Can see Garnacho doing alright for us. It’s Gittens you want to worry about… seriously worry. Why the fuck are we playing Tyrique George as the striker in any game at all? That’s also very worrying.

In the end then my opinion is that the legacy the Kirk should be follow is that of debate. Weather I agree with his view point or not people should be able to do that. If we truly live in a free society people should voiced their opinions in a respectful manner and safe environment. As a Christian first I don't agree with all of Kirk views, he used to put his devotion to his political affiliation often time first and when you do that it will influence your ideas. If I had to weight into how much I agree and how much disagree I will say 70-30....it's made up just like that so I'm not sure. I can say what I don't agree with, as I stated before I don't agree that weapons is a god given right (this is core under the maga, right wing ideas). We shouldn't have that kind of power for the reason that according to the bible we are a falling race and people under those conditions can do scary stuff. Sin in the heart of man drives people to do crazy stuff. I can also say I don't like how he attacked immigrants at times, as well the bible speak about this that we should take care of the foreigners and treating them fair. Of course bad people can come in and we need to take care of ourself for that, but we should help people that really want to be here not criminalized them. Those are few things that I heard from him that I don't agree. Might be more if I take more time to listen him carefully. But this is my opinion after taking my time to listen carefully what he has to say, not depend on the opinion of some Journalist that write with a bias and thus might not be honest with the content they have as they will chose and pick what fits their agenda.

edit

we change a lot our line up If we puted a stronger team since the beginning, I think we would won it but with IT would be impossible to do that We are overload of games. Plus, we participated in CWC and we knew that would probably cost us this start of the season

If this were the Brentford of the last couple of seasons under Frank with Mbeumo, Wissa, etc running around I’d agree. But this Brentford side today were only going to cause us problems in one particular way and we played right into their hands. Sit deep, barely have any of the ball, long balls, long throws, and time wasting to frustrate us as early as the 30th minute in the game. To combat this you have to play it quicker and force them to defend relentless pressure.

I'd argue even without the Colwill injury, the club should have been in for a quality CB this summer. Clearly they are putting a lot of stock in Fofana and Badiashile..probably because no one else will buy the always injured pair. If neither of them are able to step up their game this season, it will be another mediocre ride.

What’s most frustrating is the CB situation. It was obvious to a blind man that our CBs aren’t good enough to win a title. Don’t tell me the ownership aren’t aware! That’s why when the window shut without getting a top CB I knew this ownership isn’t serious about winning the league. There is not one single argument to justify this obvious neglect. Such a slap in the face for players like Palmer who aren’t being backed properly with surrounding ballers. instead the board only care about future sales… which is obviously bizarre when you do dumb buys like Mudryk and Gittens.

Weren’t complaining at the time when we were winning all those trophies and signing top top players, where you? I don’t think anyone was or would be in all honesty. Saying “ah so its ok to cheat” after everything Roman did for the club is also a bit ridiculous and ungrateful no? Taking the moral high ground at any level - be it the new owners all the way down to fans - is a bit daft now because it’s happened, nobody really knew, now we do. Even BlueCo have done some questionable things since taking over. Like Radcliffe at United also. Look at City also with their charges…. Footballs a business, business is shady. Who said anything about taking titles…. These charges aren’t for match fixing….

you need to put some context. brentford was away and nottm was at home. but yeah this is a shit result Im not having too much hope for this season. I think will be more of the same

Not getting wins against shit teams like this just puts even more pressure on us against the big sides like Man United next in the league. Same bullshit that we’ve been suffering from for years now and we had hoped would be different this season considering the ridiculous resources we’ve poured into the attacking areas. It genuinely hasn’t felt like our entire attack has clicked at the same time as a unit at all so far this season. We’ll have 1 attacker look good and the rest all look bang average. You watch Arsenal today for example against a Forest side that are much better than the Brentford side we played. From minute 1 they completely strangle Forest like a python and don’t even give them a chance. Aggressive, assertive attacking play that doesn’t give them an ounce of belief that they can beat Arse. They’re demoralized almost right after kickoff. Meanwhile, in match after match to start this season what do we do? Play at literal walking pace slowly passing it about at the back and deep between the midfielders for pretty much the entire first halves of all these games. It isn’t until AFTER we concede a dogshit, schoolboy level goal or we reach half time that we pick up the pace of our game. Maresca is really irritating me these days.

