I reckon I could do a decent job as an analyst or tactician. But to put it all together like KA, or like TF did… nah man, these guys are insanely good at what they do.

Not good enough at passing through the press. Specifically. And we’re not great at it, but not many are. But if we want to play this way, we need to get better at it, as teams are just going to press us like hull, Sunderland, and Leeds second...

I don't even thinks it's that. We're trying to bait the press. But then we're screwing it up. See mistakes against Hull and now against Sunderland. We're not good enough at baiting the press and then playing through. TBH, I'm not convinced any...

Meh, sorry, the international bread kinda screwed time. Chelsea was more than a month ago...

My last comment was meant to be the opposite of doom and gloom! Results haven't gone our way, yet we're still 6th. And our ability to beat the top teams is still there, it's against teams who treat us as the bigger threat where we struggle...

We just look ill equipped to deal with teams pressing us hard and high and then dropping off. Basically what we did first half of last season. We're not comfortable passing through the lines yet. I thought we might be able to progress quickly...

Honestly... We need to take a good long look at why we cannot play against teams who give us the ball and press with intensity. We just lose all impetus. And why we struggle to win fouls. I don't know how often someone was climbing all over IT...

I agree with some of teams posted. BUT, I think I'd play Igor. He needs a goal to get the monkey off his back, and then he'll start scoring for fun, so I want to give him as many chances as possible... Valdi Hickey Collins Sepp Diouf Janelt...

Was a poor week for me, but better than most on here, it seems...getting rid of Bruno (weeks too late) helped, and choosing Haaland instead of JP as captain. Next week will be tough, though...triple Arsenal against a Liverpool team who have...

I think he suffers from the same malaise that others have been suffering with...the constant need to move the ball quickly, and then making the wrong choice of pass because of that. It feels like a very purposeful tactic, but as of yet, the...

We have way too many of those performances in us. Literally second to every ball, can't deal with teams who press us hard and try to break. I didn't manage the entire match, but from what I did see, only really Ajer came out in the plus. Anthony...

2 dives and that shirt pull...Slater should have been sent off for 3 bookable offenses...I just don't understand officiating nowadays.

The thing is...a little bit of composure and there's so much space to exploit. But we just do not have it. THIS is the weakness of Cheif Keif's system. Chaos is all well and good until you come up against a team that does nothing but press you...

I'm sorry, but play advantage all you like, but you then go back and give the bloody yellow card, ffs.

Surely we'll get 50 points for IT, Kevin, and Kelleher? Or KLP...or Sangare...you do own Bees assets, right? ;)

Bruno out. Bryan playing. Wonder if Gross is out or Isak or DCL... I made the correct decision to take the captaincy off JP and gave it to Haaland, plus got shot of Bruno (weeks too late). Just means I'm praying for a Brighton CS now to get some...

I just consistently get decent but not good scores. Hopefully a bit of a pick up this time out, as I've taken my Bees quotient back to 3.

That "foul" was one of the worst instances of bad decision I have seen from a ref. There doesn't even appear to be a foul. The ref is reffing the "result" not the action, which is not right.

I actually think that's a potential tactic, especially with KLP... we lineup in a 4-3-3, but Kev drifts infield, Keane moves up, and Vitaly drops out and back to make a 442. Teams do in in defense, but I think it would be a valid system in...

IT has had an xG of 3.1 over the season so far...so it's not like he's awful, he's just being teamed up. His xG/90 is also not too far off last season, 0.52, compared to 0.56 last season. He just slightly overperformed last season, and is...

Bit of a difference between Madison and Fernandez...Madison gives as good as he gets and always seems up for a laugh. Does not seem like an absolute tw@. But Fernandez...if there was a dictionary definition of absolute raging bell-end, it would...

Well, yeah, not perfect, but KLP is a fantastic player, and I want to see him get on the pitch often.

Yeah. Have you "done" your rotator cuff at all? Painful as hell, but heals quickly. Imagine landing awkwardly while your rotator cuff is tender...that would really hurt. But all I'm doing is adding to the conjecture. Either way...he's fit and...
