Our finishing is woeful.

Arne need to shuffle the cards. Lucho as a cf doesnā€™t work against teams defending in low blocks. We are not playing Spurs every week who leaves acres of space.

Weā€™ve been the better team (again) without creating too many chances. We need to score on the ones we create.

Not too shoddy but could do with more inventive corners and clinicality

Played alright in general I thought, but the Diaz at 9 experiment should probably end now.

VPN geo to USA. Thatā€™s what I would do if I hadnā€™t have flown to Red Lodge last night. Ahem.

Not exactly laboured, just lacking PENETRATION up front.

Is Danns on the bench? If he is we should use him. We need a proper CF up there.

Poor finishing. Decent half. Gapko should have scored

Looking at the CF issue, the one that can score is somewhat always absentā€¦The one that is always present (Diaz) cannot score consistentlyā€¦The one who is supposed to be the leading CF (Nunez) is always on the bench for not scoring ordinary goalsā€¦

We got too many players who thrive on the left wing but cannot do it in the middle like that fucker who signed 9 years extension in Manchesterā€¦

Gakpo shouldā€™ve got it hard and driven it though the keeperā€™s legs when receiving the Salah pass, rather than trying a cute finish. That was our best chance.

Limited Brentford to just one chance. Ref allowing Brentford to take an age at the goal kicks.

Dom with a good hit off the crossbar. If we get a goal, itā€™ll probably open the gates to a bigger score.

I actually thought Diaz was moving well but wasnā€™t tidy.

They had one or two looks, we had four or five. We were well on top, but as yet could not find the breakthrough.

Itā€™s a Premier League game against a solid mid to upper mid table team, who have an excellent home record. Factor in that teams around that level also raise their game when the likes of Liverpool come to town, and it was always going to be tough.

Ideally we would be ahead, but on the positive side, we have not conceded an early goal either, which has been a bit of a habit we have not quite shaken off.

Iā€™m backing Slot to tweak it a little at half time and we will look better again.

My hope is to see Darwin come off the bench to score a goal to boost his confidence and help us get the three points. A confident Nunez will be a great asset for the rest of the season.

Chill out. Half time away at a tough opponent. Game on!

We look like we have lost our mojo againā€¦is this now officially a slump?

Can we just increase our intensity and forget about the slow steady Slot ball in the second half please

I need @cynicaloldgit to tell me about that fairytale 2-0

Never saw that first half comingā€¦

9 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses when weā€™ve gone into HT. Needs to improve if we want to win this title.

Unless of course others donā€™t improve too

Iā€™m sure that Arne and his team will know the personnel, formation and tactics to see us through this game. COYR YNWA :+1: :nerd_face:
