Lol what?  Been class on counter attack.

 

 Class? Ok

 

they are just a physical direct side. Us trying to play a high line with the lack of pace we have in the backline isn’t helping mind. 

[mush]

I wouldn't even mind that being given as a pen if we'd also been given that one on Shar against Man United

[ChrisMcQuillan]

Is Joelinton on a yellow? Peacock stated he was, but can't see it anywhere else - and didn't see the ref card him.

[Aiston]

Get Murphy off, offered absolutely nothing. Gordon on.

 

But nope, will be no changes until 65 minutes.

[SUPERTOON]

Feels like a long way back based on that half.

[simonsays]

I will still never understand how it can take more than a minute to see a clear and obvious error.  If it takes more than that then it isnt either

[Ikon]

Have had enough warnings now to wake up.

We are lucky it’s only 1 tbh 

 

It should only be 1, tbh. First was way off, second was legit third was bullshit.

[Dyeyzzon]

That second pen was soft as you like but can't argue with the scoreline. We've been woeful.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

A team set up quite well to deal with us. They don’t hold the ball in the final third. Can challenge aerially high up the pitch and have quick strikers, mobile midfield for the second ball. 

[Kaizero]

Also, I am of the opinion that Brentford have been really good at shutting our style of play down more than we've just outright been shit. Credit where credit is due, I'm not a fan of just saying "we've been shit", when in reality, we've been made to look shit by someone else playing well.

We need changes at half-time, we can’t wait until 60 minutes and waste more time.

[Guest reefatoon]

Currently looking exactly like a team playing its third game in 6 days. We look fucking knackered. 

[Lenny]

Really poor performance, that. Very, very passive.

Too slow too predictable and too sleepy.

Yeah dodgy pen decision aside we’ve been pretty woeful. Not terrible but toothless going forward.

 

Can’t stand Toney

Three minutes added time when weve had two a goal overuled by VAR, a penalty given by VAR and another penalty. Shite.

 

Seems absolutely mad. Probably for the best like given how poor it’s been. Everyone looking a yard off and we’ve let them dictate how the game is being played.

3rd minute or something daft

The bloke ran into Isak's foot, for me. Nowhere near head height, so can't see why that's been given at all

err.. you dont need to kick someone in the head to be rewarded a foul

Isak missed the ball totally and kick him in the. stomach, it is a pen. It should be a pen for Schar last game too

Possibly the worst half of football that I've watched since Bruce was in charge.  Absolutely dreadful stuff.

We’ve been atrocious. Really poor.

 

Too many players in that lineup who *should* be out of their depth away to Brentford, in fairness.

Agree with this. 

[Kanj]

Absolute farce. Next time I play football I’m going to dive at a players foot with my head in the box and hope that I get the same mockery of a call 

[Zero]

Schars head got hit and no pen. Why would this one be a pen then?

[clintdempsey]

Can’t lie - I’m actually fuming about this performance. We haven’t been this wank in a long time. The pen could have gone either way and can’t be too pissed off about it when we show this little determination and fight. 

[Tiresias]

they're just fucked from 2 big performances in a week, still plenty of time to find something in the tank

Well you can argue with the scoreline because only actual goals should be included.
