So far so good, plenty of pressing and desire, if it clicks we could get a few.

No slip-ups at the other end please.

They bossed us a bit the first 15, but from then on we were clearly the better side.

Roberts, Raphinha, Kalvin, all playing very well.

Better as the half wore on, dominating by the end with Brentford offering little resistance.

Some good from Roberts, the goal was a good finish and a lovely cross later on which deserved better, plus a decnet shot (although he should have played Raph in tbh). Some bad, kicking the balls straight out of play and a shot going out for a throw is always embarrassing, but better tbf.

Not entirely sure whose playing where.

Cooper injury is sods law with Struijk seemingly injured again.

Firpo looking better .

Llorente looking calm.

Think the ref is useless, booked Goods for a decent challenge and called a foul for us aswell that wasnt.

In the end of yes very true, just a that time for a good few minutes it looked like even the players were confused.

That could be because footballers aren’t the brightest.

Steady enough that. Brentford started ok and then we dominated for a large part of that first half without really creating much. No point lobbing the ball into the box in the air keep it low just like Raph did for the goal. Roberts started and finished the move he's been excellent in that first half, even his booking was unjust as someone knocked him off balance.

I was a disappointed not to see big Charlie come on as a like for like instead of all the switching about again. Harrison didn't seem to know where he was going to be playing when he ran on the pitch. See how we go second half.

I know I can't count the number of times you have upheld him as a saviour. Your faith in him has finally paid off.

Not so good against a poor side. Worst opposition bar Watford.
