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

[johntmorgan67]

Scrappy away win would be welcome, 0-1 Beto to slot

I see it's been moved to a tea time kickoff...Sky obviously regards as a clash of the giants...or relegation candidates...

 

[Thomasc]

We might scrape a point if they have an off day.

Other than that, I expect much of the same.

 

[gonetomorrow]

An honourable draw.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Their players aren't any better than ours, but they play a lot better, so I'm just hoping.

We were in Liverpool when this fixture was played last year and we were shopping at Everton 2 late on the Saturday afternoon.

The last I heard we were leading 1-0 and I asked a young woman working there if she knew the result. She said she didn't and didn't even follow football and that made me laugh.

Looking at the positivity on here, predicting wins and goals, laugable really. These comments are probably made a bit tongue in cheek because no-one could really be considering we can win this game. Brentford are years ahead of us, they spend so much time on set pieces, pretty much guaranteed to be scoring a set piece against us.

The issue we have is the players are good enough to be competitive in this league but unfortunately our manager is nowhere near the level required.

Again Brentford spend time and are creative with set pieces, we defend the 6 yard box defending set pieces and just rely on it being `lumped in the box` when attacking, the majority of time in to the goalkeepers hands.

We will no doubt sit in to "not lose", let`s hope we have some ambition to attack.

If we sit back and wait for something to happen like last week, we will lose 1 nil again just like last week

We need to show some urgency and some willingness to get men forward. It is not good enough to allow the opposition the freedom of the pitch and to sit off them. We are playing a good team but they are not exactly Man City, or Bayern Munich etc, so don't show them too much respect.

2-0 Everton

 

[degsy]

With a 0230 ( queensland time) KO. I won't be watching it till Sunday morning - So Saturday Night won't be ruined.
If our attitude and game plan is the opposite of last weeks - we have a chance

Positivity?

Get off the forum while you can.

Play to our strengths...

I don't understand how we're not winning every game (except v Forest, obv)?

 

[HowardsWay]

Hate this lot with a passion. Hate their manager and his pathetic excuses when they lose and his smug mug when they win. He's fashioned a good team, no doubt, but the amount of time wasting they do is beyond belief. Hope we smash them but we won't. Expect the worst, hope for the best.

Thomas Frank is far far superior than Sean Dyche, like most of the Premier League, Frank will teach Dyche a tactical lesson....

Just please don’t start with Gana, Onana, and Doucoure again.
