What are the odds we lose back to back games? Toney will know, but I’m not having it. Fully backing us to dust ourselves off and return to winning ways now that we’ve got Maddison back in the fold.

Here are five fun facts about the suburb of Brentford for those not from the area.

Brentford’s season so far.

They are 14th in the league on 22 points.

Last 5 games
Sheffield (A) - Lost 1-0
Villa (H) - Lost 2-1
Wolves (H) - Lost 4-1
Palace (A) - Lost 3-1
Forest (H) - Won 3-2

The media darling and self proclaimed best striker/human being on the face of the earth, Ivan Toney is back. You can bet your bottom dollar Toney will want to get on the score sheet and you know he’ll be betting on it too. Other than that, they’re a shower of shite at the moment and we really should be dispatching them.

—————————-​
Current team picks itself imo. Højbjerg aside from a couple of brain farts at the end of the City game played well. Deserves his spot on Wednesday. With Maddison back, he’s got to start. Kulu isn’t great in that role, couldn’t release Werner or Johnson and really blunted our attack against what was a very good, well drilled City side who pressed the shit out of us.

Werner - Richarlison - Kulusevski
Maddison
Bentancur - Højbjerg
Udogie - VDV - Romero - Porro
Vicario
Still missing Sarr, Bissouma and Sonny who will be a big boost for us when they return. All in the knock out stages of AFCON/Asia Cup, go well lads. If Senegal and Mali win their next games, they’ll be facing each other in the next round so we’ll be getting one of our boys back in the next week or so at the latest.

Hope you’re all doing well, ladies/gents.

COYS.

I quite like this paragraph from James Gheerbrant's match report in the Times:

It was a game that hinged on flow. Under Postecoglou, Tottenham are a team who thrive on rhythm and attacks in waves; Brentford, on the other hand, live for the broken moments, little instances of profitable chaos, free kicks and knavish tricks. In a rancorous first half Tottenham lost their focus; it was when they shut out the provocation and lit up those attacking circuits — not least the left-sided triangle of Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Timo Werner — that the match changed.
 
Great win given the first half performance but fuck me we need to cut out these mistakes. That should have been comfortable.

Excellent to come out and let the football so the talking though after they wound us up.

Ref was a disgrace, really feel we need to say something about the officials now, it's every week.

That foul on Johnson at the end that wasn't given was ridiculous
