I'm delighted by that. Two fortunate goals for Brentford with the penalty (yes it was a penalty but it was such a light touch) and the deflection. We looked good in possession but just need some quicker link up player up top to make space and use those extra runners from midfield and full backs.
I'm going to say the defence was the best part today. They were brilliant. I genuinely only had a few shit my pants moments, which is a huge upgrade on last season. Last season they collapse.
Vic 6 - that's a keeper desperate to make an impression. Needs to calm down.
Royal - 8 - he is settling in for his new RB/CM role, and he looks confident doing it. Well taken goal too.
Romero - 8 - only short time but looked more composed
Sanchez - 7 - for a player that was ruined by Conte and the WHL faithful, that was a very good performance. People questioning his passing choices, he picked out his players and kept it simple (5th highest number of touches on the pitch?) and made a fantastic challenge to prevent another goal. People need to stop making him the scapegoat. He keeps going and building his confidence, he is a good 3rd choice.
VDV 7 - would have been an 8 but I think he committed a sin not once scanning to see Mbuemo had pulled away. One look and he never slides in to block. But the lad is quick.
Udogie - 8 - what a f'in player. He is a beast.
Kulu /Son / Richy - 6 - they weren't bad but they need to quickly adapt to playing possession football again.
Bissouma - 9 - was superb. A few times he was jogging back which annoyed me but it was like watching Dembele today.
Madisson - 8 - was brilliant on the ball. Who would have guessed having a real attacking midfielder would help!!!
Ange - 8 - 5th game? Turned us around quick. No way we close to finding rhythm yet. Didn't want him to begin with but if he carries on like this and we get more confident, we could be really good. Rated him for listening to the players when they called about Romero head injury.
