  1. Brentford v Man Utd: Pick of the statspublished at 14:50 27 March
    14:50 27 March

    • Brentford have lost seven of their past nine league meetings with Manchester United, but they did win this fixture 4-0 last season.

    • United's seven league visits to Brentford have produced 30 goals, an average of 4.3 per game. Both of their top-flight defeats at the Bees have been by a 4-0 scoreline (October 1936 and August 2022).

    • Erik ten Hag's side have won just one of their past eight Premier League away games against London sides, and have lost four of their past five.

    • Only the bottom two sides, Burnley and Sheffield United, have lost more Premier League games than Brentford this season. Since a three-game winning run in October/November, the Bees have won just three of their past 18.

    • United have won more games by a one-goal margin - 12 of their 15 victories - than any other side in the Premier League this season.

    \"Brentford

    Ivan Toney's goal against Belgium on Tuesday made him the first Brentford player to score for England.

    The 28-year-old marked his first international start with an equaliser from the spot, after he had been brought down by Jan Vertonghen.

    In doing so, he is the first player to score a penalty on his first England start since Allan Clarke against Czechoslovakia at the 1970 World Cup.

    Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes Toney is a "dangerous" player and backed him to be Gareth Southgate's second-choice striker behind Harry Kane.

    "He gives you that change off the bench and is the better option of the other strikers available," Robinson said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.

    "Also, how important is an Englishman that can take penalties? We've fallen foul of that in previous tournaments, so that alone is a huge tick in his box.

    "He looks dangerous because he plays on the shoulder and that's how he won the penalty.

    "He has an edge. Maybe not in stats or in the amount of goals, but he has coolness and we saw that when he had pressure on him to take that penalty."

    Brentford striker Ivan Toney is set to make his first England start against Belgium at Wembley on Tuesday.

    The 28-year-old was an unused substitute in the 1-0 defeat by Brazil on Saturday.

    England captain Harry Kane's injury has meant there is an opportunity for other forwards to try to impress manager Gareth Southgate as they look to secure a spot in the Euro 2024 squad.

    Playing against Belgium would mark a year to the day since Toney's only cap for the Three Lions so far.

    Since his return from a eight-month ban for breaching betting rules, Toney has played 10 times in the Premier League and scored four goals.

  4. The three things Bees need between now and the end of the seasonpublished at 13:01 26 March

    Ian Westbrook
    Fan writer

    \"Brentford

    It has been a difficult season for Thomas Frank's Brentford and in order to finish this season successfully, they will need these three things:

    Points

    Our current total of 26 is not enough to stay in the Premier League, even with other teams' deductions.

    Three wins from our last nine games, however, would take us to 35 and that should assure safety.

    Players

    We have barely been able to field a full-strength side all season.

    We desperately need the return of Ethan Pinnock and Aaron Hickey at the back, and to a lesser extent Kevin Schade up front. They are the only injury victims with a chance of playing again this season and would shore up the team.

    Performances

    While we have played OK in most games, we have not played well enough to get more wins on the board.

    There have been very few really poor displays - Everton at home and West Ham away the exceptions - but we have given away the same goal time and again: the close-range header.

    We have also rallied too late when behind to rescue matches.

    It was always going to be hard to top last season's 59 points and ninth place, even without the long list of injuries.

    In the circumstances, Frank has done a remarkable job in maintaining our record of not being in the relegation zone for even one second of our three seasons in the Premier League.

    Staying up this season after the decimation of the squad because of injuries and Ivan Toney\u2019s ban would be another huge achievement.

    \"Your

    We asked you what the most irritating thing at your club has been this season, whether it be inconsistency, injuries or a player failing to deliver.

    Here are some of your replies:

    Michael: The fact that the team have been unable to hold on to winning positions, losing 28 points in the process. Also, the very poor recruitment of new players during the close season - players who have either been injured or unwell, and have performed extraordinarily badly. A head coach who cannot motivate. A very disappointing season all round.

    Noah: Brentford's inability to defend crosses. We sit back and invite crosses but are woefully inept when it comes to dealing with them, especially the full-backs in the absence of Hickey and Henry.

