Wow, I don't think many of us were expecting such a dominant performance and no doubt Brentford will say they had an off night. Reality is I just think we were far too clever, and good, for them.
Taking nothing away from how we pressed, cleverly sat off a little in midfield to narrow their space and use the ball ourselves, I thought Brentford came and were very naive. They left themselves very open and it reminded me of how Sheff Utd came and played when we disposed of them, playing everything out from the back.
They refused to kick anything long or use an outball and took nearly every free-kick or set play short. As we got right in their faces and stifled their approach they seemed to have no plan B and looked very frustrated.
We played the perfect game. Patient passing and hard work to build a 2-0 lead then second half kept the game tight and used the wings superbly. Adams and Agard were brilliant last night and the former put some quality crosses in.
We'll have the odd stutter l
