Beesotted contributors The Gowler and Paul Kowalczyk (@BeesBreakdown) give us the tactical and statistical lowdown of Brentford’s loss against Manchester City.

Beesotted contributors The Gowler and Paul Kowalczyk (@BeesBreakdown) give us the tactical and statistical lowdown of Brentford’s loss against Liverpool.

Manchester City arrive at the Gtech on Monday night, having seemingly already started their traditional second-half-of-the season winning surge. The Premier League champions have won their last eight games in all competitions and have their major stars returning from injury. After three consecutive substitute appearances, Kevin de Bruyne made his first start against Burnley on Wednesday. And Erling Haaland returned as a substitute in that match – leading to speculation he may make his first start since early December against us. Haaland will have a point to prove as we are the only Premier Lea ..read more

Beesotted contributors The Gowler and Paul Kowalczyk (@BeesBreakdown) give us the tactical and statistical lowdown of Brentford’s win against Nottingham Forest.

The back three consisted of Collins, Pinnock, and Mee, supported by wingbacks Roerslev and Lewis-Potter. The midfield trio was Damsgaard, Janelt, and Jensen, with Brentford missing Nørgaard to injury. The king, Ivan Toney, returned and captained the squad ..read more