    Tim: I love him to bits, but Thomas Frank increasingly leaves his substitutions way too late to affect the game. He appears too reliant on second-raters like Frank the Tank [Onyeka] instead of giving the youngsters a go. If they never play, we'll never know if they're any good.

    Ben: Injuries. Pretty clear that the football schedule has been far too intense over the past two years. Injuries have hurt lots of teams, but for smaller clubs running on smaller budgets (and actually obeying FFP rules), an increase in injuries can be devastating.

    Kev: Injury really. I know all teams get them, but so many... for so long. Hope we can stay up and have a crack at the Premier League next season with fewer injuries.

  7. 'That swagger and self-belief is crucial' - Southgate on Toneypublished at 10:00 25 March

    \"IvanImage source, Getty Images

    Brentford striker Ivan Toney looks set to feature for England for the first time in 12 months.

    Injury to captain and regular centre-forward Harry Kane means there is an opportunity for Toney to start against Belgium at Wembley on Tuesday.

    The 28-year-old has not played for the national side since he made his debut against Ukraine in March 2023 and if he does feature it would come exactly a year to the day since that match.

    "It would be his first start, so you've got to bear that in mind as well," said England boss Gareth Southgate.

    "With England that's the landscape - you don't get hundreds of opportunities. I think every player recognises that's the world we live in.

    "But he's a confident guy. He comes in on the back of a good run of form with his club. He's going to be on the field on Tuesday - no question.

    "That swagger and self-belief is crucial - all of the top forward players have it. I think sometimes the quality of his football can be underestimated - his passing, his link play.

    "We're still getting to know all of those strengths because until you work with a player more regularly you don't know them inside out."

    The battle at the bottom was the focus in the Premier League this weekend and it didn\u2019t let anyone down in terms of excitement.

    \u200cEach team have their own storyline, but there is no doubt that Brentford, who have been considered least in danger, are now smack bang in the middle of the danger zone. They have been many people\u2019s favourite underdogs with their limited funds and modern data-driven ideas, but they could be heading for a train crash.

    \u200cMany of their problems seemed to stem form the interruption of Ivan Toney\u2019s availability because of his ban for betting breaches. Since his return the expected upturn hasn\u2019t happened.

    \u200cLast season, they finished ninth on 59 points (1.5 points per game) but after losing to fellow strugglers Burnley they have 26 points from 29 games this season, that is hovering around 0.9 points per game.\u200c

    On the positive side, they haven\u2019t completely capitulated, with spirited recent performances against Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea, but they only secured one point from those four outings.

    \u200cThey have an easier run-in on paper, but no game is easy when you are on a losing streak. There is negativity when you are dropping down the table, the psychology is very different form battling to get back up the way Nottingham Forest and Luton are. Considering how much they have been copied and envied by others higher up the league, many are looking at not only Toney, but their acquisitions specialists, the Bees fans know that this is the biggest danger they have faced in years. They need a win and they need one soon.

  10. Lengthy bans 'a disgrace' - Mersonpublished at 16:24 19 March
    16:24 19 March

    \"Sacked

    Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has been speaking to the Sacked In The Morning Podcast about gambling, the addiction and the bans handed to Ivan Toney and Sandro Tonali this season.

    "People have no respect for the gambling addiction at all," says Merson.

    "I think we've seen that with the bans of Tonali at Newcastle and Ivan Toney. I think to give people 10-month bans for an addiction that is ravaged in football, sponsorships all over the shirts, I think they needed help. I don't think that's help giving them 10 month bans. I think it's a disgrace really. I think if they were on heroin, I think they would have been playing a lot, lot quicker than what they played in 10 months. I really do.

    "I think we underestimate this addiction. It kills people. More people commit suicide through gambling than any other addiction in the world. So we need to show it some respect and it's not, 'oh, show a bit of willpower'.

    "Because, you know, I would say to these people, we keep on making these rules up and banning people. Next time you get diarrhoea, try and stop that with willpower."

    Ian Westbrook
    Fan writer

    \"Brentford

    Emotions ran high in the away end at Turf Moor on Saturday.

    Frustration, anger and disappointment ruled among a healthy Bees following, given we became only the second team to lose to both Burnley and Sheffield United this season.

