Nketiah: The same two weeks in a row.

We should buy Ivan Toney

Doesn't suit the way we play. All the issues he caused today were route one balls down the middle, we don't play that way.

This zinchenko in MF needs to be scrapped now.

It's been figured out

not for Man City, he should play

Jesus has much more to his game than nketiah, that’s what we’re missing up there, especially in games like today. Nketiah is probably a better finisher than Jesus, but Jesus fits our general play better. Nketiah generally isn’t quite the right player for how we’d ideally want to play, and he can’t really adapt his game when things aren’t going his way.

Calling him crap is over the top, he won’t be a top level player, but can certainly be useful in the right set up.

What Arteta was doing right in the first part of the season was rotating Tierney and Zink or subbing either of them for the other after 60ish mins. He seems to have stopped doing that.

Today and Everton looks like we needed a Tierney instead of a Zinchkenko.

The goal conceded today was ridiculous, it was a Sunday league goal - Adams, Keown, Campbell - they deal with that free kick today or one of the 3 subsequent aerial duels.

I don’t think you can begrudge the result though - Brentford looked well worth their point today

I thought Zinchenko was excellent again, I don't see him as the problem, we didn't have ANYBODY on the field who looked like they could beat a player - with the possible exception of Saka.
I thought Trossard made a difference when he came on - not sure what is happening with Martinelli, I don't see Zinchenko with him as a problem, the truth is one on one Martinelli is just not going past people.

I thought zinchenko was poor today, his distribution in attack wasn’t up to his usual standards, quite a few misplaced crosses and simple passes. Not digging him out too much because he did well other in his other jobs, but some of his game was missing today. Bit of a mix of an off day and him getting figured out.

The left wasn’t functioning well at all today, been a bit of a pattern of the last couple games. Need to try something different there. Tiereny or Trossard should get a go to mix it up a bit, we’ve got this squad depth for moments such as this

You are correct, it was ridiculous. Ridiculous that two offsides were ignored by Lee "Manc" Mason.

We were very comfortable up to that point as well. Brentford played well in the 1st half but in the 2nd half it was all us and only one team deserved to win the game and that was us.
