Welcome back to the analyses, show myself, and Leon Osman. It
was tight at the top. It was set nail biting at the bottom
but leads did it. I think this is a picture of the Season.
Look at those celebrations post-match from rafinha.
Certainly enjoyed that one. It was
pretty nerve-wracking for them. No Leon.
Yeah. I mean,
not the favorites going into that into that game. I think
a lot of people me included thought they'd find it
difficult to going to bream for but they went With such desire
such hunger
to get that result. The fans were definitely be behind
the team incredible scenes and managed to get themselves over
the line. I was at the game and he raised a few eyebrows when
I saw the
team Sheet because he made a big call. I felt in the middle
of the pitch actually Sam Greenwood for his first Premier
League start came in alongside Calvin Phillips. He left out
Mathias click and brought Greenwood into the middle
of the pitch. Certainly. I looked at that and thought wow,
it's a big call for you, you know first start a game of this
magnitude.
Well, it did he receive as well that really perform. Well, they
perform. Well, Kevin Phillips
just sat in front of the pack for as he does
actually suited them. I think
Sam Greenwood to get 40 Years of forward player really, but
he was given the license to go and push tight. Push higher up
the pitch, got close to. I thought I did a good job on
Erickson your talk about the big game. Do you think that
the Youth
of girl art and Greenwood and you know, you play without fear
when you're when you're young and and the situated helped
leaves. Yeah as you say play without fear but mean
the magnitude of the game is so huge. You wonder whether they
might freeze.
Because of the situation, but not at all. I think, Joe
gerhardt, we've seen enough of already this season that he's
someone, that doesn't know. He plays he plays quite free. He
plays without fear. Doesn't he
sound crew moves that I think was an unknown really and how
it how we would react. But as early drama in the game as
well. In fact in the 20th minute leads thought
they'd taken the lead.
If we watch this on jogayle heart, we just talked about
playing without fear. Thought it'd put leads in from
VAR thought. Otherwise, he had just read the wrong side of
the line. His shoulder was was the wrong side goal was disallowed.
But in the say at the same time while that was happening, this
was happening at Turf Moor
Nathan Collins. I'm not sure
what he was thinking. I'm not sure he looked
he's looking at this thinking what have I done? Why have
I done it? He knew himself. As soon as he did it. I've given
a penalty of wide VAR. Checked, it gave the penalty Colin
Wilson. Scored could have been a big swing. As it was it was
it was still me on Mill at Brentford. But
what's it like to play in a big game where you're performing in
your own game, you know, you've got to get result, but you're
always having to listen to another game. You may be
relying on something. Yeah. I think I think as a player you
always want to know what's going on elsewhere is it has
some, some people might not want to
know exactly what's happening elsewhere. But if I'm in there,
I want to manage the situation manage the game. Then I want to
know exactly what's going on elsewhere out. And I was in
the Bishop trying to get promoted many years ago with its which
and Man City. I think what s? We were third, we needed to
better their result, which is what leads needed to do. They
needed the better burn, the result and actually 70 minutes
in Mansi to illusion one-nil and we were winning one. Now.
We're thinking me, 20, min to go. We're going to get promoted
as it turned out, man. CT scored four in the last 20
minutes. I think I'm won the game for 11 it quite easily,
but you knew what you had to do in the game. So we were
wondering they were one-nil down. We could then or just
almost just say, right? We've done enough. Now with the lead
team aware
in the stadium of what what? Yeah and apparently, yeah.
You get misinformation, of course, you get misinformation.
There was a period actually when the Brentford fans
celebrated in you thought that burn that equalized against
Newcastle. And actually the information we were getting was
no still one, Neil still One Nail. So what impact would
this rafinha? Our goal have had on Burnley
on Burnley? Wow, I mean when they knew already that they
were down in the game. Yeah, then they know. Then they've
got it. They've got to just go for it. And there's another
team plan out
from the back making a mistake. Ruffini. I thought was was
Such a good player. He's been the difference, really? I think
for them this season. I think he's been absolutely
outstanding this year to another team. Playing up from
the back getting themselves and trouble unnecessarily, isn't it
was,
it was what about this for the coolest man, though, inside
the Brevard Community Stadium crikey. I mean, that is
that is some penalty under real pressure, the slow run up
the stutter
drill that goal because arguably
leads best player.
Is there will be teams that are looking at him now and thinking
shall we shall we go and get him because in my opinion His
performances have been outstanding. It's no surprise
that he got
that penalty and he got the scored. The penalty, was
the coolest man in the stadium. He's been brilliant for elite.