    We were our own worst enemy with first Sergio Reguilon\u2019s needless red card and then Mark Flekken\u2019s incredible naivety to lose out in a game of "he\u2019s behind you" to nearly give away a second goal.

    Thomas Frank looked angered by some half-time booing, seeming to glare at the away end, although he was very appreciative of the support as usual at full-time.

    He has a great relationship with the fans and there have quite rightly been no calls at games questioning his future \u2013 which, given our run of 14 defeats in 18 games, there would have been at other clubs.

    The good thing is that Brentford\u2019s fate is still very much in our own hands.

    In five games\u2019 time we go to Luton, followed by Everton the following week. The Hatters are away to Spurs, Arsenal and Manchester City in their next four matches, while three of our next four games are at home.

    Frank always emphasises how important the fans are, especially at the G-tech Community Stadium, and with two of those fixtures under the floodlights, this is a chance for us to hopefully pull clear of Luton before we meet.

    The one positive on Saturday was the return of Bryan Mbeumo after more than three months out.

    He looked good and his pace and invention terrified the Burnley defence.

    He will be vital for the rest of the season.

    Nottingham Forest have slipped into the relegation zone after being deducted four points for breaching the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules, BBC Sport understands.

    The deduction leaves, which leaves Nuno Espirito Santo's side on 21 points, lifts Luton Town out of the drop zone by one point.

    Burnley remain in 19th and are four points behind Forest with 10 games remaining, while Sheffield United are seven.

    Everton, who were previously deducted six points, are now three points clear of Forest but the Toffees could still be deducted further points for a second breach.

    \"your

    We asked for your thoughts on Saturday's game between Burnley and Brentford in the Premier League.

    Here are some of your responses:

    Burnley fans

    Jack: This was a match we clearly would've lost if Brentford weren't down to 10 men. Kompany is the luckiest manager alive. He has to go. Again we missed chances, there has to be a reason.

    Mike: Muric made the game for Burnley. His position, speed and distribution was head and shoulders above Trafford. This decision should've been made at least 10 games ago. He's probably not enough to stay up but he will help give us a fighting chance, instead of succumbing to our fate.

    Shaun: That was a fully deserved win. Muric made three good saves but Fofana should've had it sewn up in the first half for Burnley.

    Andy: With Kompany as our manager, we will continue to get relegated until he either learns from his many errors, which is already too late this season, or goes, which is my preferred option. To not build on last season's triumph and bring in experienced players was unforgivable, as was his treatment of Andros Townsend.

    Brentford fans

    Tim: Another incoherent and inept performance from a side desperately short of any sort of belief. We have been crippled by injuries for most of the season and the wisdom of our recruitment strategy is seriously in question. How Onyeka still gets a game beats me. He is slow to react, doesn't tackle and doesn't run. Get rid.

    Thomas: The Bees only showed up for the last 10 minutes when Mbeumo came on. Up to that point, they had no energy, imagination or apparent will to win. I question what Frank was thinking, waiting until the 80th minute to bring on Mbeumo in a must-win game. It can't be that he was only fit enough to play 10 minutes? Poor game management.

    George: A frustrating day out. That might be this season's softest red card and our optimism walked off the pitch alongside Reguilon. We lacked creativity. Brentford once had an odd habit of beating the best teams and losing to the worst. But this season, despite always digging deep towards the final whistle, we have been unable to beat either.

    Dan: Yes we are in a relegation scrap, but our performances have picked up lately. I honestly feel that we would've got something today with 11 men on the pitch, even with 10 men we threatened. The back-to-back games against Sheffield United and Luton will be massive.

    \"NealImage source, Getty Images

    Neal Maupay\u2019s reputation precedes him. There's no denying he's a fine footballer, but the striker is perhaps better known for the fact he clearly loves a good wind-up.

    Many of us probably went to school with a Maupay type. Those who created stories which are retold for years. However, the Frenchman\u2019s exploits are played out in the public eye.

    This season alone there's the darts celebration which annoyed James Maddison, getting under the skin of Kyle Walker and, as he was warming up as substitute, kicking the ball away as Cole Palmer was about to take a free-kick.

