Tactical breakdowns of Brentford FC ┃ Beesotted.com Contributor┃

Brentford constantly vary buildup but this has to be my favourite. Completely bypasses the press and there's space in-behind to attack.

Flekken -> Mbeumo -> Nørgaard

Damsgaard pins defenders and creates space for Nørgaard to then play a progressive pass.

Can we talk about Wissa's run?

What an effort to get Brentford's third.

Kayode and Yarmoliuk start.

Yarmoliuk is not only press resistant but adds to Brentford’s rest defence on set plays.

Great example of how effective off ball blocking can be. Damsgaard prevented Martinelli from marking Kayode right before Brentford's goal.

No surprises here

Yarmoliuk in for Nørgaard

Pinnock in for Sepp. Expect Pinnock and Collins to press Vardy and El Khannouss high up the pitch.

Brentford hold on to the three points but these shot maps from the first and second half tell it all

Ange insisting on building out of the back also allows for more errors (Tottenham are 3rd for errors in the Prem). This not only bypasses the midfield but Ange's high line makes it difficult to defend these balls into the box.

Other than injuries....one of their biggest issues is transitional moments. Sending numbers forward routinely allows opposing teams to bypass their midfield completely.

Assuming this is a 4-4-2 out-of-possession with Yarmoliuk and Damsgaard wide, but curious if the Bees slide into the box midfield we’ve seen in the past.

Love to see Rico back.

Excited to see a bit more of Ji-soo and Maghoma.

Yarmolyuk and Janelt rotate with Jensen and Schade
January 4, 2025 at 1:49 PM
Flekken and Sepp back in the starting XI with Jensen on the bench.

Big role for Janelt today.

Quick breakdown leading up to Forest's goal:

Anderson dropped to get on the ball without Norgaard pressing. CHO slipped into the half-space between the lines. Neco's forward run down the wing took Ajer with him, opening up space for CHO.

Too easy to bypass Bee's midfield.

Mee slides in for Pinnock. Glad to see Ajer starting.

Big loss for the Bees with Thiago out due to a minor injury.

Limits Brentford’s variation in buildup.
December 15, 2024 at 6:09 PM
Thiago, Carvalho, and Yarmo get the start. Ajer on the bench.
December 7, 2024 at 1:48 PM
Schade replaces Janelt. Should get Damsgaard a bit more involved.
