I would guarantee you in training, they're hitting the back of the net for fun.
The problem is, training and games are two different animals.
You know, you can set up in training, you know, ideally what you want is repetitiveness, right?
And that means you're setting training up, you're doing exercises so that your forwards and your attacking players are hitting the back of the net so that when they go into the game, they're confident.
But of course, unfortunately, when you go into the game, the opposition stick people in front of you.
And the opposition do things that you're not supposed to do.
And so it completely changes the whole thing.
But the biggest worry for me is there's no combinations with the forward players, really.
You know, it's all individual stuff.
And when it's all individual stuff, then the percentages just go down in terms of creating chances and scoring goals.
And then when you can't defend...
then it just needs one break, and all of a sudden, you drop two points.
It's not even a big story anymore, is it?
Well, we saw how they're going to play against Arsenal midweek.
And so, unless you're so dominant and then you're creating and taking your chances, you're leaving yourself open.
And a team like... I don't think we give Brentford enough...
Enough kudos that they actually play some good football.
We know that they compete and we know that they'll play the ball forward early if it needs to be.