    While commentating on Saturday\u2019s defeat at Burnley, and listening to the television production team's talk back, it was alleged Maupay somehow removed Burnley assistant manager Craig Bellmay's earpiece.

    It apparently happened as Mads Roeslev was receiving on-field treatment during the second half. I never got to see any of this footage - if indeed the incident did happen - only images of Thomas Frank calmly ushering his substitute back to the bench.

    As I stood waiting to conduct the post-match interviews, which took place close to the team changing rooms, along the corridor Maupay was standing in conversation with team-mate Ivan Toney. I couldn't hear what was being said, but I did clearly see Maupay acting out the motion of removing something from his ear, much to the pair's amusement.

    Within the seriousness and high-pressure environment of the Premier League, I am so here for the light relief provided by Maupay's love for all things 'housery'.

    \"BrentfordImage source, Getty Images

    Brentford boss Thomas Frank believes a "big mistake" was made when a penalty wasn't given for a foul on Mathias Jorgensen inside of the box in their 2-1 defeat by Burnley at Turf Moor.

    In his post-match interview, Frank said: "The big mistake was the Zanka [Mathias Jorgensen] penalty eight minutes into the second half \u2013 it's a clear, clear, clear penalty."

    Former Brighton striker Glenn Murray agreed with the manager on Match of the Day: "We can just see on the replays that it looked like a rugby tackle, on the penalty spot, in all honesty.

    "[David Datro] Fofana's left arm is on Zanka's [Mathias Jorgensen] hamstring and he almost picks him up and lifts him. Jorgensen is trying to move forward but he can't because Fofana rugby tackles him.

    "I thought what Thomas Frank said [in his post-match interview] was absolutely perfect. I do agree it was a penalty."

    Murray added that it is "safe to say" the Bees are now in a "relegation fight", after picking up just one point from their last six Premier League games: "It's looking ominous at the moment for Brentford.

    "They are four points outside of the relegation zone. I think it's safe to say that they are in a relegation fight at the moment."

      • Brentford have lost seven of their past nine league meetings with Manchester United, but they did win this fixture 4-0 last season.

      • United's seven league visits to Brentford have produced 30 goals, an average of 4.3 per game. Both of their top-flight defeats at the Bees have been by a 4-0 scoreline (October 1936 and August 2022).

      • Erik ten Hag's side have won just one of their past eight Premier League away games against London sides, and have lost four of their past five.

      • Only the bottom two sides, Burnley and Sheffield United, have lost more Premier League games than Brentford this season. Since a three-game winning run in October/November, the Bees have won just three of their past 18.

      • United have won more games by a one-goal margin - 12 of their 15 victories - than any other side in the Premier League this season.

      \"Brentford

      Ivan Toney's goal against Belgium on Tuesday made him the first Brentford player to score for England.

      The 28-year-old marked his first international start with an equaliser from the spot, after he had been brought down by Jan Vertonghen.

      In doing so, he is the first player to score a penalty on his first England start since Allan Clarke against Czechoslovakia at the 1970 World Cup.

      Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes Toney is a "dangerous" player and backed him to be Gareth Southgate's second-choice striker behind Harry Kane.

      "He gives you that change off the bench and is the better option of the other strikers available," Robinson said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.

      "Also, how important is an Englishman that can take penalties? We've fallen foul of that in previous tournaments, so that alone is a huge tick in his box.

      "He looks dangerous because he plays on the shoulder and that's how he won the penalty.

      "He has an edge. Maybe not in stats or in the amount of goals, but he has coolness and we saw that when he had pressure on him to take that penalty."

      Brentford striker Ivan Toney is set to make his first England start against Belgium at Wembley on Tuesday.

      The 28-year-old was an unused substitute in the 1-0 defeat by Brazil on Saturday.

      England captain Harry Kane's injury has meant there is an opportunity for other forwards to try to impress manager Gareth Southgate as they look to secure a spot in the Euro 2024 squad.

      Playing against Belgium would mark a year to the day since Toney's only cap for the Three Lions so far.

      Since his return from a eight-month ban for breaching betting rules, Toney has played 10 times in the Premier League and scored four goals.

      Ian Westbrook
      Fan writer

      \"Brentford

      It has been a difficult season for Thomas Frank's Brentford and in order to finish this season successfully, they will need these three things:

      Points

      Our current total of 26 is not enough to stay in the Premier League, even with other teams' deductions.

