Jacob “The Gowler” Gowler and Matt “The Allard” Allard are back digging deep into the numbers and tactics after Brentford’s draw with Crystal Palace and ahead to the final-day clash at Liverpool
They break down how Palace’s box midfield caused problems against Brentford’s shape, the importance of the wing-backs and fullbacks in the game, and ask what tactical tweaks the Bees could have made to gain more control
The pod also revisits the Manchester City match to ask whether the underlying stats painted a different picture to the scoreline, plus a look at Aaron Hickey’s intriguing role in midfield and what it could mean going forward
There’s also a detailed scouting report on Brentford’s new signing Jannik Schuster – what the stats say about the young centre-back, the type of defender Bees fans can expect, and where he fits amongst Brentford’s growing crop of exciting young defensive talent
And with Liverpool up next, The Gowler and The Allard analyse what has gone wrong for them at times this season, where Florian Wirtz could fit into their evolving setup, and the tactical blueprint Brentford could use to get joy at Anfield.
