Shithousey at its finest tonight. God if you have high blood pressure watching us will push you over the edge. A stomping 2nd half comeback but we will forever not make it easy for ours just madness at times this is what we wanted though like a pinball machine and rollercoaster rolled into one!

I have to say Toney would be great asset, has certainly made Brentford tick again. Werner stepped up 2nd half with an assist as well. Let's roll onto the next adventure, love it! COYS!

I'm not asking Ange to go full defensive or anything but maybe just telling the fullbacks to get back in position and focus on defending rather than acting as extra forwards when we're 3-1 up wouldn't be the worst decision.
But I think that is the point of his tactic which is to not rest on our laurels and continue playing aggressively and not rely on a 3-1 result.

Midfield was too static and one paced first half due to factors (mainly injury)

we were much better when Kulu moved in behind Richy with Madison as he has more room to work in there with options around him.

While there was a lot of sloppy and panicked play the positives were more minutes for Maddison, Bentancur and Mickey.

Sarr comes straight back in for me. We've missed his energy and non stop running, movement and covering for Porro.

Madders speak so well, just comes across as a fan of the game as well as a lovely bloke.

Toney spent a lot of time offside. I think it really put us off when passing back. It also doesn't help when the ref and linesman keep on playing despite an offside.

Oof. Still haven't decided it I'm feeling exhilarated, depressed, optimistic, or pessimistic after this. At least it was memorable and totally worth the travel and expense. And a top four win! Thank you London, thank you Spurs. As we say in Greece, εις το επανιδείν!

Had to google that one, fair play to the Greeks!

As I say, not asking him to stop playing aggressively just be sensible. You can still play attacking football with the fullbacks not solely playing upfront. The huge gaps in the fullback areas were a problem across the whole game but especially when Brentford were chasing the game hard.

It's good that we are willing to fight and scrap but when it's at the expense of keeping the ball and calmness in possession then it will have limited returns..

Really needed a cool head out there to get us up the pitch because we turned that into a much harder game than it should've been.