      Three wins from our last nine games, however, would take us to 35 and that should assure safety.

      Players

      We have barely been able to field a full-strength side all season.

      We desperately need the return of Ethan Pinnock and Aaron Hickey at the back, and to a lesser extent Kevin Schade up front. They are the only injury victims with a chance of playing again this season and would shore up the team.

      Performances

      While we have played OK in most games, we have not played well enough to get more wins on the board.

      There have been very few really poor displays - Everton at home and West Ham away the exceptions - but we have given away the same goal time and again: the close-range header.

      We have also rallied too late when behind to rescue matches.

      It was always going to be hard to top last season's 59 points and ninth place, even without the long list of injuries.

      In the circumstances, Frank has done a remarkable job in maintaining our record of not being in the relegation zone for even one second of our three seasons in the Premier League.

      Staying up this season after the decimation of the squad because of injuries and Ivan Toney\u2019s ban would be another huge achievement.

      13:05 25 March

      \"Your

      We asked you what the most irritating thing at your club has been this season, whether it be inconsistency, injuries or a player failing to deliver.

      Here are some of your replies:

      Michael: The fact that the team have been unable to hold on to winning positions, losing 28 points in the process. Also, the very poor recruitment of new players during the close season - players who have either been injured or unwell, and have performed extraordinarily badly. A head coach who cannot motivate. A very disappointing season all round.

      Noah: Brentford's inability to defend crosses. We sit back and invite crosses but are woefully inept when it comes to dealing with them, especially the full-backs in the absence of Hickey and Henry.

      Tim: I love him to bits, but Thomas Frank increasingly leaves his substitutions way too late to affect the game. He appears too reliant on second-raters like Frank the Tank [Onyeka] instead of giving the youngsters a go. If they never play, we'll never know if they're any good.

      Ben: Injuries. Pretty clear that the football schedule has been far too intense over the past two years. Injuries have hurt lots of teams, but for smaller clubs running on smaller budgets (and actually obeying FFP rules), an increase in injuries can be devastating.

      Kev: Injury really. I know all teams get them, but so many... for so long. Hope we can stay up and have a crack at the Premier League next season with fewer injuries.

      Brentford striker Ivan Toney looks set to feature for England for the first time in 12 months.

      Injury to captain and regular centre-forward Harry Kane means there is an opportunity for Toney to start against Belgium at Wembley on Tuesday.

      The 28-year-old has not played for the national side since he made his debut against Ukraine in March 2023 and if he does feature it would come exactly a year to the day since that match.

      "It would be his first start, so you've got to bear that in mind as well," said England boss Gareth Southgate.

      "With England that's the landscape - you don't get hundreds of opportunities. I think every player recognises that's the world we live in.

      "But he's a confident guy. He comes in on the back of a good run of form with his club. He's going to be on the field on Tuesday - no question.

      "That swagger and self-belief is crucial - all of the top forward players have it. I think sometimes the quality of his football can be underestimated - his passing, his link play.

      "We're still getting to know all of those strengths because until you work with a player more regularly you don't know them inside out."

      The battle at the bottom was the focus in the Premier League this weekend and it didn\u2019t let anyone down in terms of excitement.

      \u200cEach team have their own storyline, but there is no doubt that Brentford, who have been considered least in danger, are now smack bang in the middle of the danger zone. They have been many people\u2019s favourite underdogs with their limited funds and modern data-driven ideas, but they could be heading for a train crash.

      \u200cMany of their problems seemed to stem form the interruption of Ivan Toney\u2019s availability because of his ban for betting breaches. Since his return the expected upturn hasn\u2019t happened.

      \u200cLast season, they finished ninth on 59 points (1.5 points per game) but after losing to fellow strugglers Burnley they have 26 points from 29 games this season, that is hovering around 0.9 points per game.\u200c

      On the positive side, they haven\u2019t completely capitulated, with spirited recent performances against Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea, but they only secured one point from those four outings.

