This last 10 minutes have been nuts. Chelsea literally can't get out of their half.

Brentford have played extremely well against Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal. They're a great watch.

Amazing how these top teams often can't handle some old school lower league up and at them up in the air football.

I think Brentford have been a better addition to the league than Leeds were last season.

100%. They don't play suicidal football and still look good. They have great balance.

Mendy is saving Chelsea's ass hard. De Gea has some company.

Brentford went from 3 shots 0 on target to 12 shots 6 on target in the space of 20 mins. It's like they just flicked a switch.

I swear I'm watching Ole's Man Utd and De Gea. What happened to Tuchel? :eek:

Super game. Brentford remind me of classic United when we'd go behind and just set up a siege against the opposition.

Yep, agreed.

Wonder if Frank is on Newcastle's radar...
Apparently he got asked about Newcastle and said he’s happy where he is. Honestly I’d gamble on him at United, it’s like Harry190 said above this is like old school United.

Well, they may have lost the game, but they've won our hearts. And as we all know, that's all that matters in football

That is an absolute steal. Fair play to Brentford - what a fantastic addition to the PL.

We were very lucky.

TFW your second side are better than Utd :lol:

I wonder who their versions of Mahrez / Kanye etc are. Toney is amazing for me, Spurs should get rid of Kane in Jan and go for Toney in the summer.

Mendy down for at least a minute, James down for two. Referee adds 50 seconds :rolleyes:

Even with Brentford all over them they still defend miles better than we do. :lol: :(
They defended like shit in the last 20 minutes. Mendy made multiple saves and earned MOTM. Brentford should have earnt a point at least.

I agree but a clean sheet away to Brentford with none of our first choice back 3 is a fantastic result. Brentford were quality.

Well they clearly aren't because we're on 14 points while Brentford are languishing on 12. Brentford can but merely look upwards at our might and dare to dream.

We dominated the first 65 minutes. Brentford somehow flicked a switch and upped the intensity by 1000% and we just couldn't handle it. Not sure how they didn't score at least once.