Yeah, the effect he had on
Burnley was actually not a good one. Was it? Because burn
the actually went to kneel down,
Catherine Wilson back in the team thought was excellent. The
week before, wasn't he against Arsenal in? He was brilliant in
this one as well. I'll call Ski too deep in my opinion. Yeah.
I mean, he has to be in this position. And then
as that run is, Made, I think it's from from Willow. Couldn't
you just let it go? You can play him off side and you can
still Mark
Wilson in that Mom. He's so deep
opens up that pasture Lane. It's the simplest
of tuppence for Wilson who has looked very,
very dangerous since he's become back into the team. He's
looked a real goal threat for Newcastle. Some maximize had
somebody to get on the end of his of his crosses and his
passes, and
it just highlighted burnley's,
incompetence with regards to defend and their lack of
ability to keep goals out, do it. I've been Chris Wood
that came back to haunt them on that last day of the Season
having sold in in January, of course two new cars, but that's
you as Colin Wilson who's
back it back fit and back in form. They did get themselves
back into it, Maxwell Corner, who's been
hiding their excellent signing for them.
It's called some really good goals as an early
this season.
Yeah. It was a, it was a good finish at the second attempt,
Burnley, trying to flood been for doing everything to get
back in the game. You see three players in there, doesn't
Finish it with his first effort, even though it's a good
effort and it's off balance was right foot finishes it with
the left foot. But you can see from the reaction from the Burnley
team. They knew
it probably had too much to do at this point to get themselves
out of the situation. They didn't Sprint to get the poor
but they didn't run excuse Elastica. Lean back to
the halfway line.
They knew they'd give us those too much to do.
Now wonder wonder how difficult is going to be for
Burnley, to try and
keep hold of some of these star players. If you like corny
tarkovsky's out of contract, Nick Pope was a number of
clubs. Looking at Nick Pappas gonna be difficult, isn't it
for them to keep some
of the
star names if you like you'd expect? So, you know, nowadays
players have
relegation Clauses written into the contract. So they'll be out
of contract. So there will be a rebuild that has to be done at
Billy. They still don't have an official manager
at the moment. So who's going to take? The rains, it's back
in the championship, because
those funds now, expect to be in the Premier League. The
spent. I think it's six seasons in the family. Their
expectation is now of a Premier League team. So,
but we've seen how difficult it is to come back up to
the Premier League. Once you've been relegated of times. Yeah.
Absolutely. So burn these best hope at this point. As we go
through the events chronologically
was actually Brentwood coming back into it and getting
a result against Leeds, which would then condemned
leads to relegation
and didn't go great. Great. For Brentford because they were
down to 10 men. When
I went off injured. He'd made his 3, Subs Thomas, Frankie
made his ulceration. As with about 25 minutes to go,
then they picked up an injury
just off a tire had to go off but
they did get themselves back into it. This was a lovely header
from one of the substitutes actually surgery can tell
something on the pitch long.
Yeah. I mean, it's a great goal from from bramford managing to
get forward, getting the overload on the left hand side
working at Leeds will be kicking themselves that with
an extra man. They've suddenly found themselves exposed.
In the Middle East, a narrow because they were
five as they got, they were back. Five, and looking that
Robin cocktail, think it should have just stayed out wider
rather than getting too narrow and dealt with. Can us as that
ball was coming in.
This was actually, a key moment. Took his shirt off.
Sergey Katniss picked up a booking
for you see, referee, pulteney say,
but no choice. Yep. No option. But know what should give you
that yellow. You can see yellow card and he, it wasn't long
after that, that they were actually down to
nine. Men Brentford because you got himself, sent off, Sergey
can us.
That was that it was a silly one. It's the tackle of
the player that's found himself playing. Left wingback isn't
a good Defender. Doesn't want to be there in that moment. He
thought I'm exposed.
I'm going to bring him down and it's as if he forgot it was on
a yellow card then he started to pleading with the referee
first tackle, please. Let me ask made a huge mistake since
this was 50-odd s. Yeah, and that's where he's taking his
shirt off
and actually being sent off as well. And then
the down to nine men. I did he tweet after the games that
he shouldn't have.
He said something about I won't be taking my shirt off. Yeah.
Yeah, length is less than than they certainly has. So what
does that mean?
If we have a look
at the Harrison winner for leads, it meant that Brentford
only had nine men, of course,
but it meant that they had. No one
on the edge of the Box.
Everyone then, having to deal with
what's happening, inside the penalty and nobody on the post,
see that the only ones we had survived everybody trying to
pick up in that area and
you know leads just expose that took advantage of it run.
