[andyrew]

Don't see much from the sell Schade brigade these days perhaps they are eating a large slice of humble pie right now

Kevin and the unfortunate Jensen are big players for us. I hope we get them signed up long term.

 

[andyrew]

There were plenty moaning about him on the matchday thread as usual yesterday, even after his first goal. Apparently he goes down too easily (tee hee) and was responsible for Muff's first goal - even though Ajer basically passed it to their scorer. So the micro analysis of his performance and meaningless interpretations of his body language persist. Despite the fact he's arguably our best performer at the moment. At least they had the sense to pipe down after his second....

I wonder how difficult it must be to simultaneously eat humble pie and cheer through gritted teeth. Idiots!

It takes multiple learning experiences to overcome confirmation bias...

 

[Leonardo]

Is it my imagination or has he gone up a gear already this season?

Realised yesterday that our Xg was only 0.52, so again, well done Kev!

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Kevin has clearly come on over the summer. Looks a menace and our only goal threat right now.

 

[TadB]

Not sure as he does either need to be sold or sign a new contract as we are past the last two years now of his current deal. Arsenal are apparently interested

Longer contract equals a larger fee.

 

[tinman]

But, but, but...
He can't control a bag of cement...
His first touch is worse than a group of Primary School kids.....

I know a primary school kid (grandson) who was absolutely blown away by his second goal. “Grandpa, how did he do that?”

Six Knee-Jerk Reactions to Premier League Matchday 4 | Opta Analyst

We’re back for our weekly review of the Premier League’s action with a bunch of hastily made conclusions from MD4.

theanalyst.com

Schade Will Be the Next Player to Make the Step Up to the Big Six

Last season, Brentford were an effective collective and, for the first time in a while, there was no standout player for them to spend the summer trying to keep hold of.

And they have benefitted from that continuity, making a strong, unbeaten start to the new campaign as they seek to overcome the disappointment of just missing out on Europe last season by righting that wrong.

However, they know, and we know too, that their best players will eventually leave, and Kevin Schade looks a likely candidate to pique the interest of the big boys next summer.

After his brace at Bournemouth at the weekend, only Erling Haaland (four) has scored more goals than him in the Premier League this season (three). But while he ranks second for goals, he is all the way down in 34th for expected goals, with just 0.98. He is in ruthless form in front of goal.


Kevin Schade xG Premier League 2026-27

That said, it’s worth noting that he is catching the eye in part because he is scoring such, well, eye-catching goals. After his excellent flicked volley against Leeds and a well-taken header to open the scoring this weekend, he pounced on a goalkeeping error to lob Djordje Petrovic from distance for his third of the season.

These finishes do speak to a man bursting with confidence, but they aren’t exactly the most reliable source of goals. It will be interesting to see how long this streak goes on because if it does, he may well be earning Brentford’s next big pay cheque.

Yes Igor didn't stand out at all.

[cliffbee]

It's always been clear Schade is the ultimate confidence player. He has spells when he doesn't look much like getting goals and assists, even though he always works hard. ATM he looks super confident and lethal in front of goal. His lobbed goal on Saturday was a brilliant finish and I don't imagine it would have had an XG of much more than 0.2. If he keeps up that level there will certainly be interest from Europe's elite clubs who will be well aware of his contract running down. Ironically the better he plays the more likely it gets that he'll turn down all our contract offers and wait for the big move in January or next summer

In Troy Deeney's team of the week.

Thats torn it, not under the radar anymore

Troy Deeney's Team of the Week: Donnarumma, Konsa, Fernandez, Schade

After every round of Premier League matches this season, Troy Deeney gives us his team of the week. Do you agree with his choices?

Great insight from Troy there... "Two goals again at Bournemouth. I feel like he's the next one they'll sell. Pace, power, scores goals and works hard for the team."

 

[jlove]

I'm not sure why, after a player's had a decent few weeks, we need to think about selling him on. I think Directors of Football are a bit more sophisticated than that.

Nah. PG strikes me as an Arthur Daley

Must be a shoe-in for Klopp's first squad.

Not sure that's come as a result of his start to the season. More a case of his contract situation I think, which has been known about for a while.
Plus, a lot of people have been saying "sell him" since the middle of last season....But that's because he's so sh*t......apparently......

