Really awful stuff.

Just really slow and basic possession with little idea and little evidence we have any attacking options to hurt them.

Some really naive sloppy bollocks as well which, after two warnings, eventually gave them a goal.

Lets be honest, midfield is where it's won. Currently we have Bentancur who continues to tip-toe around the pitch and is clearly still way off 100%, and Maddison looks so far off it it's unreal and looks a silly selection thus far. My foot is also going to go through the TV screen if he drops 100 miles from where he should be getting on the ball to pick it up one more time. Fuck off upfield, your job isn't to look fake busy picking it up off the defenders.

Performance is one thing, but we need sparking into life to have any chance of getting something. Way way off it, so flat.
 
We are too slow in possession and have been sloppy in key moments. Werner hasn’t been great but not sure Kulu has been on the pitch - he has been far worse in my opinion. Should replace kulu with Johnson and maybe skip for PEH. Skip been ok but PEH just has a little more creativity.
 
Because the ref is allowing Brentford to cheat, dive, time waste, kick balls away, wind players up constantly.

We're playing like shit. But the referee still needs to do his job.

Yes they’ve come here to spoil and maybe get a point and we’re letting them as is the ref
 
Such a big game tonight with Villa losing yesterday and we turn up and play like this not saying we’re spursy but definitely signs of it at the moment .
 
We've been pretty poor and Brentford have clearly rattled us. Maddison was mouthing off at someone in the first five minutes and it was obvious he was wound up already. We need to rise above the niggles and the time wasting, they're fucking laughing at us.

Only we can overcome the niggly, shithousey nature of this game.

Can't rely on the ref's to ref by the book so we must negate it by fast, snappy play; which at worst will earn US some fouls rather than see us giving cheap ones away and enabling their time-wasting all the time.
