The Bonk

He's been decent, can look shaky on the ball, but was quite purposeful in creating that goal. Shame it hit his arm slightly.

Like they tried to improve on Steve Buscemi but couldn't get the DNA mix sorted.

Oh fuck off

Get in!!!! What a move.

Cooper has the best facial expressions.

Aye, they're still having a go and not hanging their heads which tends to happen after conceding a goal like that.

They didn't.

WOW!!!!!!

I guess it will depend on sentiment around the club, fans, if they're relegated by Christmas, but I don't see it. Hopefully they are out of the drop zone by then and Kompany can continue to build what he's started.

I think it's part of the game, but like all things, weaker teams exploit it. I don't think we should be shit housing as much as we've done, but I suppose it's got us Champions League.

Hope they pick up points and Burnely aren't daft by doing something stupid like firing Kompany. He's got them playing decent stuff, they just need more experience.

Compared to yesterday's snoozefest, this game is end to end and fairly entertaining.

Let Burnely gain some confidence, but credit to them, they've been good the last 15min.

He's locked in, love to see it. I noticed in the Bretford Match Cam video there was no pre-game footage. Wonder if Eddie had them back off to keep the lads focused on getting the 3pts.

The only humorous element is the fact someone printed that and brought it with them.

He's already shredded at 20, think there's a photo of him earlier in the thread looking the business, but I agree with you. He'll fill out a bit more and be harder to move off of the ball when in possession. I can't remember the last time we had such promising youngsters amongst our homegrown ranks. I guess Stephen Taylor and Andy Carroll are the extent of anything "PL Level" the academy produced under Ashley. Which is a miracle given the lack of investment.

These lads, man. Love having so many quality players who are humble, but confident rather than obnoxious or arrogant. ❤️

My guy is about to go God Mode on these fools.

Everton will run out of gas and Arsenal will coast to a 2 or 3 nil win.

Watched the game back this morning after knowing the result (turned off all notifications bar YouTube ). Objectively, we were better than some have given us credit for. First half was a slog, but Brentford do that to most teams in the top half. I’m impressed how they’ve adjusted without Toney. Wissa and Mbuema are pretty good together, quite threatening when given an opportunity. Thought we edged them first half and we were unlucky not to be up by a goal at the half. Would have loved Bruno’s header to have gone in for the lads confidence. Regardless, thought he had a good game, threaded some lovely passes, was decent in retaining the ball. Gordon was awesome, imposing most of the first half and helped see out the win second half. Barnes was quality too, we’re blessed with options on the wing. Think Isak would have got on the end of those crosses that came in from the flanks. Anyways, effective and gutsy win against a tricky team in Brentford. So excited for our return to the big stage this week, glad we’re going to Milan on a positive note. HWTL!

Everton are a nice reminder of where we used to be. Hopeless, they look as shite as we did the takeover season. 1 or 2 moments of attacking intent, praying something happens by fluke. The other 85mins spent parked in their own half.

Barf

Immense for both goals

Liverpool comeback and taxes.

I mean, his bench attacking players are insane and some of the most elite players in the game. Klopp is good, though, able to adjust tactics quite effectively as we found out.
