Michael Kayode

A couple of Brentford options for you.

Michael Coyote and Christopher Aya.

Coyote hit Defcon against Hull.

He's got 1.3 expected goal involvements for the season as well and has scored for the club this season.

Brentford have conceded more than one expected goal in just one of their four home games and they're taking on a Nottingham Forest side this weekend who are the lowest scorers in the league so if you are going to back a team to keep a clean sheet this weekend you could do a lot worse than back brentford and christopher ayah is another option and another route into their back line he's got three defcon returns and had three near miss defcon returns over the course of the season so far those three near misses were all by one defensive contribution hit the nine tally and just missed out on the 10 threshold tally, which would have given him those extra points.

Did you almost sense before the game that this Liverpool side were there for the taking? And did you almost expect Brentford to at least get a point from the game?

I think so when I spoke to a few people there at Brentford they were like we're actually the favourites which they were Brentford were put down as the favourites to win that game and going off the first 45 minutes without before setting off Brentford were the better team they looked like the team that were going to go on and score a second goal and the likes of Barcola was being dominated by Coyote and right back and Verts actually played pretty well in the first half he was creating a lot of chances but there were still times where you could see Areola's pressing wasn't to where he wanted as Brentford were able to get out from the back and break the lines Brentford were very good value for being in the lead they could have went on to have a second but then obviously the sending off happened and Liverpool got into the game after the second half

It was such a stupid red card on the stroke of half time from Yarmuluk.

If you were his teammate and following the game, seeing that you lost 2-1, especially when you maybe sensed Liverpool were there to take him, would you be fuming with him? Would there be words had in the changing room? It

So that's the worrying fact for me.

And the other one was, he's quick, he's strong.

He didn't run at Coyote once.

He kept coming inside.

I know.

But I did think in that first half, Dango and Coyote were combining quite well down the right-hand side.

And Dango, we spoke about in the last episode, he's been a bit of a touchpoint amongst Brentford fans this season.

He only had 45 minutes because of the red card, and we're going to get to that shortly.

I don't think we would have made any changes.

And I thought, yeah, he linked up with Thiago.

He did decently as well, as well as with Coyote.

So getting back there, you could, tell, you know, he's not at his free-flowing best.

And he's got the physical defensive attributes of an Arujo.

I think Coyote would be a perfect player to come into this Liverpool squad, bring more athleticism, bring more aggression in there as well.

So I know it's a long way from the January transfer window, but if there's one player Liverpool could pinch from that Brentford team, other than Keller, who I would still have, it would definitely be Coyote.

So a good win for Liverpool.

I think it was a massive win after the Man City defeat in the Premier League.

This is gonna be a really tough contest.

And we mentioned before, set pieces a little bit and Michael Kayode, what he brings.

Don't forget, Liverpool scored one, big Ron, but not in the Premier League.

So we haven't con- scored one, we haven't conceded one in the Premier League.

They're joint third.

Yeah? Their XG created is four, they're top for that.

Yeah? 25% of Brentford's goals have come from set pieces, and you know Michael Kayode.

Yeah? This is not going to be an easy game by any means.

Yeah, like you said, you can't really give anything away against Brentford, especially at home when they're at home.

'Cause Damsgaard, Kayode, they'll...

Anywhere on the pitch where they can put a ball into the box, it's a danger.

Going in.

Maybe we drew 3-3.

Anyway, my mind's gone blank on the actual result, but I remember we conceded a set piece having had two set piece goals disallowed against us, and it was like, well, it's, it's going to happen, you know what I mean? That's how dangerous they were.

But Kayode's throw in has to be the best in the business right now.

Because it's not just the distance, it's the trajectory, and it's the pace it comes in at.
