Just got back, just seen goals on replay.

Observations....

1) we won the game with less possession than the opposition
2) we scored all 3 after winning the ball and getting into the scoring position quickly with minimal passes
3) we worked hard to win the ball back and have chances quickly rather than ponderously passing it about for 50-60 passes on the whole
4) our defending scared me
5) despite mostly dominating, Brentford could have got something out of the game until the very end
6) I don't understand how our defending is so comical
7) heard most areas sing Johnson off the pitch..... and some idiots behind me twisting the words to moan about him being weak
8) all round improvements, well done team.
Didn't need to walk around with the clipboard though, eh? 🤣

I don't mean to put a downer on today's game, or Maddison. But, generally, I don't like and can't understand why players take their shirts off during a game. They're fully aware that it means that they will get a yellow card for doing it.
In the case of Maddison, that's his 2nd yellow in 5 PL games, another 3 yellows and he'll miss a game. Hopefully it's not a big game.

It’s a stupid rule but while it’s in force it’s also stupid risking getting a yellow card and Maddison should know better
 
For all the negativity on this board at the moment, I think we are very unlucky not to be on 11 points this evening. Apart from Coventry, we have generally played very well. If we can generate real momentum over the next few games we could have a great season.

Thomas Frank on the Vicario hand ball

"Not only looked, he had handled it outside the box, but that incident did not define the game," said Brentford manager Thomas Frank.

"It was a mistake. It could have been a free-kick to us. It could have helped us. But, hey, you never know.

Fair enough, no issues with that. respect to him, good bloke, good coach.
