Summary

The Anfield Wrap free podcast looking back over Brentford 3 Liverpool 3 in the Premier League at the Brentford Community Stadium. Neil Atkinson hosts John Gibbons, Rob Gutmann and Mike Kearney... Brentford 3 Liverpool 3... a) A missed opportunity. b) A crazy game. c) Emotions seemed to play a massive part to me; Liverpool got swept along repeatedly. Embracing chaos may sometimes be good but not in that one. d) The equaliser at 3-3 felt a bridge too far. None of the back six play well... a) And they have been playing very well. Defensive line a clear problem. b) Credit to Brentford and especially Toney/Mbuemo whose movement was excellent. c) Liverpool aren't good at the bits. Brentford centre mid three very compact. d) Brentford get encouragement early, just as it looks like Liverpool will be putting the hammer down. e) Encouragement is a thing. Every single time it feels like Liverpool have the game where they want it, they give Brentford a reason to believe. f) e.g. the save from Diogo Jota. The chances Liverpool have... a) And chances to find chances. b) Scoring three away from home should be enough. c) However I understand needing to get two clear. The Mo Salah and Sadio Mane double chance. d) Again, encouragement. The sub... a) He makes it because he was making it. b) Leads to our best period of the game. But... c) He can make two more and had a really good bench. d) Mad game to come into, I grant you. The state of play... a) Manchester United and Chelsea also dropping points. b) All roads to next weekend. Porto then... a) Manchester City on the horizon. Changes to be made? b) Porto deserved to beat Atletico away if anyone deserved to win that game. Not mugs.

0:08.9	to predominantly discuss Brentford 3, Liverpool 3.
0:11.8	We will touch on Porto as well. Everything to come for
0:15.5	you in the next sort of 50 minutes or so around that. Brentford 3, Liverpool 3,
0:20.3	John. For me, almost composing me thought in the writing of this agenda as much as anything else,
0:25.2	one of the areas I ended up was firstly this is a missed opportunity for Liverpool, but there's something
0:29.9	else that happens in this game that hasn't happened in Liverpool seasons in 1819 and 1920 which was any
0:35.6	moment they could find a way to give the opposition a degree of encouragement.
0:39.7	My God did they oblige whether it's through missing their own chances or the flip side of eliciting
0:46.1	great saves from goalkeepers or just making a bit of a defensive error or just not doing
0:50.3	the right thing. They managed to do everything they could to make Brentford believe they were in the game.
0:54.0	Yeah, I think that's fair. There's lots of ways to kill a football game and we didn't
0:57.6	choose any of them. Well, we had a go with some of them but didn't
1:00.4	effectively source of, you know, go through with it and obviously the one eventually, you know,
1:05.2	the eventually plump four is it won't well score off to four from win it and we're not able to do that.
1:09.6	But there was other things that we could have done Jordan that game to sort of kill it.
1:13.0	You know, if not kill it completely then at least, you know, quieting everything down for
1:16.2	sort of five, ten minutes and and they chose not to both in terms of,
1:20.4	of, you know, the guys who are out on the pitch but also the manager changes maybe he could have made
1:25.2	and sort of elected not to. And yeah, it's just a bit of a frustrating one as you say we haven't had many games like that in the last
1:31.5	sort of couple of years. There's been a couple of signs that
