Not sure if really unlucky, there were 20 minutes in the 2nd half where Man City was really looking like they were going to score a 3rd one. But impressive gamee from Brentford indeed.
I’m surprised they’re so high in the ladder at the moment, I see they went under new management recently, is this why?
Last season half the starters were injured. We were absolutely ravaged. Barely made it out of relegation. So I think (even though we already now have 3 injured forwards) were going to do a decent bit better this season. Also the fact we had easyish fixtures helps.
I mean Man City def has better quality, but Brentford managed to play well, and do good both in posession and XG, beating man city, which is impressive.
Interesting!
Ah, I had forgotten about xG, makes sense!
