5 for Longstaff....??? Other than the last-minute slip, he was good. broke up the play and covered the defence. We looked far less open in the middle and I'd say that's massively to do with his covering...

Longstaff was awful. Got caught on the ball at least 3-4 times and they got a decent counterattack for it. Didn't offer a lot going forwards.

And Frank's gonna get fined.

[et tu brute]

Anyone else think Thomas Frank is a right prick

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Nothing special, but got the win, all that matters. Milan getting a right honking off Inter in their derby before our match makes this a good night all-round.

He hooks his arm before the punch as shown here. What’s wrong with a still image?

Maybe I need to see it again. 

 

Nowt wrong with a still image in context, it was clear he hooked his arm though, I don't think that was the issue.

 

If it was before (or during) the pubch it's an obvious foul, aye.

We have a fantastic stadium according to Frank, but our fans affect decisions.

We didnt bring on our 60m striker so he cant complain about that this time

I think this evening was a glimpse of what we’ll see this season with the extra CL games coming up. 5 changes and a couple of the big guns rested. The opening 20 minutes aside, we controlled most of the play but it was fairly edgy with just the one goal lead. The more minutes we get in the legs of Anderson, Longstaff and Barnes the better as they’re going to have a major role this season.

For someone that apparently can't dribble, I thought Barnes looked canny on the ball as well.

 

I really liked Barnes today. Put in some great deliveries and doesn't give the ball away in build up play.

 

Brentford packed their box with 8 men and their 3 centre backs cleared everything aerially so it was tough.

 

We need to work on better combinations to break down that sort of setup. It's the hardest thing to do in football though.

Pen was a right call, and Wilson clearly fouled the keeper. Was holding his arm when GK tried to punch. Good calls both of them.

 

 

I though it was just me that felt that way.

[Holloway]

Wilson reminded me of Mayweather in that little skirmish, he's a sly little cunt

A few beers in and corrected as soon as I’d typed ??

The 'foul' on the keeper isn't a foul if it's on an outfield player. Its a soft as fuck decision

[Menace]

Having just watched Milan's highlights. We can do them over.

[nemtizz]

Our midfield still looks dreadful with and without the ball.

Was next to a blind woman in the Leazes

 

Weird to think all she was experiencing was the sounds 

 

Anyhow, scrappy game, still not playing well, but a win was all that mattered and we got it, so let’s crack on from here and enjoy the taste of Europe  

 

Have you ever seen a makem in Milan

Pata as much as agree a lot about reg decisions I'm not sure about this one.

What was her view on the disallowed goal?  Same as @Pata I imagine

I think it's clear the goalie missed his punch due to Wilson hooking his arm. Only noticed it after the fourth replay myself, thought it was the one good decision Pawson made all night.

Will watch it again as I was in a pub.

Shay Given looks great for 47.

Most people think he looks about 30. 

[Deuce]

3 points, that’ll do.

Oh yeah he can absolutely get to fuck with his exaggerated facial expressions pre-match. He was lucky his team didn’t lose 3-0. Just as much of a whinger as Klippity is.
