Great game from the bees. Unlucky loss.
Not sure if really unlucky, there were 20 minutes in the 2nd half where Man City was really looking like they were going to score a 3rd one. But impressive gamee from Brentford indeed.
I’m surprised they’re so high in the ladder at the moment, I see they went under new management recently, is this why?
Last season half the starters were injured. We were absolutely ravaged. Barely made it out of relegation. So I think (even though we already now have 3 injured forwards) were going to do a decent bit better this season. Also the fact we had easyish fixtures helps.
I mean Man City def has better quality, but Brentford managed to play well, and do good both in posession and XG, beating man city, which is impressive.
