Kristoffer Ajer

Me and Karl touched on this on the most recent Scouted.

You know, Kristoffer Ajer went there, had injury problems, but they stuck with him and now he's playing really well.

Keane Lewis-Potter went there and frankly didn't look a Premier League player for a couple of years, but they didn't panic.

They didn't try and rush anything.

So Besotted is the website I think that this k- th- this guy works, so Bee Sorted that this guy w- uh, runs.

So they've had five different Man of the Match winners over the first six games.

Um, Caoimhin Kelleher has been one of them, Kevin Schade, Ajer, like I mentioned, having stepped in when Van den Berg and Collins were both out through injury, and then Sangare who obviously was the, the big money signing in the summer.

I think it's a club record fee.

Oh, 'cause they're playing Dujmovic left back, aren't they?

So their, their previous 11 against Villa was Kelleher, Kayode, Dujmovic, Ajer, Schuster, don't know who he is.

Uh, Jannik Schuster.

Never heard of him.

... seemed to happen here.

Um, even people like Kristoffer Ajer was, like, obviously highly rated when he came to them, but couple of seasons with injury, he was in and out the team.

When they switched formations, he wasn't necessarily alway- always in the lineup.

But these players are now playing really, really important roles for them.

I think he'll, he'll offer a bit of defensive cover as well.

Um, and also one of the things I, I'd be tempted to do, and it's not an attacking solution if he's fit, but if he's fit, I think this is a game where we could see why we're bringing Kristoffer Ajer in.

I just think with how their midfield is, just giving us that bit of solidity then to allow players like George and Grealish to express and Doucoure to express themselves further up the pitch could be really helpful.

Because it's not, that's not a criticism of either James Garner or of Harrison Armstrong.

Um, if, if Robinson is indeed out, then you're gonna see Castagna and Sessegnon likely, and I think both of them could be decent against Hull.

Um, and then Ajer, for some reason, is still out there in a lot of leagues.

He's been just absolutely killing it, like, on fire.

His, his scores are ridiculous.

So yeah.

[laughs]

Uh, I think that Ajer could be a, a really decent play again, um, this, this game week.

So there you have it.

So goals for Nicholas Jackson, so good player pick there.

And, um, other goals from McGinn, Mbeumo, and Ajer.

So Ajer I took out of my wild card, uh, or out of my team on my wild card, so that kinda sucks.

But any thoughts on the games?

Oh, McGinn doing McGinn things, right?

Yeah, in the games you don't expect him, he's always got a goal coming.

Mm.

And Ajer.

And, uh, and, and there's nothing wrong with the defenders.

I mean, Kristoffer Ajer scored last week, didn't he? And, um, he was in many game week one teams and is still, is still producing the performances.

Yeah, so there's a lot of, um, a lot of, uh, stuff to like in Brentford, I think, going forward.

And they're, once they've got the Liverpool game out of the way, their fixtures do, do pick up nicely.
