I saw 2 instances in which it was jota playing everyone on in replays, from set pieces, Robbo had been detailed to pick someone up on Trent's side in both instrances I saw, the main issue that game was simple, Brentford creating 3v2's v Matip and Virgil through Toney getting some joy off both and Fabinho ball watching the long ball and not tracking their midfield runner who was setting off to make that 3 as soon as every long ball was launched, it was a very definite and obvious tactic they must have tried over 20 times, at every opportunity in that game, it needed a No6, a midfielder in the centre
I expect Fab to be far better v City, they'll try and play through, he's a destroyer, that's his game, playing as a No6 or a DM against long ball football with a striker whose good in the air and can actually get some joy out of Virgil and Matip is absolutely not
