Awful performance, but fuck Brentford, no intention of anything except everyone behind the ball. Got what they deserved, a late loss.
That said, we have been worryingly poor this season and how we're top 4, let alone top of the league is way beyond me. Today we had last season's side with Rice replacing Xhaka, which is a huge upgrade, but we're playing like a different team...why?
We're desperate for a striker worthy of the name, because we ain't got it with Jesus and Eddie. Lovely ball in from Saka for the goal, but that apart, he was as poor as he's been of late. He and Gabi need to be taking full backs on as they used to, but I suspect they're told not to do so.
Odegaard continues to flatter to deceive. Can be mercurial when given time and space, but too easy to mark out of the game. As for the goalkeeping situation, fuck me!
Thought Tomi played very well and centre backs solid enough. Of course I'm glad that Havertz scored, but he offers fuck all in general and El Basque will use the goal to justify the signing and be telling us that this goal is what he can bring to the team.
Too laboured, too slow and lacking in ideas up front.