 

[Canterbee]

Just heard that Klopp has dropped Leroy Sané from the Germany squad. He could well bring in Schade to replace Sané which would be great to see.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Could be Schade and El Mala.

Competing for a place with El Mala. What could've been......

 

[Untouchable]

Called up by Germany!

Congratulations Kevin!

 

[petsknee]

As mentioned on the Janelt thread. Good that Klopp has finally seen the light. Proud of our boys for making the team, shame they couldn't be in the same squad together.

Klopp hasn’t had that long! Whilst both squads are an interesting mix, my impression is that Kev is in with some of the established names/summer failures.
Vitaly looks like one of the experienced pros, among a smattering of newbies/wild cards.

 

[twickersbee]

Absolutely delight for him, now time to get a new contract signed

 

[JFisher97]

Feels like I'm thinking it every week at this point, but his best performance in a bees shirt. Absolutely everywhere. 10 more years on that contract please

 

[Streetboy]

This will be his season

 

[petsknee]

Is it just me or does he play better when he streamlines his hair!

 

[jbee]

Think he will outscore Thiago this season and Thiago will get plenty.

 

[mundee4england]

I miss the Afro! But another great performance.

 

[beeeehive]

Him giving Neto the 2-0 sign with his hands with a v sign after Neto mouthed off

He looks up for it this season

 

[taxi driver]

He does seem a bit more engaged with the fans this season.

He was good again tonight and if we could get him to sign a new deal it would be fantastic

 

[Bridge Bee]

Really good. Direct, positive and two assists

 

[Bumbling fool]

I have no rational basis for this whatsoever, but I've got a feeling he'll stay and also have his best ever season, making 15-20 goal contributions. I can't justify it whatsoever, just blind optimism, contrarianism, and a vague sense that when portions of the fan base act about a player the way they've acted about Schade this season, they're usually proven wrong shortly after. Plus I don't see us getting what we think he's worth after a relative ebb in form

:^)

[andyrew]

Top attitude again from 0-60

 

[lanzabee]

Things I really liked from Kev last night...

1. Sumo throw on the the ginger midfield midget
2. Throwing up a 2 0 goal sign to Neto, who presumably mouthed off to earn it
3. Pressing, workrate, commitment
4. Chief Keith pinching his cheeks and Kev beaming in response post match

His time has come, so pleased for him. Germany call up provides further validation. And so good not to have to read whingy posts about his body language and supposed lack of this or that attribute anymore. He's the real deal and we're lucky to have him

 

[Untouchable]

Kev looks like a much more complete forward this season. As does Thiago. Whatever we’ve done with these boys since pre season is now paying dividends.

Time to get that new contract agreed.

 

[Gazza Bee]

Consistency is key - great start to the campaign but needs to produce week in, week out. He is a 70m player on paper but needs that Mbuemo level of performance in more games than not.

Really hope we can sell the project to him to persuade him to sign a new long term deal - probably more likely to happen if top 6 looks achievable.

 

[badgerbee]

For this alone PG should give KS whatever he asks for in his new contract!!!!

Agree with all of this but there is also no denying that Kev's persona in general has changed this season. Whatever the catalyst has been we are now reaping the benefits. He looks stronger, quicker, totally committed and strikes fear in opposition defences. I really hope he has a successful time with Klopp in the break because he will come back even better. Now is the perfect time to get the new contract sorted.

Alternatively if he wants a step-up, champions league etc, January window might be his peak value, just saying.

I think people forget that last season was full of change for KS - had to adapt to two new forward partners, new left back partner in KLP and a new manager, who I think asked more of him defensively. Personally, I don't think there is a dramatic difference this season other than these elements are now much more settled. And I never bought into the body language/smiling/attitude narrative some posters promoted. Either way though, we now have a potent player on our hands - and that's all that really matters.

 

[HMDBFC]

Either wa

Alternatively if he wants a step-up, champions league etc, January window might be his peak value, just saying.

Either way a new contract is important

 

[mhead bee]

Can’t believe he didn’t get an assist/involvement for either goal, the first one being saved and the second nicking a Chelsea toe on the way across the goal. 6 points on my fantasy team.

 

[mundee4england]

He got awarded an assist for both in FPL, 9 points in total.

He's key to the way we play, selling him in January would be a disaster for this season.

Just get the new contract done.
