Mon 2 Jan 17:30 Brentford vs Liverpool

[Lee909]

Another 3pts 

 

Still need that midfielder 

[Creator Supreme]

27-0 to Brentford!

[niallers]

Tony was stretchered off near the end. Jarred knee apparently. Dunno how bad but that'll be a welcome bonus for us if he's out

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Didn't look good for Toney. Hope it's not serious, but just serious enough to miss our game.

[sir roger]

Just seen him being carried into the bookies by their physio.

[El Rojo]

We could badly do with Konate for this. 

[Trumo]

Fight. Organisation. Urgency. Ruthlessness. Poise. Up-tempo. Bravery. Skill.

 

I don't ask for much.

 

I didn't even know this one was a 5:30pm kick off until they mentioned it in the Leicester game. We may or may not have Gakpo available, but what we MUST have available is a defence and midfield that is switched on and aware of the movement and positioning of their opponents when we have the ball, but more importantly, when we DON'T have the ball. We have to start controlling games and not giving our opponents a sniff first and foremost, and then think about making and taking chances.

 

Brentford picked up a good win at West Ham, but let's start 2023 the right way with a solid and controlled performance along with the 3 points. Get it done.

 

Oh, and before it's pointed out, I know they don't play at Griffin Park any more!

 He should be available now?

 

Varane played for United the other night.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

This will be fucking hard, unless the Fabinho that returns from paternity leave is the 2019/20 version. They work like bastards and some of them aren't short on ability, either. Obviously, if Toney is missing, that would help us, but we're not short of injuries either.

 

If we play like we did tonight, we'll get dry-bummed - so let's not do that.

 

Just get these beat, Reds.

[an tha]

Konate was on bench tonight.

I'd be surprised if Firmino is fit.

Firmino quote

 

“I’m already healed, thank God. I’ll probably train tomorrow [Thursday].

“Then all being well I’ll be ready not for the next game [Leicester] but the one after that [Brentford]. So all great.”

If it is a choice between a half fit Bobby and Oxlade then it is Bobby every time.

 

We'll see how it plays out

The ITK'S have been less forthcoming on that

[suzy]

Be great if Bobby is back, really want Konate to start too.

[Bobby Hundreds]

They'll beat us because we are more than a bit shite. The way our midfield is I wish we could just play to our strengths have the midfield stay deeper closer to our defence and fill the gaping chasms we are leaving everywhere. If last night was just one of those games you could brush it aside and say we will do Brentford but we are repeating the same performance game after game.

 

We all have differing views though some are saying Elliot had a great game me I think he's neat and tidy but that's it his place in the side makes us a worse side. He's the least of the problems though.

[Daisy]

They are going to fucking bum the shit out of us, with or without Toney. 

 

Leicester are the worst team in the league at the moment and they should have beaten us. 

[Jurgen Knows]

They are one of the most aggressive teams in the league. Very energetic and physical. The type of team that can exploit our lethargic midfield. We need energy in this game. Hendo and Thiago will probably need a rest after last night. We’ll likely go with:

 

Keita-Fabinho-Elliott 

 

Fabinho needs to be at his best for this one.
