  • We didn’t seem to get settled in the first half. Ramsdale was dropping howlers, we weren’t progressing all that great.

    Second half better, but Brentford absolutely packed the box and we struggled to get clear chances. Ramsdale got better but didn’t have much to do. Trossard did not impress in midfield, think it was the wrong game to expect a positive performance from him.

    Havertz gave us another dimension, we were crying out for better height in midfield all game and ultimately that became the game winner for us in the last moments.

    Overall a frustrating game but a hard won 3 points






  • That’s the position he should be playing long term but circumstances requiring him at #8 are not necessarily bad in the short term.

    Partey / Rice worked well when we saw it. If Rice can break lines like Thomas then we are truly set

    There is potential with Trossard 8 but today was not the game that moved the needle positively. Needs to be at the Emirates and not against a giant team. We didn’t look settled at all and Trossard was getting pickpocketed a lot imo. Felt like he joined the static attacking line more instead of dropping deep to pick up the ball
