    0-1 or 0-2 to the toon. Brentford are a tough team though, only lost 5 games this season, and have plenty of draws, so wouldn't surprise me if it was a 1-1 or 0-0.

    We were sloppy vs WHU.

    Awesome, back to playing 4 CM's again then....

    Just when ASM starts to play well and make me think he has a reliable future... he's either inconsistent and no final ball, or he's injured.

    I really hope we play Gordon on the wing and have 3 attacking players, not a CM playing LW.

    FFS back to the old line up that we couldn't score for **** in. A CM playing LW. I suppose we have Isak now so it's different.

    Brentford sitting back with 5 at the back...

    Against a **** West Ham side, yes, but we did have tough time scoring during parts of our season, and it was when we were essentially playing 4 CM's, with one playing LW.

    Willock and Joelinton vs Leicester in the cup springs to mind..

    If I was a betting man I'd lump on joelinton to score 1st.

    Agreed, but we had two spells of struggling to win games. We recently changed it to playing 3 proper forwards with Murphy and ASM playing on the wings, and we started scoring again.

    My argument is not against Joelinton. He's a good player, I love him, my argument is I don't wanna see Willock/Joelinton at LM a regular occurance.
