Looks like the betting companies do know something we don't. Thought it was shocking Brentford we're favourites 

All betting companies know is what odds to set according to bets placed with them. Nothing more.

You laugh and whilst it's dramatic, I stand by it.  Olsen is that bad. 

Our play under Emery relies on building from the back Olsen can't do that. Throw in the fact he is a terrible shot stopper and we go from a world class keeper that breeds confidence in the whole team, to a liability that makes the defence doubt itself and gives us no option to build from the back. 

It's a world of difference. A competent backup keeper is an absolute must in the summer.

Brentford have played smart but it's dull as dishwater to watch.

Not sure about that. They’ve been very good today, much better than us. Fully deserve to be ahead. 

Don’t think one can understate how big Martinez going off was for us. No player wants Olsen in goal for them. Knew we’d lose as soon as it happened. 

Big game against Fulham!

Obviously we haven't played well today but Brentford are just a very good home side. There's a reason only Arsenal and Newcastle have beaten them there. 

Unfortunate after last week but we were going to receive a reality check at some point soon.

I'm perplexed by this performance after the Newcastle game. It's like Gerrard is in charge again :(

Brentford read the game plan and stifled the space in the middle of the pitch. Whilst we probably would have worked a way round it, the forced goalkeeper change ended any hope we have of keeping a clean sheet, and massively limited our ability to maintain possession.
