Did we though? We weren't great at all but Kasper had very little to do. I think they edged it in terms of the game as a whole but we had our own chances and were the better team in the second half. Let's be honest, it was a shite game.Decent result but got away with one there.
Evans was hopeless in the first half and for the first 10 minutes of the second. He was much better after that and I agree that he did well in keeping the discipline of the backline. I would argue that Amartey was our best defender today even though that feels like an impossibility. He made some good passes out of defence and a couple of very good interceptions.Fabulous week. Three wins, ten goals, several of which were outstanding.
Credit to the team for digging in today against a side that were clearly much fresher. Evans marshalled the defence superbly.
I still think Brentford are shit. Loads of huffing and puffing and very little actual quality.
Soyuncu was on a hiding to a second yellowGreat stuff! it's that sort of win we need to grind out until we have a full squad of Ndidi, Fofana and Justin available. Just like last year - as other clubs begin to accumulate injuries over christmas we will be back to nearer full strength and hopefully kick on. There won't be too many games in the legs of Barnes and Lookman either.
Enjoyed that just as much as any game where we are bossing it. Brentford are a good side and gave Chelsea a hell of a game last time - putting way more pressure on them than we had to endure in the second half.
Thought Tielemans, Soumare, Evans and Amartey were our best.
Castagne, Ricardo, Soyuncu strangely subdued and off the pace - perhaps the ong russian journey didn't do us any favours.
Agree completely. I think both styles cancelled each others threats out and we made the most of our chancesDid we though? We weren't great at all but Kasper had very little to do. I think they edged it in terms of the game as a whole but we had our own chances and were the better team in the second half. Let's be honest, it was a shite game.
