Absolutely sick inside. I don't even have words to complain about something specific.

Play was disjointed up forward, too slow, missing passes,  crosses just gave the keeper catching practice.

As out of form Muniz is, both him and Raul desperately suffer from a lack of service, Raul was all the way up near RB trying to get a touch on the ball. A Spark is desperately needed

For a team that are already on the beach I think that's a decent point.

I believe this side without the right signings in the summer,will be in big trouble next season.

The system of play adopted by Silva, just is not working. Far too predictable, and I am not sure even the players buy into it.

How he's starting Muniz before Raul has me baffled.

Frustrating game this, v BFC.  No shots on goal.  Can't score unless you can find the target.

To be honest, happy with the away point.  With all the easy giveaways and poor passing, in this league, you normally get punished.  And luckily we weren't.  Still very very dodgy defending corners.  BFC had any number of free/half chance headers.  Every corner taken is a heart attack.....

Yeh we could have prime R9 up top and he'd be firing blanks in this set up currently. We are creating absolutely nothing for the strikers of late

Doubt it would matter what system of play Silva adopts, it won't work if your players can't pass the ball properly 5 yards. That is down to them not Silva.

Neither get the service they should be getting but  Raul is leaving and just needs to keep ticking over so he can give everything at the WC.
If he leaves he can get a nice signing on fee, Fulham doesn't want to pay that for an older player.

Muniz needs game time to get back to match fitness, next pre season starts here for him after a long lay off.

Not saying I agree but that's what I think is happening.

Really, who broke our transfer record to sign Smith-Rowe  ? Who spent over £30 million on Oscar Bobb ? Who wants us to spend £25 million on Chukwueze?
All 3 brought in to create openings, not one of them could open a letter,
Sorry but it's very much down to Marco Silva,  why wouldn't it be ?

Of course it is down to Silva, he picks the team, he chooses the system which provides such a slow tempo, it makes Parker ball look ambitious.
The reason why the players are not buying into It is because it is not playing to their strengths.
Not enough support for the man on the ball.
Whoever is playing up front gets isolated, and we have no fox in the box.
Brentford are a decent team and to draw away to them keeping a clean sheet is a positive away from home, but that is thanks mainly to Leno who kept goal very well.

Let's not use ifs or maybes. We will get relegated without a decent transfer window.

Glad I then watched England Red Roses Rugby women crush Scotland to pulp on their own ground. 84 - 7 including 12 tries. That was proper commitment where players played for each other and no feigning injury.

I've been going to their Twickenham games with my daughter, it's a great day out.

If you register on the RFU site they have a ticket presale with Cat 4 tickets only costing £15, excellent value.

Still seems strange when they say a player isn't playing due to pregnancy.

I can't figure out what Silva is playing at.. I felt we'd found our best 11 over the Christmas period and then he just changed it and hasn't consistently played our best team since.

I appreciate bobb and King are talents, but they're not the best in my opinion, yet, for their positions and we struggle to score when King is in the hole. We did at the start of the season, and now he's back in the team we're struggling again.


For me, when all fit, our best team is

Leno

Tete
Andersen
Bassey
Robinson

Wilson
Lukic
Iwobi
Chukwueze

Smith rowe

Jimenez


Why do we not play that team is beyond me, at this point it just seems so clear that the above team would get us the best results and the biggest proven attacking threat .


With a variable of 442 or 433
