Fucking dreadful result.

JUST LOOK AT THAT! why the fuck are 4 of our defenders all bunched in top of each other!?

My fucking god our defending. Unreal. Just fuck off.

HOLYYYYY THUNDERBOLT

HOWWWWWW That’s an absolute sitter for him.

We just look so ridiculously vulnerable with all the long balls and diagonals. I don’t get it, man.

Tosin, good lord. Look how slow he is in space!

We look dreadful from front to back. Being outplayed by fucking Brentford. This is all on Maresca, too

WTF ARE WE DOING

That’s twice now Gittens is caught offside on a simple pass out.

After the surprising starting place he was handed, I thought Facundo looked very good. No idea why we’ve taken him off. And now fucking George up top again 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Tosin is super solid in most circumstances and I really like him as a player but he’s got 2 very unfortunate weaknesses that are especially exposed against small teams like this who play on the counter. One is that his recovery pace is abysmal. Play a ball like Henderson just did over his shoulder to a fast attacker and he’s dead. Turns and runs like a giant cruise ship. And the other is that if he’s then isolated 1v1 against a fast attacker he doesn’t have the lateral quickness to deal with it well.

We finally start playing the ball around quicker AFTER conceding that shit goal. 🙄 Maresca really has to work on the team starting matches with far more intensity and a killer instinct. It’s like we always try to feel our way into a match slowly and it’s biting us in the ass in nearly every match thus far. These small teams like Palace, Brentford, Fulham WANT you to play slowly and keep everything in front of them. They cannot deal with big teams who play quickly and sharply so this is their tactic. And we have once again played right into their hands. Every side has done this to us this season.

They’re missing their 2 best current attackers, too. After being decimated in the summer.

Yet another poor start to a match this season. Palace, Fulham, West Ham, and now here.

Ridiculous that BOTH CB’s get caught out by that.

Fucking embarrassing.

Hato needs to sharpen up just like Gittens. This isn’t Ajax where you have forever on the ball. Getting caught on it repeatedly.

Brentford time wasting already, ffs

Far too slow in possession once again against a well organized defense.

Gittens is already looking like Mudryk 2.0 Looks in over his head and scared shitless.

Must win this one with the fixtures we’ve got coming up. Both for confidence/momentum and to keep up with the other big boys who will continue to win themselves. This isn’t close to the super dangerous Brentford from last season. And even today they’re starting without a couple of their current best players. Zero excuse whatsoever not to win this today.

not even on the bench

Well that sure is a surprising XI! I was saying when we announced the signing that we’d probably never see Buonanotte start a PL match for us and he starts the very first one 🤣🤣🤣 But please don’t tell me Estevão is fucking injured now too…

Yeah, I’m not annoyed at all that we sold him. Don’t and won’t regret it because he was so frustrating. What could end up bothering me is that the wide attackers we brought in to replace him may end up being even more frustrating than he was while Madueke thrives at a hated rival.
