard as used, Watkins, Jacob Ramsey, Young, El Ghazi, Trezegue, Chukwuemeka, and Ings as wide forwards/No.10s, pretty confident that if Bailey had have been available he would have been in the team ahead of all of them, not because he's better per se but because he's better suited to that particular role.

    Bailey needs space to take advantage of his explosiveness.

    A lot of teams in the Bundesliga plays with high lines so he is more suited to play in that league.

    I think it's a similar situation to Sancho. I'm not sure they will succeed in this league.
