Why on Earth were 8 of our players so far up? Ridiculous, Tosin has zero presence for such a big guy.

Our play has been attractive to look at but has lacked any end product

Honestly change it at half time get the fullbacks on and get gittens off he’s absolute w**k, give gernacho a chance

Gittens and Hato are not it.

Wow, 19 minutes since we last touched the ball in their area.

I walk quicker than Fofana can run

Maresca thinks a like for like change with make a big difference, but it won't, because his tactics are complete dogsh*t. When you're relying on one or two big chances per game, you're going to drop points.

I said at the time Gittens is a donkey, bench warmer in Germany

I wouldn't even call it attractive. It's ugly keep ball.

Carbon copy of Fulham first half performance and goal conceded. Positive is we have about 300 completed passes in non threatening areas!

Very ugly.. Too slow in transition which hampers the wingers

Let's make no bones about it. This Brentford side are already in a relegation fight with, along with Potter, one of the managers most likely to lose his job soonest. And we have done absolutely fck all against them. I cannot fking stand this managers football philosophy. Its fking abysmal and an absolute eyesore to have to watch.

May as well have no LW at this rate, will be just as useful as Gittens is right now.

Hato losing the ball too much.

Bounanotte zero influence.

Fofana too off pace.

All Maresca. Exactly why you don’t make this many changes. Newcastle away in the league cup all over again.

Too many changes all at once, WHY doesn’t Mayesca learn

Gittens off Garnacho on please. at HT

There's no guile in midfield, just poor play no one knows what to do with the ball

Only positives are Neto and Buonanotte who seem to want to do something with the ball when they get it but it’s not been given to them enough.

So fun and effective to watch. We look so dangerous passing the ball chalobah, to Tosin, to Wes, to Tosin, To Trev, to tosin, to wes, to chalobah, to Tosin, to Wes, to Tosin, To Trev, to tosin, to wes....

Take the piss with the line-up and what do you expect? Seen it time and time again with this team. If you mess around and rest players and play people out of position, we are sh*t.

I do agree, but to be honest I think we've look sh*t all season, including the 5-1 against West Ham who, let's face it, gave us 3 goals.

we have no striker either

Some of the fouls Caicedo manages to win are really impressive.

Worst part of this performance is that Maresca has had most of the team on show for two weeks to prepare for this match

Garnacho and fk it even a injured palmer is better than this crap put on gusto and cucurella on

That was a great passage of play.
