Match Thread Brentford v Everton - Match Report, MotM Poll

.

abysmal defending

Not abysmal enough for Brentford.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

McNeil having a decent half

He has great-close control. The ball is glued to his feet. We just have to find a way to get him in the freakin box. I can see him sneaking a goal in

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Iwobi is superb.

You trying to jinx him as well, mate?

 

[Parker]

Good stuff that.

The forward players have been good, yep including McNeil.

2 centre mids look assured.

That pitch looks dry as the Sahara.

Ball just checks up with every long ball.

 

[Frenk]

Not bad, iffy at the back at times, but not helped by some of the antics by the likes of Patterson. A forward in this team and we may have had more.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

You know what we can be lucky too once in a while, its allowed

 

[Miked1e]

Get a grip lads, all these 'we should be this many down ' posts are just sad.

It's like you want to lose

Completely agree….

 

[johnjoeefc]

Let's be honest we should be losing. I'm not trying to be too negative but our defence is all over the place. I think Allan needs to come on second half or switch to a back 4. If we keep with the same formation then the full backs have to stay back or we will definitely concede

 

[LostLegend]

Mixed bag of a half.

Some promising attacking play, but a bit chaotic defensively.

Iwobi running things in the midfield.

 

[Parker]

Iwobi is superb.

 

[Johnnytotal]

Don't get the negative feeling from some.

We look good on the ball for the 1st time in years.

Fully deserved lead...I'm impressed so far today.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Too many leaders in defence it seems.

 

[lungo]

Need to tighten up for the second half, can't risk riding our luck like we have been doing.

Patersson isnt even Sunday league and Tarkowski is a zero. Take both of and bring in Allan and Coleman! No protection from midfield and efforts on goal are mostly pathetic.

 

[Neiler]

Very, very open lads and ladies, were playing this game by the seat of our pants. We don’t have control of it, we need another in midfield who can get on the ball and give us a bit of control in the game.

 

[Curtis]

There were some lapses in defensive focus but overall I thought we've been pretty decent especially without a natural striker contrast with last season where we had one or two shots on target the entire game
