[Albion] Premier League 24-26/2/24

Would finishing 10th be so bad for a club our size?

Personally, it feels like Dreamland

Gael Clichy is quality. Hopefully see more of him now.

We’re really small compared to Sheffield United (or is it Chelsea), so it would be a colossal achievement.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

How come, we think our squad/team and football this season is a joy to behold, whilst we mock Moyes and say his team as shit, yet they match us in the table?

My theory …. Bowen and Paqueta are exceptionally good footballers, match winners and game changers, masking a very poor team and negative manager.

Unfortunately you have to add Kudus to the list of good players.
Without them West Ham are awful.

It would probably see off any slim chance we have of keeping De Zerbi.

EDIT: Someone else made the point I was going to make to @Weststander



What's going on with Brentford? I thought they were just missing Toney and when he returned they would go on a good run. Did they sell or lose some other key players who were overlooked? Is this a delayed 2nd season syndrome? With Benham looking to sell the club (or an interest in it) is there something in that going on in the background?

Thought Toney was very poor last night.

Which is ironic as the coach who has overseen the highest number of draws in the league - by 2!

Once he's sold in summer they're in the shit next season, unless they reinvest very well

Brentford firmly in the relegation battle now, even more so with the Everton farce. Can't imagine they'll end up in a serious scrap but still a bit surprised they're doing as poorly as they are. They have Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Villa and us in their next six games as well.

That's alright they can look forward to 3 points v us when we give them a goal due to some pathetic defending.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Brentford for sale, Toney for sale, Franks exit stage left, Brentford down, Maupay still performing

Bowen was unmarked last night their defending is worse than ours...............I hope

They’ve had dreadful luck with injuries this season, worse than us and all the other teams we constantly hear about added to the Toney absence. They’re a small club with a low budget squad who have massively punched above their weight and they just don’t have a squad stong enough to deal with the absences they’ve had this season. Our squad is much stronger than theirs in comparison as you’d expect as we’re in Europe and been in the PL for a lot longer. They’re doing well to be where they are IMO.
