Brentford are fascinating

So tactical. So professional. So cynical. Great big units trundling around. Risk minimised. Opportunity maximised. Every marginal gain exploited. Referee gamed ruthlessly. Weaknesses found and exploited. Diving. Complaining. Manufacturing free kicks. No opportunity missed to commit a minor cynical foul. Time wasted whenever possible.

11th in the Prem and it’s all so…industrial. No thought. No beauty. No inspiration. Just patterns, systems and probabilities. Grind out the result. Clean sheets. 45 points without fail.

Just a metaphor for the modern game. Wringing out every iota of utility. Zero love.
