Yes it would be unfair, having criticised Hernandez for his passing last
night, not to mention Philips. I thought Philips battled hard and as you say
did a lot of mopping but his distibution was terrible at times.

I enjoyed the game, and good for my six year old to get a win for his first
game at Elland Road. Another LUFC sufferer has joined the ranks!
Personally, I thought Bamford did OK against a back three on his own, but was
always going to struggle especially when Pontus has briefed Brentford so well
on exactly how we play. First half we weren’t able to pass and rotate out of
defence to midfield and attack - credit to Brentford for easily spotting and
killing every midfield rotation. Not helped by Pablo’s atrocious passing.
Phillips had to mop up continually, almost playing as a third centre half most
of the game. Not quite got the passing to be the Yorkshire Pirlo yet mind.
When Costa and Eddie came on we switched formation with two up front, and
allowed Alioski to push further up. 4 against 3 did the trick, and I believe
it’s Bamford’s brilliant movement that draws two defenders to the near post
allowing Eddie to tap in from well inside the far post.