Putin's bitch Trump Backs Off Promise to Sanction Russia and Again Blames Zelensky for Invasion https://time.com/7317021/trump-sanctions-russia-ukraine-oil/ President Donald Trump appeared to back off a promise to sanction Russia for its refusal to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine on Saturday, announcing stringent new conditions on his own allies before he will take action. Trump has repeatedly threatened to punish Russia with new sanctions if it refuses to reach an agreement with Ukraine, but has failed to follow through as Moscow has ignored several deadlines. Now, Trump says he will only sanction Russia when all NATO countries stop buying oil from Russia and place sweeping tariffs on China—measures that are unlikely to be met Read More: Trump Says He Will Sanction Russia After Putin Launches Largest Air Attack of the War “I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA,” Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday morning in what he said was a letter to the international alliance and the world. “As you know, NATO’S commitment to WIN has been far less than 100%, and the purchase of Russian Oil, by some, has been shocking.” NATO member Turkey is Russia’s third largest importer of oil—behind China and India— according to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. In Trump’s post, he called on NATO to follow his aggressive tariff agenda and place 50% to 100% tariffs on China for its purchasing of Russian oil, which he says would be lifted at the end of the war between Russia and Ukraine. “China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia, and these powerful Tariffs will break that grip,” the letter reads, stating tariffs on China would “be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR.” As he has in the past, Trump blamed former President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "This is not TRUMP’S WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s WAR. I am only here to help stop it," he wrote. The letter comes after Russia last week launched its largest air assault of the war since the country invaded Ukraine in 2022—an assault that included over 800 strike drones and resulted in multiple casualties. Soon after the assault, Trump was asked outside the White House by reporters if he was ready to impose a second round of sanctions against Russia following the attack, to which Trump said: “Yeah, I am.” Moscow responded swiftly after Trump’s threats of sanctions, with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov telling reporters Monday that Western sanctions have “no effect” and that “sanctions are the agenda supported by the Kyiv regime and European countries.” Trump has consistently threatened sanctions against Russia throughout his first nine months in office in order to get President Vladimir Putin back to the negotiating table. Trump’s Alaska meeting with his Russian counterpart last month resulted in no formal agreement or any discernible progress towards one. Since then, Trump says he has been trying to negotiate a meeting between Putin and Zelensky, which would be the first since the war began. The European Union is currently drafting and set to roll out its 19th round of sanctions against Russia in the coming days, and has announced its plans to phase out Russian oil by 2028. Still, members Hungary and Slovakia are importers of Russian oil. The call to NATO comes a few days after 19 Russian drones crossed into Polish airspace, a sharp escalation by Russia that NATO countries had described as a dangerous violation. “What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones? Here we go!” Trump had reacted on Wednesday morning on Truth Social, although he later told reporters that the incursion might have been a “mistake.” U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent joined a virtual G-7 economics meeting on Friday with the world’s top finance ministers, who are looking to increase economic pressure on Russia. In the meeting, Bessent reiterated Trump’s call for allies to impose tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil.

Adjusts to the PL? The lad is English he should be used to and know what to expect from the pace of the English game. He had 3 seasons in the Bundesliga? Ok PL is different at first team level quality wise but we aren’t talking someone who’s never kicked a ball never been exposed to English football at any level…. he was miles off it. Maybe adjust to his new team mates is a better excuse to make for him. The defending on several occasions tonight with 4 CBs starting effectively (Hato can be either CB or LB) was laughable. Obviously Brentford are no push overs at all, even with the xhange in coach and loss of players, a tough team who know how to get results but we made it very easy for them to utilise their gameplan. The less said about Tosin all night the better. Chalobah very poor for the second goal and Garnacho just doing what all attackers do in that situation - stand watching their marker score the easiest goal of their life. Fernandez-Caicedo combination again without the ball…. too much space for teams to expose. Brentford will be the first of many to do this to us again this season. Clear game plan orientated around being physical, going more direct, utilising long throw ins etc. And some of the big teams now utilise these tactics to get an advantage, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool… so we need to wake up. Why Maresca keeps fucking around with starting Reece then not starting and bringing him on at HT is absolutely mind boggling too.

What a terrible result. Why did we bring Guiu back if he can't even make it onto the bench? Plus, George just isn't good enough! He was practically gone, and now he's playing here again, mainly as a striker instead of Guiu. Terrible.

Results like that are hard to take. I thought it would be a repeat of our first visit to Brentford in the Prem (or at least in recent history) where Mendy was immense. Sanchez saved us multiple times tonight but poor marking for that final throw in was the difference. Moments like that could prove vital for a Top 4 push or an outside hopes of competing for the title.

Draw sometimes away from home it is not the end of the world but hurts a little bit cuz was against a poor team but this stadium its historical tough for us Plus, this game after IT was a total banana skin

Not with the current backline. And certainly not without Colwill. With all the UEFA FFP constraints it was going to be tough to bring in a quality CB this summer. Should have got rid of Disasi and others a while ago, and invested in real quality instead of just filling in the squad with numbers.

As I said, no way we can fight for the title. top4 and thats it

Not that hard to chuck the ball 30 or 40 yards with a run up and one foot off the ground

if we ignore that its his fault that we conceded the second goal, then sure.

horrid CB play all game

I post articles that I agree with and I also give my own opinion

They almost scored twice from long throws, so please give them another opportunity to score...

They did deserve something from it I guess and we generally dont win against Brentford these days...but to be so close makes it worse.

Yeah the back line is problematic. If it weren't for Maresca, the club would probably be still thinking of Disasi as a solution. Just like they think Fofana and Badiashile are viable options. All 3 CBs proving to be disastrous buys.

The problems were obvious against West Ham..they were obvious against Fulham. So frustrating
