Former Newcastle United man Alan Shearer has chosen to praise Brentford for how they fared in their game against Arsenal today.
Thomas Frank’s side was full of confidence in the fixture and eventually earned a deserved draw.
All eyes were on Arsenal as the Gunners sought to get back to winning ways and maintain a healthy lead at the top of the league table.
But Brentford had other plans and ended the fixture without a defeat, so they remain unbeaten in the league in their last ten games.
Their performance impressed Shearer and he tweeted:
“Brentford were brilliant today at Arsenal. What a season they’re having.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Considering how they answered most of the questions we asked, we could say Brentford deserved to get something from this fixture.
The Bees did well, but we did not play to a higher standard, which is why we dropped points in the game.
The boys must learn from this and get back to winning ways because we need to if we are to save our title challenge from crumbling.
We did not expect them to win every game this season, but the longer we go without winning a match, the harder it will be to win one.
Credit to Brentford performance they had played against us better than Newcastle.
All credit to Lee Mason (VAR) for being inept (or maybe pissed) & allowing their goal to stand.
Why not reflect that Arsenal were lucky that Brentford missed so many chances. That gamer could have easily been 3-1 to Brentford.
If other clubs can’t take tehir chances it’s not Arsenal’s fault.
As things played out, the result should’ve been 1-0 to Arsenal, at least up to the point of Tooney’s “goal”.
Total incompetence from the officials yet again.
It wasn’t even difficult – Gabriel was clearly impeded by a player who was offside (2 offences right there) and the header down to a player who was also offside who then crossed it for Tooney.
3 offences and they can’t spot any of them in 3 minutes. They need to train some new people on VAR because this bunch are either incompetent beyond redemption, biased or corrupt.
P.S. Brighton goal at Palace also wrongly disallowed by VAR.
When I look at the decisions over the seaon there’s about 7 points Arsenal has dropped due to VAR errors.
The one yesterday = 2 points.
The Newcastle penalty = 2 points.
The Man Utd decision (3 points) to chalk off the goal tht would’ve put us 2-1 up. That one made it to the list of 6 “match changing” errors.
Yes, you can say that the games were not over at that stage (Newc one would’ve been) but there’s every chance of 9 points instead of 2 from those games.
I can’t think of a single VAR error that benefitted Arsenal.
