That was some game, very open, one of those that you're always feeling like the other team could nick one, as much as we could.
Defensively, in theory we should have the CBs to deal with that kind of direct football, but VVD and Matip struggled. FBs didn't have their best games either with their deliveries. And think TAA might need to lay off the free kick duty for a bit, thats a few over recent matches he hasn't come close with.
Few times they overloaded TAA on his side/post with crosses, not sure why we didn't try to deal with that a bit better.
Midfield thought we did OK, and Jones was my MOTM - no idea why he was taken off. Goal was deflected, but he had the balls to have a go and hit it well.
Up front, wasteful again and cost us a couple of points this time. Salah and Jota should maybe have had more. Mane again not great. I'd have taken him or Jota off instead of taking off Jones.
In saying all that, Brentford we really good, big strong lads, but they can play a bit too.
Disappointing not to get all 3 points, but at least we got the 1
