    Great Post.

    If we had Jansson and Toney and they had Llorente and Bamford we'd have got more than 5.

    Hang on a minute. Who can legislate for llorente almost single handedly destroying our Defence and bamford with miss if season from a foot out. Lorentz is fast becoming a liability. Can’t put the entire result on Marschs shoulders. Almost every fans been calling for Joffy to start and he’s offering little

    The coach can only wirk with what he has. The club has failed to invest up front and left back.

    Got to ask the question is Llorente playing this bad on purpose?.

    FCK, i wish i never read this thread, to catch up with the score :headbang:, on the other hand if i didn't i was going to watch it on MOTD tonight <yikes>, and that would be worse, at least i won't have to witness that now. From what your all saying Lorente was once again hopeless, and once again poor finishing, although we do seem to score, but defending any attack seems to be a major problem atm, something which marsche urgently needs to address somehow.
    I see goals scored 10 Which is not bad, but goals against 10 which is poor, so it's obvious where our problems lie.
    So their goes our healthy goal difference, C'MON MARSCHE SORT IT OUT. As i also thought i had seen the last of those spankings.

    Net spend zero. Lost quality players along the way. Suppose no point in being accurate as won’t suit the ant Marsch agenda

    We didn't deserve the 5-2. Its harsh.

    The first one is not and never has been a penalty.

    The 2nd is a great free kick and he won't hit one like that again all season.
    I genuinely don't think we were bad today (apart from Llorente). Thought we created more chances than they did. I also think the ref gives them plenty of decisions to help them out at key moments.

    I don't think it's a penalty, and if it is then surely Summerville should have one 2nd half.

    We had more possession, more shots, more corners and we certainly had a **** load of bad luck.

    Brentford had one of those days where every bounce went their way, every decision and everything they hit went in. I genuinely believe on another day we come away with an away win.

    Llorente needs dropping next game. He started this season in dreadful form and cost us 2 or 3 goals today.

    Bad result but decent performance apart from Llorente (who needs melting down for glue the ****).

    Other than what I've said earlier. Couple of other things to add.
    Marsch was very unprofessional today, I know he loves the Leeds passion but like Orta, he thinks being a nob adheres you to the faithful but it doesn't.
    Have we got any u21 games coming up, if Cooper ain't fit, the we need to give Hjelde a run out at LB for them, then he can play there against Forest and move Struijk to partner Koch. It can't be any worse than keeping g Llorente in there. I really don't like slagging individual players off and don't look for scapegoats but he's been unbelievably poor all season.

    I like Marsch but seriously think he needs to rethink his tactics away from home.

    Mate I was complaining about Llorente last season, I think he is dire. Scroll back through my posts, I’ve even said I think Ayling will play CB when he returns.

    I’d have put the priority this season on a striker to replace Bamford, I’ve said numerous times we destroyed Joffy last season. I’d play Joffy ahead of James up front yes but we should have better options and fans are only calling for him to start out of desperation.

    Bamford has always missed sitters, he will continue to miss them, when you exit a transfer window spending £96m on players it’s at your feet

    Exactly this.

    Llorente puts us under pressure dawdling on the ball. Brentford are good at set pieces. 50 seconds in Llorente dawdles on the ball and Toney charges down his attempted pass. That set the tone. Couple of minutes later, despite Marsch talking all week about set pieces, he gets man handled by the Milky bar kid playing up front and wrestles him to the ground. Dangerous free kick conceded.

    Moving on to the goals, he gets nutmegged for Toneys third. He doesn't sweep behind Koch as he and Toney challenge for a header (which Toney has dominated all game) but Mbuemo does anticipate it and he goes through one v one and scores for Brentfords 4th. He gets caught in possession 30 yards from his goal trying a Cryuff turn leaving Meslier exposed for the 5th.

    That's 3 goals he is fully or partly at fault for. An absolute horror show from Llorente and that's after being at fault for Evertons goal the other night and turning his back to the ball when he has a simple header for an equaliser at Brighton.

    He's a liability and has cost us too many times. He MUST be dropped immediately.

    Wish I hadn’t come on here to catch up but as someone has already said won’t be watching the embarrassment on match of the day
    Was hoping for a draw not a 5-2 thrashing
    Forest is a must win game otherwise we are without doubt relegation fodder
    Don’t blame the ref every week the true blame lies with the manager(Mr Jesse Marsch) and that other useless wage thief Mr Victor Orta

    That was worse. Seven against Man City was bad but they could do that to anyone, but Brentford, it’s not even a proper part of London <steam>
