I may be wrong, I need to watch it again, but just before Brentford’s goal, it was Wilf that failed to close down on one of their players, he just stood off of him Edited by m/k mick (31 Aug 2022 12.26am)

Why this obsession with replacing players because they are "tired?"

Very dissapointing finish to the game with sloppy defending yet again. Pat got his subs wrong and Brentford could easily have snatched all 3 points at the death. Please don't start Jeff Schlupp at Newcastle.

We are next up at Newcastle on Saturday and with our error prone defence and non existent strikers I fear the worse as we tumble towards the relegation zone!

Have to agree with everyone here. Doucoure is class. Well spotted PV. On the subject of substitutions doesn't Ossian Roberts give his opinion, or is he part of this problem too? Because it almost seems as though PV is being too nice and giving players game time to be fair to them, like a Sunday league match - think Luka.

Doucoure needs a genuine midfielder alongside him, one who really knows his craft and position, not a pseudo inside left pretender or fake number 10 wannabe.

I think Wilfred sums up what happened in his post match interview. He laments why the heck did we switch shape and tactics when we were winning and there were few threats? PV is great for what he's done and is doing but he also needs to "improve" and "be brave". When Olise went off (who was doing a great job helping out in defence I might add) and all the sub changes we lost our shape and became confused and they scored. However, having said that, I don't think it was bad tactics necessarily to have a defensive part of our game - it's just that they need to be organised when doing so. We did awesome first half against City but Mitchell looked a bit jaded. I viewed the footage, and Mitchell had to leave his marker to "TRY" to cover the scorer who was left unattended. Somebody didn't know their role. Brentford were awesome defending BTW and we need to emulate them. Lucky to get a point.

Although frustrating to only get a point hopefully last night highlighted the lack of depth in the squad. We dropped points last night because Brentford’s attacking subs were better than our defensive subs. If we are serious about a top 10 finish we need better options than Luka or Ayew. We have 48 hours left of the window to fix the problem. 2 x central midfielders are absolutely priority. Schlupp is not good enough to be starting and we need a decent alternative on the bench.

Been banging on about this for a long time: our midfield is simply not up to scratch (exception Doucoure). Others think that it's the forward line, but take a closer look and you'll see that the midfield is incredibly thin, not only in numbers but also in depth and quality.
