They looked very fast the other night. If there is one thing we do not want to face with our defensive fragility it's a team with pace. They should have won it at the end too.
They have only lost 1 at home all season.
Mbeumo will be licking his lips regardless of which of the two play left back.
When we hit January reinforcements were needed as December, while results were good, we gave up goals aplenty, and that has continued.
The biggest concern is in games where we dominate, teams need to do very little to score against us as we give up easy chances. Its akin to pre Fabinho, we'd play a Burnley, with their 19% possession, and lose 2-0. It's also why Alisson has conceded so many since his return as the chances are clear thus easy to put away. Being open at the back, with no DM, and both full backs there for the taking, every team will look to exploit this.
Have never bet against us and never will, but 5 -1 Brentford seems very generous odds.
Expect Jota to start, and the hope is we outscore them as the likelihood is we will concede at least one.
