Okafor playing well, had a few chances. Struijk sloppy for their biggest chance. Never a penalty for me regardless of the offside. Gudmondsson struggling in a few areas, mainly defensively. Perri really needs to sort out his distribution.

I like that he now has the abitily to change it and bringing on Wingers and changing the shape can change the tempo of the game. I never imagined him becoming versatile

After the week we had, most of us will be going into this calmly confident, albeit in london, i would take a point happily but we have a recent dominance and spirit that could take us the three. Either way Farke has relieved the pressure with tactical change and team spirit and resilience. ALAW

We must win the wide battles to service our front two. If Ampadu and Stach dominate midfield, we can control possession and bypass Brentford’s direct play

Injuries: We miss Longstaff (calf) & James (hamstring), and Lukas Nmecha (hamstring) is a major doubt. Brentford is without Schade (Susp.), Carvalho & Dasilva (Inj.). Their likely lineup is strong at home.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is in form, scoring in his last three. He and Noah Okafor must exploit the high line Brentford’s center-backs, Collins and Van den Berg, often hold. Direct runs over the top are our route to goal.

Farke said his change aims for "chaos," using mobile players to surprise teams. Andrews stressed Brentford's "aggressive pressing and quick transitions." Our ability to beat their press defines if we win or concede cheap goals.

Our wing-backs, probably Bogle & Gudmundsson, will face intense pressure from Dango Ouattara and possibly Reiss Nelson. These duels are key: we need Bogle and Gudmundsson to push up to support attack, not just defend.

The most crucial duel is Joe Rodon (or Bijol) vs. Igor Thiago. Thiago has 11 goals, is clinical, and moves intelligently. Rodon's positioning must be flawless to track the striker's runs and deny him space in the box.

This match hinges on midfield control. Our trio, likely Stach, Ampadu, & Tanaka, must overcome Brentford’s engine room, led by Mathias Jensen. Jensen's work rate links their defense to quick counter-attacks.

Our recent form (4pts from 2 vs top teams) shows our newfound resilience. We still struggle away (1 win all season). Brentford's home form is strong (5 wins in 7).

Oh for sure, but he's safe for now. Cannot say I'm not impressed by his turn around, his changes and his ability to make a substitution before the 70. No doubt the players back him. He could always revert but we have seen tactically what we are capable of.

All in all, this has been a week we expected a stubborn manager to lose his job, turns out its probably the bald one instead. For anyone who considers we should still sack Farke, we have scored a collective 8 goals against 3 Billion quids worth of squads.

The internal drama, Mohamed Salah (benched for the third straight game) launched an explosive post match attack. He accused the club of "throwing me under the bus" and claimed his relationship with Slot is "non-existent." Deep cracks exposed by resilient Leeds.

This result piles pressure on Arne Slot, whose side again failed to manage the game and conceded yet another late goal. Serves him right for turning down the leeds job a few years ago, what retribution if this is the game that costs him.

After the 65th-minute subs, Leeds' attacking efficiency skyrocketed. Shots on Target increased by 150%. Our Pass Completion Rate in the attacking third jumped to 82% (from 69%). The changes led to higher-quality chances, overwhelming the defence.

Ao Tanaka is living his best life. After his Chelsea goal, he delivered the dramatic 96th-minute equaliser. Liverpool's set-piece frailty showed; the corner was poorly marked, leaving Tanaka with acres of space to smash the ball home. High-stakes reliability.

Stach's quick transition and clinical equalising goal showcased his superior dynamism. He was the catalyst for our midfield dominance.

Our Man of the Match, Anton Stach, put in an exceptional shift, forcing turnovers against the more static Liverpool pivot, Curtis Jones.
