Richarlison is working hard, but he's not in the game. The front 3 need to do more, imo
Love it mate.That was exactly what we should have expected from a half where: we have a new manager, new system, multiple debuts, lose our main CB early. Plenty to work on but plenty of positives.
We’ve played without much contribution from our front three and Skipp really. So plenty of room to improve.
Was about to say this.Who needs Harry when we've got, checks notes, Royal.
I heard him scream ‘quicker!’ Earlier. I think the play is a little ponderous. Perhaps because of the way Brentford are set up but it’s very frustrating at the moment.For those saying Ange needs to rip them one at HT. Personally at this stage I think it would be counterproductive. Ange needs to reaffirm what he wants from them but having a go may just go the other way.
I think there were moments in the ref affected spell where we might have gone away from Ange's forward instructions. But we recovered that lateFor those saying Ange needs to rip them one at HT.

I’d wait. But then I’m just a clueless guy sitting in the pub.Would you make any changes or wait 15 mins?
I think if I was Ange and nothing has changed at around 60 mins then I would have Soloman and Lo Celso ready to come on.
He does not look very comfortable on the ball? Also does not seem as quick as I thought he might me. Tough to be thrown in at the deep end and he is still very young but must say my impression based on the first half is different to yours.
Yeah, clearly Skipp is more defensively focused at the moment, but I still have hopes that Gio can be prodded into becoming some kind of complete No. 8, because he can really time a tackle when he wants toAgree but not than Lo Celso altho having gio and Maddison both on is obvs even more gung ho
not sure I agree.Lucky to go into the break even if we're honest. Brentford have been better in every department.
But some promising patterns of play, a few decent performances by new faces. Fully expecting a better performance in second half.
We could do worse than rotating Son and Richarlison to mix it upRicharlison is working hard, but he's not in the game. The front 3 need to do more, imo
Still think he's more press resistant than Sarr though
The good thing is by playing this way you do give yourself more opportunities to just hit a decent strike from range like the one we saw from Emerson.The forward play will be the last thing to click in this new approach. It’s clear that we are going to offer up plenty of chances from out wide. That will stop to an extent as we get more practice in the formation. Forwards need to learn to move and rotate to create space. That’s hard against a well organised Brentford who have plenty behind the ball. I’m sure it will come though
