Henderson vs Janelt, Thiago vs Wissa & Beating Spurs | Beyond the Breakdown

The Brentford Tactical and Statistical Lowdown

Jacob The Gowler Gowler and Matt The Allard Allard dive deep into Brentford’s recent performances and what they reveal about where the Bees really are right now

The podcast kicks off with a Wolves and Bournemouth double-header, focusing on the re-shaped midfield. How did Brentford generate such a high level of xG, and is the rising xGA something to genuinely worry about or simply a by-product of how the games unfolded?

There’s a proper debate on whether the Bees actually look better without Jordan Henderson, backed up by a Janelt vs Henderson stats comparison. The numbers come out again as Thiago and Wissa go head-to-head in a detailed performance analysis

Looking ahead, the lads preview Tottenham, including a tactical theory on how to beat Thomas Frank’s evolving hybrid press, before rounding things off with previews of Everton and Sunderland

Stats, tactics and plenty to chew over — this one’s for the nerds and the terrace philosophers. 🐝
