We're being over run in midfield again, no surprise as it's just Stach and Ampadu.. I hate this 523

This formation made us look solid last season.

No idea what we've done in pre season but total opposite since.

Spaces between players is all over the place.

We played three centre mids last season with Okafor as a 10... Aaronson/Okafor and DCL offer very little in defence

Aaronson ineffective at the minute.

If Longstaff is the answer it's a daft question

Very poor Aaronson, no first touch at all and loses it outside our box

He needs to help Amps and Stach but that will leave us light in attack.
It’s a tough one πŸ€”

Need to bolster the midfield, they are going right through us. Longstaff for Aaronson maybe? Or take a striker off, we aren’t going to score.

Best we can do is produce 50 50 balls.

Lets hope Brentford run out of gas

That was a big opportunity and no one gambled on the end of it. Then straight down the pitch for a corner.