      \u200cThey have an easier run-in on paper, but no game is easy when you are on a losing streak. There is negativity when you are dropping down the table, the psychology is very different form battling to get back up the way Nottingham Forest and Luton are. Considering how much they have been copied and envied by others higher up the league, many are looking at not only Toney, but their acquisitions specialists, the Bees fans know that this is the biggest danger they have faced in years. They need a win and they need one soon.

    10. Lengthy bans 'a disgrace' - Mersonpublished at 16:24 19 March
      16:24 19 March

      \"Sacked

      Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has been speaking to the Sacked In The Morning Podcast about gambling, the addiction and the bans handed to Ivan Toney and Sandro Tonali this season.

      "People have no respect for the gambling addiction at all," says Merson.

      "I think we've seen that with the bans of Tonali at Newcastle and Ivan Toney. I think to give people 10-month bans for an addiction that is ravaged in football, sponsorships all over the shirts, I think they needed help. I don't think that's help giving them 10 month bans. I think it's a disgrace really. I think if they were on heroin, I think they would have been playing a lot, lot quicker than what they played in 10 months. I really do.

      "I think we underestimate this addiction. It kills people. More people commit suicide through gambling than any other addiction in the world. So we need to show it some respect and it's not, 'oh, show a bit of willpower'.

      "Because, you know, I would say to these people, we keep on making these rules up and banning people. Next time you get diarrhoea, try and stop that with willpower."

      Ian Westbrook
      Fan writer

      \"Brentford

      Emotions ran high in the away end at Turf Moor on Saturday.

      Frustration, anger and disappointment ruled among a healthy Bees following, given we became only the second team to lose to both Burnley and Sheffield United this season.

      We were our own worst enemy with first Sergio Reguilon\u2019s needless red card and then Mark Flekken\u2019s incredible naivety to lose out in a game of "he\u2019s behind you" to nearly give away a second goal.

      Thomas Frank looked angered by some half-time booing, seeming to glare at the away end, although he was very appreciative of the support as usual at full-time.

      He has a great relationship with the fans and there have quite rightly been no calls at games questioning his future \u2013 which, given our run of 14 defeats in 18 games, there would have been at other clubs.

      The good thing is that Brentford\u2019s fate is still very much in our own hands.

      In five games\u2019 time we go to Luton, followed by Everton the following week. The Hatters are away to Spurs, Arsenal and Manchester City in their next four matches, while three of our next four games are at home.

      Frank always emphasises how important the fans are, especially at the G-tech Community Stadium, and with two of those fixtures under the floodlights, this is a chance for us to hopefully pull clear of Luton before we meet.

      The one positive on Saturday was the return of Bryan Mbeumo after more than three months out.

      He looked good and his pace and invention terrified the Burnley defence.

      He will be vital for the rest of the season.

      Nottingham Forest have slipped into the relegation zone after being deducted four points for breaching the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules, BBC Sport understands.

      The deduction leaves, which leaves Nuno Espirito Santo's side on 21 points, lifts Luton Town out of the drop zone by one point.

      Burnley remain in 19th and are four points behind Forest with 10 games remaining, while Sheffield United are seven.

      Everton, who were previously deducted six points, are now three points clear of Forest but the Toffees could still be deducted further points for a second breach.

      \"your

      We asked for your thoughts on Saturday's game between Burnley and Brentford in the Premier League.

      Here are some of your responses:

      Burnley fans

      Jack: This was a match we clearly would've lost if Brentford weren't down to 10 men. Kompany is the luckiest manager alive. He has to go. Again we missed chances, there has to be a reason.

      Mike: Muric made the game for Burnley. His position, speed and distribution was head and shoulders above Trafford. This decision should've been made at least 10 games ago. He's probably not enough to stay up but he will help give us a fighting chance, instead of succumbing to our fate.

      Shaun: That was a fully deserved win. Muric made three good saves but Fofana should've had it sewn up in the first half for Burnley.

      Andy: With Kompany as our manager, we will continue to get relegated until he either learns from his many errors, which is already too late this season, or goes, which is my preferred option. To not build on last season's triumph and bring in experienced players was unforgivable, as was his treatment of Andros Townsend.

