    Lovely one touch finish for Brentford today. They're up to seventh now and his form is playing a major part in their run up the table. Really starting to deliver on all the early promise now.

    You don't want to take these statistical ratings sites too seriously, but notable all the same that he was rated by WhoScored as the best defender across the 100 or so clubs that make up the top 5 European leagues for the month of November.

    He still is raw and has a mistake in him, but I think he has a really high ceiling.

    Put it like this, he would have won a cap or two for England by now if he was English and face it, that's a rare compliment for young Irish lads these days.

    Him, Ferguson and Kelleher are probably the only three players we have currently where that would be the case if they were English.

    Funny thing is, he had a really good game overall yesterday but it has to be said he made a total mess of a back pass that Isak capitalised on but then inexplicably allowed the keeper to recover. He should have just put it into touch, in hindsight anyway. And I’d fault him for Isak’s first equaliser too, stepping back to play Isak onside instead of stepping up or holding the line. Each the result of bad decision making / game management imho.

    In general Brentford have a great thing going on at the Gtech. And Mbeumo has the biggest glutes I’ve ever seen.

    It's great to hear the commitment and everything but sometimes the stuff they come out with, presumably off the back of the media training they get at their clubs, stretches credibility. In this article Collins says:

    "It’s such a good squad. It’s really frustrating that we couldn’t get over the line [and qualify for last summer’s Euros]."

    I mean, in terms of the last Euros, we were so far from the line that we couldn't even see the line. We were miles off in our group and it's nearly harder to not at least make the Euros playoffs these days and we didn't even manage that either.

    Won MotM as well, though he really should have done better for the Palace goal. But he's clearly a leader at Brentford and probably - at the moment - looks like the Irish player with the best chance of becoming a first team player at a Champions League level Premier League club in time.

    Also won the penalty for their opener - albeit it should have gone for a hand ball before that.

    The drama around the penalty is worth watching the highlights reel as a neutral. Mad stuff
