      Sean, I haven’t seen the pen yet, will take a look during the week.

      The Newcastle pens were meant to be very soft too.

      I find it incredibly frustrating when teams kick us at every opportunity and the ref allows it, and then penalises us for the slightest of contact. Just doesn’t make sense. They must walk off the park knowing they haven’t treated both teams equally.

        We absolutely should be outplaying those teams, but that starts by trying. We have not tried all season. Rashford walked around all match today, I just cannot see how that is ETH’s fault. He cannot be asking him to do it.

        I’m not sure anyone else would get this shambles to try to win. And not sure I want them too, just get rid of the players as they don’t deserve to be at the club.

          It was a good game Sean. Mostly for Brentford fans, granted, but it was a good game. Bit strange in that it never really got going, but there was always something happening.

            CM, do you think a different manager would have done better this year?

            No LB all season, no back up striker. Rashford downing tools. Injuries all over the place. No CB pairing.

            We need five players? Maybe more? Surely that looks like the players are shit.

              Southgate is stealing a living. He will still try and take Henderson and Phillips with him. Plus twelve right backs.

                Really strange performance. Knew we’d be up against it with McT starting, but thought we’d have more than that. Disgraceful performance, outplayed throughout.

                Ref was shit and allowed far too many fouls by Brentford to go and then penalised us for less, but that is just expected these days.

                Team looked disinterested from the start.

                  Didn’t deserve to win, but after being a goal up with three mins to play that was a disappointing end!

                    I accept refs get it wrong, and VAR too, but the excuses they come up with to justify the mistakes are ridiculous. If they just said it was a mistake people will move on. Next week a high foot will be a freekick and red card and then it will start all over. Webb says that VAR is not there to re-referee, but it should be.

                      Amad struggled for ages taking his shirt off, then got sent off for it. Someone should have stopped him.

                                  Not sure it wasn’t a foul on Bruno, but there you go.

                                    Good start from us but need that second goal whilst on top. Shame the handball wasn’t given.

                                      Ed beat me to it, clear pen and I get the ‘higher bar in the penalty area’ debate, but there was a very, very soft pen for City against us when they needed one and since then we have had countless similar (if not more contact situations) not given.

                                      The integrity of the game is gone when the owners of a tea pay refs to officiate in leagues in their own countries. They should not be allowed to officiate City matches whilst being paid by City owners. Anyone who has an issue with that needs to give their head a wobble. It is clearly wrong.

                                        Not the best performance from us. Cannot believe the money spent on players in the past few seasons.

                                        Two clear pens and a couple more that would have been given if against us.

                                          I think he doesn’t have the respect of the players. Makes me sick as they are professionals being paid huge sums of money and they just muck about rather than graft.

                                          A lot of that isn’t his fault but he does need to recruit better. Hopefully the new structure allows for that.

                                          Tuchel and Potter are a huge no for me, De Zerbi is someone who could do well but would the players respect him any more that ETH? Another gamble.

                                            I think that is part of the issue Ed, it is no real surprise. People expect that now, it has become the norm for us but it really shouldn’t be.

                                            We had something to defend after the wonder strike, Rashford did go down easily in the build up to their equaliser but there was more contact there then on their pen at OT.

                                            Big summer from us but all the talk appears to be about a huge clear out – which we need, but we also need several positions filled too.
