It will have been 16 days since we saw what football at the top end of things could look like by Arsenal, who made us look second class citizens in footballing terms.

This game is unusual this season, in so far as the bookies have us down as favourites to win.  Monday nigth, under the lights....but how empty will the bowl be.  With a boycott planned, kids for a quid, general sale tickets up for cheap, and Nuno's first home game, the atmosphere and attendance is anyone's guess.

Injuries wise, our Big Fucking German is big fucking injured again...reducing the options up front to the two Callum's.  Nuno chose to save ~86k in wages last time out, preferring the pace and mobility of Marshall over Wilson, and it will be interesting to see if he does the same thing here, or goes for a 'makeshift' centreforward.  And of course Soucek is back.

Other than that, there are no fresh concerns reported going into the weekend.

Predicted Starting Lineup: Subs: Hermansen, KWP, Igor, Potts, Guilherme, Marshall, Rodriguez, Wilson, Scarles

Predicted Score: 1-0 (Soucek)

Three defenders on

We were getting bullied by a very physical side. We are so passive as a team. I’ve never seen such a rudderless collection of players before. Brentford weren’t doing anything special, just long balls like a team from the Eighties. We made it so easy for them.

If we must play one of these shit fucking scared of heading a football pathetic excuse of centre halfs, you have to have a head on everything centre half alongside them. Mavropanos has to play with one of these pricks.

I’d rather play neither. Kilman is pitiful. Embarrassing fucker.  

What's the thinking with this ridiculous Scarles at right back when we've got two much better options fit and ready to play?

Scarles, Todibo, Paqueta and Irving off please. Diouf, Mavro, Wilson and fucking Magassa on FOR FUCKS SAKE NUNO. 

They look much fitter and stronger than us. You just never think we’re gonna win a 50/50 with this squad. 
I don’t think our slow midfield pairing is helping. 

would just put on the most creative players and have a go now. We’ll lose it anyway if we don’t change that team. 
AWB on, Diouf on, Mengassa and Wilson. 
Take Scarles, soucek and Irving,
KWP off 

Can anyone name a worse centre half than Kilman. Bill green possibly. 

Those 2 weeks he spent with the players was clearly well spent.

This is what happens when you employ redundant managers rather than pay compensation and get in people like Silva.

I’d take Lampard over this cսnt.

we're fucked. it wouldn't be fair though on the managers I've slagged off, if i didn't say this is just more of the same dull, negative fucking shit


all that's improved is better press conferences

Any danger we can try playing with a CF? And fullbacks playing on the proper side?

im guessing a CB who attacks the ball is too much to ask?

0-2 would probably have been a fairer reflection 
Being completely outplayed 
Need something drastic … full backs on the correct side & a centre forward would be a start

Totally gutless performance. Disgusting

0,09 expected goals

40% vs 60% possession 
3 vs 15 shots 

The ONLY decent thing to come out of this woefully inept performance, is the fact that any organised demos/boycotts in the future may be better supported.
Still, at least we’ll probably get to play ‘wall next season.

Fuck knows what Nuno was thinking sticking Walker-Peters and Scarles on the wrong sides of the pitch. Bonkers decision based on fuck all logic. Over elaborate shite for no reason.

Nuno is trying to be too clever here. The inverted full-backs have been a disaster. And those two centre backs can’t play together at all. Both utter shite. Paqueta is not a #9 and never will be. Irving is not a Premier League player.

Play your best players in their best positions. It’s coaching 1.01.

AWB on at right back, Scarles/Diouf over on the left, Paqueta back into midfield and Wilson through the middle. Thanks.

At least look like a fucking football team.

It's an Avram Grant year with a much worse team. This is like a surrender, and it's not the first time this has been like this has been going on for a long time. It's painful to watch

Same old story. Fast start, fail to capitalize and the other team turn the screw. Massive let off and it could change the game but to be honest we don’t look remotely like scoring.

We are going down, this is the worse side I’ve seen in 50 years of support. 

Bin him off tonight and let Robson and Potts take it till the end of the season. Absolute cսnt.

Put the full backs on the correct flanks, bring on Magassa and Marshall for Soucek and Irving with Paqueta going back to midfield. 

surely. 

Lucky with VAR. We are fucked this season. Can't remember a pair of worse centre backs, make the likes of Gary Breen and Callum Davenport look good. Midfield is non existent. Was hoping for something from Fernandes and Magassa in the opening games but so far no better than what we already have. May as well put Walker Peters in midfield as at least he runs about. Who do you bring on? I'd probably swap the maximum but with who?

Scabs boo them off at half time. Disgrace on so many levels 

Brentford paid £30 million for Thiago.

Who would have thunk that picking an absurd starting lineup would result in us getting battered all game with about 3% possession against a fellow struggling team? Wholesale changes needed at half time. Idiotic from Nuno.
