We aren't playing that bad overall, compared to some of the other games we lost. Konate fucked up their second and Kerkez and Marma their first but we can defo win this. They don't have a good defence
 
How do we get control in our games? Seems always all over the place. Too many light weight players all over the place up front and midfield.
 
When we get the ball near their box we need someone other than konate or virg there to play or pick some passes. Too many times it's been left to them to do something when Wirtz, Jones, Dom, Salah, even Ekitike, who can all do more with the ball, are invisible.
 
Kerkez might have quit football at halftime, had he not scored that goal, he looks so lost and terrified out there.

Why did Ibou decide to not run fast as their attacker strolled past him for that second? And why did our keeper jump outta the way when the shot was straight fucking at him?

Wirtz TWICE had players clean through with a better through ball.

Mo misses a glorious chance with a woeful first touch. Wirtz misses a fucking sitter. And Cody dives, leading directly to their second.

Our wide attackers really are where moves go to die, aren't they. They both need to come off. Now.

What exactly are we now? We don't attack with any pace. We don't have the creativity to break down a packed final third with tippy-tappy football. Our defense is a shambles... What are we trying to do out there?

Why are we soooooooooooo fucking slow? Why do our attackers nearly ALWAYS look to just cut back and regurgitate possession?

That 'break' when Szobo carried the ball, then played a much too soft pass to Bradley (I think), who cut back and allowed ALL the Brentford defense to recover summed us perfectly. So did Curtis, when, just briefly, he was in behind the fullback on the left hand side, had he just sprinted towards goal, but instead, he controls it, turns back towards his own goal, and starts again... When did ALL of our players lose the ability to make any one-touch passes? Or shots.
 
Lovely match fact. We’ve only come back from 2-0 down to win twice in the EPL. Last time was 21 years ago
