Such a versatile squad …. Loving it

Doubters to believers lads and lasses.

Think about the players missing atm and the ones we've missed like Robbo (4 months) and Mo (2 months). We are a very good team with quality depth.

Potentially a real banana skin but everyone stepped up magnificently.

Feel for Diogo, he was in the form of his life. Hope both injuries prove less horrid than they looked.

Caligula? · « **Reply #163 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:35:21 pm »

That's a fantastic win that but it's hard to get too excited, as would be usual after a performance like that, when you look at the big picture. Two injuries on top of the ones we already have is going to make things very, very difficult going forward.

Strong performance. Shame about Jota as that was absolutely top class first half: the assist, the runs, the combative nature of his work. It's a shame that the injury came as a result of that good hard defensive work as well. Really frustrating to lose him.

Like Endo's combativeness and it frees up Mac Allister, but Endo does need to be careful. He's got some bite and snide in his game, but just needs to toe the line (he's experienced enough to know).

Like seeing Cody get a goal. Will really need him to produce with Jota injured.

Kelleher in good form and is really unlucky to not have a clean sheet. Two outstanding saves.

And Mo back like he hasn't missed a beat.

All in all, a fine Saturday except those injuries.

Great win, really needed that. Would be great if Abu Dhabi or Arsenal can drop points now.

Was impressed by Gravenbech when he came on, he looked pretty comfortable but we really are running thin with not much rest now.

Any news on Nunez?

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #166 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:35:47 pm »

Say again Jota was shown walking down the corridor, all we can do is cross our fingers and hope it wasn't as serious as first feared.

TipTopKop · « **Reply #167 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:35:50 pm »

Hope Jota's alright.

A statement win. To overcome the early kick off, away from home, an opponent that didn't wasn't interested in football, an inept ref doing his thing, missing our starting goalie, having an influential player of injured and worrying about Jones too, to come away from that 4-1 show the character.

Tobelius · « **Reply #168 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:35:51 pm »

What a controlled and commanding performance from the reds,Gakpo brilliant once he came in,Endo's becoming a favourite of mine,everyone did well.

Kept hoping that flock of pigeons would relentlessly shit on some of Brentford's grocks and Oliver.

Twat of a day for us despite the result.

Match a side show while we wait for more injury updates

Would you rather have had dropped points and no injuries?

Our luck is awful but that’s a big win. Cross our fingers now, but everyone made an impact off the bench and if we need them over the next few weeks hopefully they’ll step up.

Sensational stuff, very comfortable win really in the end. Brentford were fuckin at it all game, refs are and always will be twats.

Really hope the injuries are not serious, definitely tarnished the game a little.

jonnypb · « **Reply #171 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:36:21 pm »

Good win in what could have been a tricky game for us.

Shame about the injuries, but great to have Mo back and Bradley looks a solid backup/rotation for Trent. Thought he was unlucky not to get another goal today with his cheeky flick.

red mongoose · « **Reply #172 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:36:22 pm »

Lovely performance, wasn't it? Young Bradley so good again, Kelleher with a pair of amazing saves and steady distribution, Mo the Goal Glutton grabbing another one. I'll take that one.

Dad of the Year.

You know if you went yourself it would have ended 1-0 (Toney pen 48).

Excellent performance by the whole team. Brentford were thuggish and the injuries are all that we might think of when we remember this game in the summer.

18 fouls to 4 according to the BBC, ridiculous really

Brentford are relentless andshameless with their diving. Always do it in a way they get the free kick at least against us

Thomas Frank is a twat as every team is a reflection of their manager.

Gutsy display by all the team, least said about the officials the better.

Seen worse. Ok they missed Bradley's kick on Tony's calf and Diaz pen, not really got much wrong big decisions wise.

Red Ol · « **Reply #179 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:36:51 pm »

Great win, although felt a bit hollow because of the thuggery and shit referring. 3 points but at a cost. Refs never give opponents of Abu Dhabi the same freedom to foul and dive that they so often do against us.

Thank goodness we have real depth this season.
Endo is D’ One

bornandbRED · « **Reply #180 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:36:52 pm »

They showed Jota walking in the tunnel during HT, which is a decent sign. Once the adrenaline wears off it’s very hard to stand or walk on knee injuries. Hope it’s not too serious.

Over to Arsenal and City

JP! · « **Reply #181 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:36:53 pm »

Fucking hell, you win 4-1 in adversity away from home and the sky's falling for Caligula and Fromola

Made it look easy, really impressive performance.

Cesar · « **Reply #182 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:36:57 pm »

Even before taking into account the loss of Curtis and Diogo, that's a fantastic performance. Not an easy place to go and pick up 3 points. We adapted so well. Great to see Mo back and looking sharp. Not heard why Nunez was taken off, hope it was tactical rather than injury?

Phineus · « **Reply #183 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:37:02 pm »

Some good luck/news on injuries now please!

I still feel sick as a dog.

All I want to know is how much Boehly paid Brentford. Fucking tw@ts. And fuck Oliver too.

I bet they don't do a season ending injury like that on De Bryne or Haaland when they play Abu Dhabi.

Up the Mighty Reds!

Schmarn · « **Reply #186 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:37:34 pm »

Great win in the circumstances.

Let’s hope Darwin’s sub was tactical. Jota and Curtis likely out for more than a few weeks. Having a fit Mo back is huge though. Just got to keep winning and rotating.

Great goal Darwin lad.

Fantastic win for us
Don’t think we were good defensively but when you’ve got world class attacking players it doesn’t matter

Bradley is a huge talent - he’s just so powerful for his age
Mo came on and made it look like he was playing in a lower league game

stockdam · « **Reply #191 on:** February 17, 2024, 02:38:19 pm »

Excellent win against 12 men.

Salah showed why he is such a great player. He was 2nd favourite to get the ball but was more switched on than both defenders. He then was strong and determined……….he wasn’t going to be denied.

Both keepers played well as did Van Dijk, Endo, Bradley and Jota. Mac Allister was MOTM.

I thought all 3 penalty shouts were penalties although Toney made no attempt to play the ball.

Oh and I do not want to hear any talk of Frank as potential manager. His tactics of cheating and buying cheap free kicks are the complete opposite of how we play.

Fantastic second half. There's always the subdued feeling when you win but one (or more) of your players gets injured, but the performance itself was great. Lovely to see Mo back too.

Fab win but a huge cost.

Hard to get into a celebratory mood but players are really galvanised not matter what is thrown at them and working brilliant together.

A good refereeing performance isn't just about getting the big decisions correct. He was fucking awful from the start. 9 free kicks to 1 for a team with 65% possession in the first half. It was a diabolical showing from the ref.