All the players in. Look at the positions here for Harrison.
It's it's a really good finish on that half volley, but that's
a difficult skill and difficult technique, but he keeps his eye
on the ball, keeps his head over it
because one goal. Either way,
make the difference here. If Burnley scored and Drew to all
the end would have been safe
lead score and which they did Harris and got the winner.
It meant that they
were then save. It was unbelievable to see likes of
flexion, but incredible. See,
the Leeds fans were absolutely amazing throughout the
I really back in their team and I thought that the side
Managed IT. Well as well, because
in recent weeks, we haven't, we've seen leads perhaps
struggle with managing games. We've seen ill, discipline
alien getting
himself sent off than James, then did something similar
and they have been able to cope with the pressure. But this
one, the most pressurized situation. I thought they dealt
with it. Well, yeah, that's why I asked about the young players
coming in because
yes, they do feel pressure and high situation, but you play
with a certain Freedom that sometimes more experienced
players. Don't Do even Harrison look like he's a younger player
playing with freedom. And
then you have a couple of experienced heads around, like,
like Cooper and like Phillips that are in there to make sure
they direct the young players enthusiasm.
But to go there to go, to bramford needing to win,
knowing you need to win and get in the result. Incredible
achievement. Absolutely some great celebrations that there
really wasn't actually inside the dressing room. We had
access to the dressing room
after the game, and Jesse Marsh spoke to his players about
the key to survival.
I told you guys before the game that you're the, best group
that I've ever worked with your commitment. You have to each
other, right? And then we showed the video of these
last-minute goals
and a group that
shows belief that never says, quit that runs for each other,
that fights for each other, that does everything we can.
And that guys, that is what got us here.
Right? It's the character of you guys.
Yeah, I told us about the character that they have shown
plenty of character
this season as well. Leads
got a lot of light goals and they lie on.
They have crucial
like goals in. Not only are they good for points that good
for morale. They're good for
feeling that you've still in with a shout and, you know,
God's cause that 21 and late goal against Norwich. But, you
know, being inside teams and dressing rooms, Matt
feeling that that can spread throughout the team that we're
still in this. We're capable of scoring like goals. Yeah, they
certainly is a big
I remember it. Well at walls
late winner. Luke ailing
try to do is Robbie Keane celebration didn't quite go to
plan did it. This was last week against Brighton and
honestly, I think this one might have been the key to
their survival, that late goal gave them the belief they could
get a result
at Brentford. Without that go. I'm not sure they would have
done it. I agree,
you know because it may have been a point and of your now,
you know, do the math. They would have stayed up without it
because they won but that gave them, a will have given them
the belief. Yeah, that things are going.
Fall their way. They've scored a last-minute goal. We can now
go to Brentford and we win with that'll be enough for as, and
he's had a big effect on the team,
Jesse. Marsch since he's joint yet. And these are the points
one
from goals scored after 75 minutes. And that actually
the second best record in the league. Brian have got 11
points
after with goal, scored after the 75th minute, leads nine
points, those crucial points, that have kept them here, think
that of stayed up. If the cap bielsa in charge rather than
Marsh,
I don't know. Is it's a really good question. I'm not sure.
I would have done, I'm not sure they would have done. I think
that they had a way of playing bielsa and didn't want to
change it at all
and had too many big defeats
think. There was a
slightly more pragmatic style of play
Under, Jesse. Marsch. I think you realized that.
Yes, we have to we've got good players going forward. We've
also got to be a bit tighter at the back and it kept in their
zones. They didn't they didn't go to man from Adam which we
saw with be answer.
I just think with the best players that BL sad available,
if everyone was fit, think it was fine, but when you take
These best team players out the team
affected them. So
I think it probably was the right call to be honest. Yeah.
Yeah. I know, I'd have to agree. I think that leads seem
to need something. They need needed the inspiration. It
turns out that that Mike Jackson Jackson, wasn't quite
able to get
Burnley over the line, but they'll look back. And then
I was a great decision. Yeah. Next season
leads. You think it'd be
another tough year, or even though they've stayed up, you
still a bit worried that I'm worried to lose one or two, but
I'm worried about the players they might lose. I think other
clubs.
Take an interest in one or two of the very top players because
Calvin for this has been linked with Man City. Yes, as well. As
I said Ruffino be linked with a number of teams as well. So
they have to strengthen. I don't think they'll stay up if they
if they don't strengthen in general and if they lose those
players, they'll have to do even more.
