Bees Breakdown’s Tactical Breakdown – Brentford 0 Arsenal 1
Beesotted contributors The Gowler and Paul Kowalczyk (@BeesBreakdown) give us the tactical and statistical lowdown of Brentford?s loss against Arsenal.
Thomas Frank was, once again, forced into making some changes to his starting XI. Jensen, Collins, and Roerslev all picked up injuries and replaced by Yarmolyuk, Ben Mee and Ghoddos. Brentford?s 3-5-2 saw Wissa and Mbeumo up front, supported by Onyeka, Nørgaard and Yarmolyuk in midfield. Ghoddos and Janelt were the wingbacks, with a back three of Ajer, Pinnock, and Mee. Baptiste and Keane Lewis-Potter made the bench, as they worked their way back from injury.
Arsenal?s 4-3-3 had no surprises, with Martinelli, Jesus, and Saka the front 3. The midfield consisted of Ødegaard, Rice, and Trossard. The usual centreback pairing of Gabriel and Saliba was joined by fullbacks Zinchenko and Tomiyasu. 12th Minute
