Match Thread Brentford v Leicester

[bocadillo]

Definite yellow. No doubt about it at all. Did you not see it properly?

I'm not sure the ref saw it. He seemed to be taking the advice of the assistant.

 

[popillius]

You've already proved that you're not watching properly.

Watch it again. It's an easy save until it hits Dewsbury-Hall and then he's got no chance.

Like I say, you absolutely don’t write that if it’s Ward.

 

[Orifice]

'If the Foxes concede one more, they will drop into the bottom three below West Ham on goal difference.'

 

[Brown Nose]

Is Maddison up front or is it Daka? Neither are applying any pressure

I think it's quite obvious that Maddison is unfit to play. When asked, Rodgers has simply said that Maddison is 'declaring himself fit'.

He just isn't moving freely and so is half the player. It's a sad reflection that he's still the first name on the team sheet despite this.

 

[Brown Nose]

I've given Ward a pass over loads of goals this season. There have been so many errors though that I appreciate why it may seem that I've picked on him.

He is also not captain material.

The replay from the other angle clearly showed the deflections, Iversen had already dived, he didn't have time to adjust. Not his fault.

 

[TommyK]

Build up has been good by us.

Just lacking that final ball.

 

[homer]

Three hopeless twonks up front, and Maddison doesnt even look half fit

We know how this ends

 

[Brown Nose]

You might as well give the arm band to a ball boy for all the difference it makes with this squad.

It just sets the tone. Another gutless performance.

 

[Singapore Fox]

It’s a good job we’ve got Souttar. The rest are a bunch of lightweights

 

[londonfox]

Looking forward to the second half… where we’re always better and regularly go on to get an equalizer and a then a winner.

Nothing much between the two sides apart from confidence and clarity of organisation.

I can't criticise anyone but nobody has stepped up either.

A word on Tete. From the videos of him before joining, he appears to be at his best when running with the ball. However, we know that Rodgers doesn't really like anyone doing that apart from Barnes. He screams at players to pass rather than retain possession themselves. I wonder what's the point of that sort of wide player if we don't utilise his main strength?

As an aside, it is also Soumare's best quality but we never see him do it because he's not allowed to.

 

[homer]

Jammy deflected goal, but dear me, our defending for that whole move was awful

Daka and Tete utterly ****ing pointless and hopeless
Maddison way off the pace
Not a single shot on target. Again

 

[popillius]

Appalling from start to finish. Castagne and Souttar doing their best to keep us in it but the rest of them are truly dreadful, no one more so than Daka who is a complete waste of space.

 

[Payne74]

Maddison and Daka need to come off one is unfit and the other is clueless

 

[TommyK]

Build up has been ok. Lacking any cutting edge whatsoever.

Richardo has been caught out numerous times by Henry. Brentford are only coming down that side.

We've been quite neat and tidy in procession.

BN, you fool!

You don’t play to a player’s strengths. They adapt to the will of the manager.

C’mon now.

I don't think we have been as bad as is being made out on here.

They have looked more creative but we are still well in this.

Ricardo needs to keep in his RB position better as he is far too often drifting inside and leaving far too much space.

Can't blame KDH for the goal but I feel we would look so much better with Tielemans playing instead if he was available.

Barnes needs to learn a trick to try and beat a player.

Iversen was unlucky for the goal after the replays, can't blame him for that and the same would be said if it was Ward in goal.

Wilf has looked good and much more like his old self.

We just really need to make sure we don't concede an early second half goal as that has become a recent bad habit - avoid that and we are still well in this for the last 30 mins.
