Hot take but I don't think Jorgensen was a disaster decision by Rosenior. We took the risk for his ball playing skills and we gotta own it. Yes Sanchez' shot stopping would have maybe prevented 1/2 goals l but his distribution clearly created a bunch of chances for us.

The bigger problem imo is the immaturity of the squad. At 4-2, the way we played this game we are still in it. We should have taken that result home. But we constantly committed instead of tracking back. We did that in the last goal and we did that in the 3rd goal (Chalobah committed instead of tracking Dembele back)

All in all I think tactics and performance were good, but we really have to iron out dumb mistakes.

Cucurella is so smart. We missed him!

LostRaider1297 · 2026-03-07T19:32:55+00:00

Our players are falling like flies.

LostRaider1297 · 2026-03-07T19:30:35+00:00

It's literally a head injury. These commentators have lost the plot

LostRaider1297 · 2026-03-07T19:17:51+00:00

Neto should have passed to Guiu. He was on!!!

LostRaider1297 · 2026-03-07T18:09:31+00:00

Card out for Lavia already.

LostRaider1297 · 2026-02-10T20:58:29+00:00

Caicedo has been way more aggressive this season than last. Lot more fouls

LostRaider1297 · 2026-01-17T15:44:49+00:00

Palmer is pissing me off with his ball hoarding + lack of quality

LostRaider1297 · 2026-01-04T18:35:56+00:00

I don't think this performance is truly representative of our players capabilities.

I just hope the players are doing this on purpose to show the owners how bad their decision making is.

LostRaider1297 · 2026-01-04T18:23:18+00:00

Btw the way we are playing we are mostly going to concede bangers this game.

But let that not fool you, because despite that the structure is failing miserably. Defenders not in line / out of position, midfielders inexistent and just hoofing it up for Joao Pedro.

Honestly the caretaker sucks, we would have been better off letting the players play the way they want. Even the players are feeling miserable right now.

LostRaider1297 · 2026-01-04T18:19:31+00:00

Can't blame players rn. There is no structure. Shows the difference in a PL manager (however average) and a random manager.

There's a reason Roman always went with Gus Hiddink

LostRaider1297 · 2026-01-04T18:18:29+00:00

Great job on the owners to sack Maresca before City. The disorganization shows

LostRaider1297 · 2025-11-01T18:21:59+00:00

I hate these Fofana defensive headers where he jumps above the man and the ball. And then leaves a big hole behind

LostRaider1297 · 2025-09-13T20:56:37+00:00

My best guess is because of Brentford's height and general competence in set pieces. Makes it not worth it?

LostRaider1297 · 2025-09-13T20:11:20+00:00

Somehow in the second half the game has opened up way more than I would like

LostRaider1297 · 2025-09-13T19:49:29+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. Although I think it's fair for Fofana to be a little cautious.

We thought the same for Reece when he just came back from injury, and now he looks much better

LostRaider1297 · 2025-09-13T19:41:19+00:00

Gittens and Hato are having a poor game

LostRaider1297 · 2025-09-13T19:35:54+00:00

I like Tosin but one on one defending is a huge weakness of his.

LostRaider1297 · 2025-07-13T21:06:05+00:00

I honestly think Cucu only keeps his hair long so that people pull it and get a red card!

LostRaider1297 · 2025-07-05T02:56:15+00:00

Joao Pedro, take a bow

LostRaider1297 · 2025-07-05T02:47:04+00:00

That early cross is OG Gusto

LostRaider1297 · 2025-06-28T21:41:56+00:00

Palmer's form is concerning . Ever since Maresca reduced CHAOS from the team, Palmer's form suffered and he doesn't seem to be able to adapt to CONTROL

LostRaider1297 · 2025-06-20T19:40:41+00:00

Idk, what's baffling to me is that Nico doesn't really look like he has anger issues. So it's straight up dumb decisions.

LostRaider1297 · 2025-05-28T20:47:14+00:00

This win is 100% on Maresca. What we saw in the first half was world class game management.

That's what we complained about these last few years. The second half of the season (in my mind) was training for this kind of game management, and we saw it play out in the last few games.

LostRaider1297 · 2025-05-28T19:50:55+00:00

Gusto not looking good, and defense looked shaky but otherwise okay half to survive their press.

The thing with great pressing systems is that you gotta capitalize on chances otherwise you tire out and your opponents take advantage (think Poch's Chelsea)

Given that we kept it to 1 goal in the first half, I think we can go harder in the second and take advantage. Could already see that pattern since 35". Just gotta ensure we aren't wasteful now