      Brentford fans

      Tim: Another incoherent and inept performance from a side desperately short of any sort of belief. We have been crippled by injuries for most of the season and the wisdom of our recruitment strategy is seriously in question. How Onyeka still gets a game beats me. He is slow to react, doesn't tackle and doesn't run. Get rid.

      Thomas: The Bees only showed up for the last 10 minutes when Mbeumo came on. Up to that point, they had no energy, imagination or apparent will to win. I question what Frank was thinking, waiting until the 80th minute to bring on Mbeumo in a must-win game. It can't be that he was only fit enough to play 10 minutes? Poor game management.

      George: A frustrating day out. That might be this season's softest red card and our optimism walked off the pitch alongside Reguilon. We lacked creativity. Brentford once had an odd habit of beating the best teams and losing to the worst. But this season, despite always digging deep towards the final whistle, we have been unable to beat either.

      Dan: Yes we are in a relegation scrap, but our performances have picked up lately. I honestly feel that we would've got something today with 11 men on the pitch, even with 10 men we threatened. The back-to-back games against Sheffield United and Luton will be massive.

      Neal Maupay\u2019s reputation precedes him. There's no denying he's a fine footballer, but the striker is perhaps better known for the fact he clearly loves a good wind-up.

      Many of us probably went to school with a Maupay type. Those who created stories which are retold for years. However, the Frenchman\u2019s exploits are played out in the public eye.

      This season alone there's the darts celebration which annoyed James Maddison, getting under the skin of Kyle Walker and, as he was warming up as substitute, kicking the ball away as Cole Palmer was about to take a free-kick.

      While commentating on Saturday\u2019s defeat at Burnley, and listening to the television production team's talk back, it was alleged Maupay somehow removed Burnley assistant manager Craig Bellmay's earpiece.

      It apparently happened as Mads Roeslev was receiving on-field treatment during the second half. I never got to see any of this footage - if indeed the incident did happen - only images of Thomas Frank calmly ushering his substitute back to the bench.

      As I stood waiting to conduct the post-match interviews, which took place close to the team changing rooms, along the corridor Maupay was standing in conversation with team-mate Ivan Toney. I couldn't hear what was being said, but I did clearly see Maupay acting out the motion of removing something from his ear, much to the pair's amusement.

      Within the seriousness and high-pressure environment of the Premier League, I am so here for the light relief provided by Maupay's love for all things 'housery'.

      Brentford boss Thomas Frank believes a "big mistake" was made when a penalty wasn't given for a foul on Mathias Jorgensen inside of the box in their 2-1 defeat by Burnley at Turf Moor.

      In his post-match interview, Frank said: "The big mistake was the Zanka [Mathias Jorgensen] penalty eight minutes into the second half \u2013 it's a clear, clear, clear penalty."

      Former Brighton striker Glenn Murray agreed with the manager on Match of the Day: "We can just see on the replays that it looked like a rugby tackle, on the penalty spot, in all honesty.

      "[David Datro] Fofana's left arm is on Zanka's [Mathias Jorgensen] hamstring and he almost picks him up and lifts him. Jorgensen is trying to move forward but he can't because Fofana rugby tackles him.

      "I thought what Thomas Frank said [in his post-match interview] was absolutely perfect. I do agree it was a penalty."

      Murray added that it is "safe to say" the Bees are now in a "relegation fight", after picking up just one point from their last six Premier League games: "It's looking ominous at the moment for Brentford.

      "They are four points outside of the relegation zone. I think it's safe to say that they are in a relegation fight at the moment."

    17. Burnley 2-1 Brentford: What Frank saidpublished at 18:51 16 March

      Brentford manager Thomas Frank has been speaking to Sky Sports following the defeat: "I\u2019m very proud of the players and very proud of the effort they put into the game. We played an even game, even in the last part of the game.

      "The effort and mentality to keep staying in the game was incredible. It's remarkable with 10 [men] against 11 [men] for more than 100 minutes.

      "I think it\u2019s a red card and a penalty [for Sergio Reguilon's foul on Vitinho]. I think the situation with Ivan [Toney] and the goalkeeper [Arijanet Muric] was a disallowed goal, I understand that.

      "But, the big mistake was the Zanka [Mathias Jorgensen] penalty eight minutes into the second half \u2013 it's a clear, clear, clear penalty."
