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.
