Brentford

Thomas Frank will hand Mikkel Damsgaard his first start when Brentford travel to Colchester United in the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening.

We expected it when they came and they did very well," Frank said. That aspect is what we need to handle well. I think it's very clear how serious we've been [in this competition] over the last two years. "That’s part of a bigger plan for him. "It's a combination of freshness, putting the best possible team out there, and putting some players out who need minutes to perform, but the end goal is to get to the next round. "Maybe the two most important years in the club's recent history - the promotion season in a very tight COVID schedule and the first season in the Premier League - we made history by reaching the semi-final in the first year and then the quarter-final [the season after] is the next best.

Colchester United exit the Carabao Cup at the Second Round stage follow a spirited 2-0 home defeat to Brentford.

However, the visitors took the lead with just six minutes to go in the opening half. A corner was nodded goalward by Toney and bounced in off Sorensen. Some excellent play from Dallison and Chilvers allowed the home side to fashion the first chance of the game, with Alex Newby finding space on the edge of the box, but the midfielder placed his shot just wide of the post. A strike from substitute Ryan Trevitt thundered off the underside of the crossbar before Akinde went close at the other end. With Brentford playing high, Colchester had space to exploit on the counter attack. Wayne Brown’s side were excellent at drawing fouls from the opposition, and Chilvers’ delivery on many of the set-pieces looked dangerous.

Brentford are making a name for themselves as one of the Premier League's most resilient sides but their habit of starting matches slowly is costing them.

[Tosin Adarabioyo](https://theathletic.com/football/player/tosin-adarabioyo-q84V264O7MrS7yru/) sweeps the ball towards the left. [Bryan Mbeumo](https://theathletic.com/football/player/bryan-mbeumo-w2rlkedMt5ybGSxe/) should be pushing up, not retreating, to cut off the angle. “We will always try to go down that attacking route and I think it paid off in many, many ways (against Fulham).” Frank says one of Ajer’s greatest strengths is his composure on the ball and it was sorely missed at Craven Cottage. [Bobby De Cordova-Reid](https://theathletic.com/football/player/bobby-de-cordova-reid-UQ9YH5Uux9ZlYRgD/) put Marco Silva’s side ahead after 50 seconds and, frustratingly, it could have easily been avoided. Norgaard is the side’s anchor, but when they are defending, Dasilva and Jensen need to offer better support. Fortunately, Reed selfishly shoots instead of passing it to his team-mate who was in a dangerous crossing position. The ball is back with Raya and he finds Dasilva. Brentford would have expected Fulham to come out firing at Craven Cottage and their silly mistakes only filled them with more energy. As we see below, [Andreas Pereira](https://theathletic.com/football/player/andreas-pereira-MCFLOlnoBLQxIoXY/) picks up the ball near the halfway line and attempts a pass to De Cordova-Reid. It is encouraging, and thrilling, to see the team show resilience in difficult situations, but it is not sustainable. It is difficult to pinpoint what the exact issue is with their slow starts.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag reportedly made an impression on his players by taking part in a running session scheduled the day after his side ...

It was clear that he wasn’t going to let his players take all the blame for the performance. On Monday night, they won their first game of the season by beating Liverpool at home. A source told The Mirror: "The players were raging when they discovered their punishment for the no-show at Brentford would be an 8.5-mile run.

The Bees are through to the third round of the Carabao Cup after victory over the League Two side.

There was a debut for Brentford B midfielder Ryan Trevitt with 18 minutes to play and he had a golden chance to put the game to bed five minutes from time. Mads was eventually replaced with captain for the night, Vitaly Janelt, dropping into a back three to negate the expected Colchester onslaught. The England youth international kept his cool as defenders rushed to get back, waiting for O’Hara to commit, before passing it low into the corner. Baptiste in particular was finding joy and he had a fine chance to open the scoring on the quarter-hour. Junior Tchamadeu also shot off target after meeting a deep corner as Colchester enjoyed their best spell of the half. Having eased the pressure on their goal, Colchester began to ask questions of their own.

The central midfielder signs following a trial period with the young Bees where he featured recently against Fulham Under-21s and AFC Wimbledon. Angel was part ...

We’ll focus on Angel playing as a deep central midfielder, but we also know that he has the capability to push further forward and play as a number eight too.” He has good technical ability, he is very mobile, and we look forward to working with him. He also went on to feature on the bench later during that campaign as Plymouth faced Arsenal Under-23s in the same competition.

EVERTON will be desperate to secure their first three points of the season against West London outfit Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.Chelsea.
