Match Thread Brentford v Everton - Preview, Match Report and 3-day MotM Poll

It just won't end

2-0 Brentford

 

[NathDogg]

Just hope we set up to at least try and have a go offensively and also get stuck in and make some tackles/fouls - another weak, passive, cowardly showing as was the arsenal match will tip many, including myself, over the edge in regards to Dyche and the onfield issues.

 

[Caso01]

After what I’ve just read on the home page does it even matter.

A lot of pressure on Dyche and I am praying we don't have more "noise" off the pitch and we can just concentrate on winning games.

Brentford tend to set up in a attacking 4-3-3 and with the unfortunate injury of Rico Henry, we should take advantage on the width of how narrow their set up is.

I think we will be pretty much full strength with Harrison back training last week and Coleman a few weeks away. The options of DCL and Beto will be so tempting to play up front together but perhaps away from home and the pressure for points, I would leave them for Luton next week.

Against Arsenal, our midfield looked state and pedestrian so I would encourage Dyche to bring Garner back into the fold ASAP plus look at dropping the guff of Doucoure and Onana.

Defensively, we looked better but having Ashley Young still starting given the poor poor start and horrific set-pieces, I would like him dropped.

4-2-3-1

Pickford
Patterson - Tarkowski - Branthwaite - Mykolenko
Gueye - Garner
Harrison - McNeil - Danjuma
DCL

I think that 3 of Harrison, McNeil and Danjuma would support DCL in pressure and pressing plus capable of getting a goal plus have that additional space to counter effectively.

Dyche HAS to shake up that team and no more same old, same old. He has to show our fan base that he CAN manage and he CAN tactically adapt to WIN GAMES.

If it's the same midfield v Arsenal and same subs - the fanbase is getting restless and bored with this stale football which provides no to little points.

We need a BIG result and we are due a win so I am going with 1-3 win for the Blues

Does anyone know if there's another World Cup in the Middle East this winter, please?

Could do with another one - and putting this domestic season on ice - if there's time to organise it.

 

[siddharth]

We should be able to win, player for player the better side but just not better coached.
If Dyche does what he did last season and in the first three games, it will work enough. Need to finish the game with DCL and Beto, and Keane on for Gana final 10 minutes. Let's win thisssss, game plan game plan.... maximum effort minimum requirement..... Come onnnn....

 

[datblygu]

We'll beat Brentford.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Please start Garner in the number 10 role … at least he can pass a ball forwards

 

[Dixieslaces]

On the minibus down there, not really looking forward to it.

You have left very early...........

 

[PeregrineT]

Has to be a good performance and a draw to stop the bleeding. I dont think we realistically get a win, but has to feel like the chance was there

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

I don't see how we could possibly get a result here.

Dire times indeed

I would sooner see Beto lead the line, but apart from that, it could be a winning team, we must play to win.

….i think he might as well try variations in CM, not convinced yet by Garner but it’s difficult to feel positive about many of them.

Can't wait for this!
