Sorry Ollie, still don't want you near them. I'd be comfortable with any of Digne, Pau, Carlos, Tielemans, McGinn or JJ taking one. If we're a couple of goals up, I'd like Martinez to have a crack at it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just that, they're also clearly under instruction to play at about half a normal match speed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancvillan Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 At home this season they're 3 wins 3 draws, 2 losses. Away we're 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. We've played three of the top seven teams, they've played two (loss against Arsenal and draw with spurs). So pretty similar and they're missing a lot of key players. Think we win this but doubt it'll be one to watch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 15, 2023 Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2023 The next four games could define our season - this one is a potential banana skin, even with their injuries, a win here would be excellent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid you are right we won’t have anywhere near a competitive starting line up untill February.I doubt if Toney will now be sold in January.Villa will be odds on by KO Sunday with the bookies and they are a good barometer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 We've struggled at their new ground like we used to struggle at the old Griffin Park in the Championship days, would be nice to finally win there on Sunday. PL teams at home won't do it and Brentford with Frank in charge certainly aren't about this at all but I think opposition teams would have more joy against us if they sat back with a low block and looked to hit us on the counter like Forest and Mostar twice rather than coming at us and playing into the hands of the famous offside trap.

People of his character don’t think like that,he’s been fawning over Arsenal for the last 6 months was hoping he would be gone with a nice wedge of money coming our way in January but expect with our injury problems that won’t happen.

Rodders Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Won't be easy, and one hopes we can remain fluid without Luiz in there, but has the feel of a fairly ordinary 1-0 type game. Which I would take. Backing up the wins over City and Arsenal is really important so I think we'll be quite aggressive early on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warning signs will be levelled by their coaches...."if you're not on it, they will blow you away" We have to be ready, away from home, to play some "containing football"....and weather the physical onslaught and partisan crowds. And let's have it right, just like Bournemouth, we've never looked overly comfortable playing Brentford away. A draw wouldn't surprise me in the least. Really hope I'm wrong, nothing helps the weekend like 3 points. Come on me Babbys! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can more or less predict, what teams will pose us difficulties....Brentford pretty well have an identity, of being physical. I don't want us to change our style,far from it....but I would like to see, maybe an addition to come in to the squad, whoc could help us with those type of teams. We saw the difference how a motivated John McGinn effected us last night, but he can't do it every game on his own, he needs some help with it.....I would still like to see a durable midfielder come in with the obvious talent to Boot. Our team now, cannot function without fleet footed footballers,now, so to find one with steel too, is hard, I know....but I think we need one more...a Gareth Barry type.

ferguson1 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) This won’t be easy but Brentford will be missing a lot of quality on Sunday, as definitely out for them will be (Toney, Mbeumo, Schade, Henry, Hickey, Ajer,) and possibly still out (Collins, Jensen and Dasilva). So I think we have a real opportunity here. Martinez Konsa Carlos Pau Moreno Kamara Tielemans Bailey McGinn Diaby Watkins Subs: Marschall, Cash, Lenglet, Chambers, Dendoncker, Ramsey, Zaniolo, O’Reilly, Duran I’m going with an away win but perhaps a tight 1-2 win.
