    Not sure what the appeal of TC Haaland this GW was. Brentford aren't as good as they were last season, but having seen them play, they aren't as bad as the table suggests.

      There was none. Yoy don't TC Haaland in an away game.

    5 min break will be handled with 1min injury time like for a Rodri in the first half.

    Would Thiago have scored vs Ederson? I think he just might have or cannot say. Without Rodri MCI gave always one big chance like that last season. However, perhaps Thiago is just a bit too slow?

      No chance, Thiago just couldn’t sort his touch out

    Saka spoke about taking the penalty yesterday:

    "When I grabbed the ball I wanted to take it, so that was my thoughts at the moment."

    Asked if he is staying on pens then, replied:

    "We'll keep our conversations in the house for now. I won't say much more."
