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

Don’t agree with a net spend zero. Simply replaced what left that’s all. Squad need strengthening not remaining the same. Blame for that’s not on the manager

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

We played better than the scoreline suggests.

As long as we play like that every week we will be fine. Not every team we play will score from every chance they get.

We do need to get Llorente out of the team.

Half on here think Phillips is overrated and ****, half think James was a waste of money.

You think I have an Anti Marsch agenda, I do I think he’s ****, I’m not denying it, I’ve already said I have a clouded opinion

I think you have an Anti Radz agenda, I’m not happy he didn’t spend £30m of his own money on a striker but at least he didn’t do a Bates, at least he gave Marsch the money back to reinvest.

In the end, on serious reflection, we gave Bielsa far too much freedom in the transfer market when we have a DOF

We’ve repeated that mistake this season with Marsch. His excuse last season was the players have bad habits, they’re not used to his methods.

We sign his players and when you consider the injury list now compared to last season then nothing has really improved

Like you with jess I’ve never tried to mislead anyone with my feelings on Radz. Is what it is and people can take it or leave it. I won’t bother repeating it at this moment. Maybe in ten minutes or so

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.

So you can put the blame on JM, he continues to pick and doesn’t sub him.

I think he's been stuck with Llorente because of Coopers and Aylings injuries. He can't use Struijk because we have no left back.

If he picks Llorente next game then yeah, Marsch will take more responsibility.

Wasn’t Cooper on the bench?

Cooper was on the bench and he said it was close whether he would start or not.

If he'd started Cooper and he broke down then Marsch would have 'rushed him back too soon".

Cooper will play when the physio staff say he is comfortable playing a full 90.

The refs aren't to blame every week but there have been some shocking refs at our games. VAR is killing football Imo. I'm pissed off with the result, but I'm getting more and more pissed off with football in general. It's becoming sterile.

No but I ain't making out that Brentford are **** I was simply stating that they thrashed the scum as well who are now over us in the league after a short while ago being bottom.....so I don't see your point of it being an embarrassing defeat by a "lesser" team, we ain't the super Leeds of old by a long chalk so take it on the chin my old son, have a pleasant evening

The ref and VAR rendered me speechless today.

They got everything. We got nothing. Not just the major things either.
