We've been let off a bit with the recent results elsewhere. We really need to win this one tomorrow and I don't really care how. Without Casemiro and Eriksen and with question marks over our midfield we just have to grind out a result. I think we miss the speed and trickery of Garnacho as well. No Weghorst and no McTominay please. Wan Bissaka instead of Dalot as well I think. Fck knows about the midfield, almost feel like trying this. ---------------DDG AWB - Varane - Martinez -Shaw --Sancho/Pellestri---Bruno---Fred Antony--------Martial-------Rashford Brentford's results have been up and down lately, a lot of draws, a couple of losses and wins scattered in there but they're still a decent side and we are going to be up against it. Our players need to be up for this, way up for this. Just play with intensity and turn up ffs.
I would go slightly different to your selection, Midfield Bruno Fred Sancho Forwards Antony/Pellestri Martial Rashford For me Antony does not get past his defender as often as I would expect, first season though so plenty of time to get it right.
4 2 3 1 Sabitzer and Fred the two. Antony Bruno Sancho Rashford up front If the two not solid enough, try Martinez alongside Fred and Maguire plays at centre half. I genuinely think he'll start Weghorst and we'll be on the backfoot from the start, and will struggle.
Sabitzer and McTominay in midfield. This is going to be a hard and painful watch. We're not winning this.
1-0 job done 3 points. We were **** in the 2nd half though when Brentford applied some pressure. But it will do.
10 games to go. Just beat Everton and then hopefully we get Casemiro and Eriksen back for the run in.
This guy is such a one trick pony. He stubbornly tries the same thing over and over again. Sancho should be given a good run in the starting lineup.
Almost the key match of this month. Win that, we will then need to win about 5 or 6 of the remaining matches to almost guarantee a top 4 place. The rivals are playing each other and we should get stronger touch wood.
I find it odd that people can't see a player in Antony, there clearly is. To me there is anyway. It's his first season in the PL. I recall certain Ronaldo being given the same stick.
Yeh I've made the same comparison with Ronaldo's first season. He'll develop under Ten Hag and the coaching team. Very early days. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is Antony's workrate. That bloke puts a heck of a shift in. Against Brentford he was busting a gut to get back and put a tackle in and support Dalot whilst at the same time bombing forward. There's ambition in him. I didn't mind the shooting Cytrax, I just wish he'd got them on target
Yeh very much so and then it's about game management for the cup matches. I personally think we have more chance in the FA Cup. We may just fall short in the Europy.
Yes ETH needs to use other members of the squad whenever appropriate. Funnily I think there is no reason why we can’t get into the Europa final. We’ve got the more difficult arm in that comp but so far we’ve played better in Europe than in England. I think our domestic opposition are stronger on paper. Brighton are currently flying and City will be waiting if we get past Brighton.
Come on, guys! CR was 18 or 19 and costs £12m. Now, I don’t want to be overly critical of Antony, I just don’t think that he should persistently be the first option when Jadon is in the squad.
