Whitley mag Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Would be happy with Almiron on the left side for this, hopefully he’s straining at the leash to impress. His time under Benitez on the left side was undoubtedly his best period at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never takes his man on or looks to pass forward or get a cross. Wasn’t his position under Rafa, a 2 behind Rondon playing alongside Perez? He has almost always been poor playing in wide areas. Assuming ASM and Fraser are out. There isn’t really any other option other than shifting Willock or Joelinton out wide, mind. Or a complete formation change.

Aye, Joelinton wide left and bring in Bruno would be a good option. I thought towards the end of Rafa’s reign Almiron was playing wide left when we started to look good with Rondon and Perez.

I’m not sure I’d want to shift Joelinton or Willock out of the middle the more I think about it. So hopefully Fraser is fit. Not looking positive for ASM, though. Just highlighting possible options and it is a way of getting a look at Bruno from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving Joelinton from the one position where he actually works absolute madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Almiron used to make a lot runs in behind the defence quite frequently and I think he still could be effective if we actually look to set up in that way. I’d like to see Bruno play and we look to distribute the ball along the ground into space behind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Really hope we just make them feel uncomfortable as hell. Don't let settle and start to feel better after the slump they've been on. Get in their faces, don't give them any time on the ball. If we get one early they could collapse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillingtonMag Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 We've said it a lot this season but this game really is absolutely massive like win and we're looking really good, lose and we are back In the shit and possible back in the bottom 3.

Bimpy474 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Why an earth put Joelinton out left when he's been brilliant in the middle of the park, he should move nowhere. If it means Bruno still doesn't start, so be it. We've been playing well, winning and there's no need to disrupt the middle of park, usually where you win and lose games.

NE27 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Feel so robbed that we have Wilson/Trippier/ASM out currently like. Pretty rank set of injuries that. But the lads proved against West ham that they can still function as a team and grind a result, against a better side than Brentford. Just got to cross everything and hope it goes right on the day. 0-1 BIG JOW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Didn't know these lot played a few days ago against Rangers? Ericksen getting some time, and two assist for him, for both the Brentford goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw something on twitter about him being alright that night then watched the game on DVR and holy fuck was that bad. Had no idea, I thought he messed up a knee by the tweet, not almost died.

toontownman Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The Eriksen effect could be huge for Brentford. Let's hope he isn't fit enough for Saturday somehow. It will give them and the crowd and huge lift for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
