Brentford 1 Newcastle 2 – Bees Breakdown’s Tactical Breakdown
Beesotted contributors The Gowler and Paul Kowalczyk (@BeesBreakdown) give us the tactical and statistical lowdown of Brentford?s loss against Newcastle
Thomas Frank stuck with the 5-3-2 deployed in the last two matches against Brighton and Manchester United. Brentford were looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Manchester United on Wednesday. The Bees showed they have the quality to go head-to-head with the biggest clubs in the Premier League and this was another chance to showcase their talent.
An unchanged back three of Jansson, Pinnock, and Ben Mee was accompanied by Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey. Jensen and Nørgaard were joined by Dasilva in the midfield, while Janelt was back from injury on the bench. Toney was paired with new signing Kevin Schade, giving Mbeumo some much needed rest.
Newcastle United came out in a 4-3-3 with Isak leading the line. Joelinton and Murphy the wingers and Bruno behind in the ?quarterback? role. Newcastle?s back four consisted of Burn, Botman, Schar, and specialist Trippier. 23rd Minute
