Let’s all just stop for a minute and be thankful we’re not Brentford supporters. Imagine having to watch that brand of ‘football’ every week.

Though on the plus side, purchasing away tickets would be a doddle.

Well that's not true regarding their home form, they've only lost twice and scored 23 goals, only Arsenal and Man City have scored more.

I’m not questioning their results, more their Stoke City 2.0 style of play.

If it works, it works. I didn't think Andrews would last long past Halloween!

Horses for courses, they’re a team punching above their weight and it’s probably the longest they’ve been in the top division. They’re making memories and I shouldn’t think they’re too bothered how they get results.

I'm not sure Stoke's style would have led to them scoring as many goals, though. Not sure, though, maybe Pulis had more goalfests than I remember.

First half they reminded me of Wimbledon a bit from the Fashanu era and they went long and turned our defence back towards our goal with loads of up in the air and as far as you can kick it stuff.
It worked out well for them.

Even under Emery we have played with all players behind the ball to defend and hope we can keep a team out and even get a goal on a break.

They are Stoke redux. Long balls between the centre half and full back. Defend their box and constrict space. Play percentages for long throws, kick lumps out of you. Two fucking ricochets and the ****** beat us twice. Absolutely woeful football, but a continuation of the shite Frank used to play.

They will inevitably be relegated though, they always do.

Why were Onana and Barkley on the bench yesterday?

My theory is that UE would have brought them on to shore up a lead.

Even at his best that's not Barkley's game. Stuck for a goal and surely he could have come on next to Tammy.
Making up the numbers i reckon, as there was no one else
