Why are we worse at home?

It’s very hard to win at home for us, other teams know exactly how we play, and set there team to negate our forward players, which isn’t hard if you only play 3 attacking players.

Sadly Munoz and Mitchell don’t supply our 3 forward players with decent service and of course Wharton is missing :-( Plus our 3 defenders aren’t quick enough to get the ball forward fast enough. The Glasner system doesn’t work at home :-(

Indeed, probably on account of the fact that we were pedestrian, did not move the ball fast enough, we lacked vitality and energy.Us poor supporters travelled in inclement weather and witnessed utter dross.

You have had years of practice, so you shouldn't be surprised.

That isn’t what he wrote tbh.
He’s lightning but getting the ball forward is slow. Munoz was open at least four times on the right on Saturday and not once did defence or keeper pass to him.

Fair enough, fast of feet but not of mind, I stand corrected.
It’s funny how times have changed, central defenders were once there just to defend, now they’re expected to pass the ball like Glen Hoddle or Ray Wilkins. I suppose that’s what Andersen was good at, not the greatest defender in the world imo but he could certainly pick a player out with a forward pass

Better than the combination we've seen before of fast feet and slow legs.

True but from the AW the space Munoz had was huge and I reckon eventually Brentford moved to shut down the middle as they saw he wasn’t getting the ball.
