Need to improve creativity wise. This Odegaard slump isn’t helping, but we are good at controlling games and good defensively. Also I beg our keeps become more confident
I can actually excuse this game. He’s coming back from a long injury, so it can’t be expected that after 1 game, and maybe 1 practice, he’s back to his usual standards. We need to give him a bit of time IMO.
Cleansheet with ramsdale “thrilling moment” every match or 1 goal conceded with raya every match???
I would take as much as “thrilling moments” as long as it doesn’t end up a goal lol.
Like asking if you’d rather win a tenner or get kicked in the bollocks that haha
Rice and saliba are unreal
Ghoddos worked his ass off for 90 minutes. Shame the slip-up led to a goal. Tough to play out of position against a great team
I forgot to add, fucking well done Brentford. You guys were compact, organized and ready to spring a counter on us. Respect for the game plan and executing it well. Gotta give respect to them for making it a painful watch.
