      Inside Brentford’s mad home run with Bees on track to obliterate Chelsea’s record from Double-winning season

      by

      THOMAS FRANK is embracing Brentford’s reputation as the Premier League’s kings of home entertainment.And the Bees boss vowed: “We want to be even MORE attacking at our fortress.”Yoane Wissa celebrates with Brentford boss Thomas FrankCredit: PABryan Mbeumo and strike partner WissaCredit: GettyGtech Community Stadium fans have seen a whopping 40 GOALS in eight top-flight games so far, ahead of today’s clash with Nottingham Forest.Spread over a full season, that average of five per game would smash the record of 82 goals set at Chelsea in their Double-winning season of 2009-10. And if it carries on at the same rate, the Gtech tally could end up close to 100 goals — a thought that lit up Frank’s eyes.The Dane, 51, said: “That would be quite a story, huh?READ MORE IN football“Maybe it’s a little bit linked to us being too open, you never know. But I want us to be as offensive as possible.“We did it in the Championship. For the two years I was in charge before promotion we were the top scorers.“When I talk about having a little bit more control in the games, it’s more about whether we can get to a position where we can look to play a ball in behind, or spread it across, or maybe go on the counters.“But I like to play quite open games. That gives us opportunities, because we have great players that can exploit that space, with way we’ve been building the squad over the last four years.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS“That has given us this opportunity now. The structure, everything in the club, makes us want to go even more offensive.”Frank points to Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and 19-goal dynamic duo up front Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wisse as summing up a philosophy he has carried since he was a youngster.Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo shows his skills on the training pitch He added: “I’ve always studied the game massively and for many, many years, I’ve been most attracted to more offensive football.“I always looked a little bit at the Ajax team, the total football idea, and then it was Barcelona, the first Dream Team under Johan Cruyff — which of course also had Michael Laudrup, another Danish player, at the heart of it.“So I watched all those games, incredible. And then, of course, Pep took them to another level.“The first for me was Morten Olsen. He was the head coach of Denmark for 15 years and then was in Cologne and Ajax.“First because he was Danish, in the national team.“He was a centre-half as a player, although more of a librero, the guy who was driving through the lines himself, very offensively minded.”As a coach he was the one who first came up with the 4-2-3-1 formation, with very wide wingers. “He was a little bit ahead of his time in many ways and a big inspiration for me.“But I was also inspired by watching what Jurgen Klopp did at Liverpool.“They were the most difficult team to play against from a defensive side because they attacked from all angles.“Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal as well. I liked some of that, with Bergkamp and Henry, Ljungberg, Pires . . . that was some fantastic football as well.“I got that inspiration and tried to merge it into my own blueprint.”Frank is one of the Prem’s great showmen on the sidelines, too, a whirling dervish in the dugout, kicking every ball and seeking to engage the Brentford fans.Excitement is his demand, although he conceded it might not bring the biggest prizes.’We like to be entertaining’Frank said: “Hopefully, you can be a great entertainer and a great winner at the same time.“Ultimately it is all about winning, no doubt about that. Winning is the most important thing.“So we’ve been looking into it quite a bit. Are we too open? Is that why we’re giving too much away? Do we need to adjust a tiny bit?“I don’t think you can achieve anything massively big without also being quite solid at the back.“We saw it with Liverpool when they won the championship. They’d been close but they bought Alisson and Van Dijk and ‘boom!’ — suddenly they had one of the best defences in the league.“City and Arsenal have done things a little bit the same at times and it is extremely important.“But we like to be entertaining if we can. There’s been quite a few games where we scored and then immediately concede, scored and conceded again.“Then we’ve been good enough to score the third one and finally be on top and in control of the games.READ MORE SUN STORIES“I’d like to have a few more matches like the Leicester game, where we’re winning 4-1, that’ll be nice — and then I’d be a little bit more calm on the touchline.“But we are playing against some good teams.” More

      Mario Lemina and Co’s disrespectful antics are just embarrassing – deal with it the old school way and be done with it

      A REAL team of fighters do not get involved in the sort of disrespectful antics Wolves have recently.Mario Lemina was pushing his own team-mates and coaches after they lost to West Ham this month, and then last weekend Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri clashed with Ipswich players and staff after falling to a late defeat.Mario Lemina clashed with team-mate Toti GomesCredit: GettyMario Lemina was held back by team-mate Toti GomesCredit: GettyIf something like that happens once, you go: Right, that’s just someone losing their cool.It’s not the right way to go about things, but sometimes emotions spill over, especially when you are under that much pressure or in a relegation battle.But for it to happen in back-to-back weeks, it looked like they were just reacting off Gary O’Neil after he asked for more ‘fight’ from his team.That is not what he meant.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLWe’re footballers, not tough guys.

      Man Utd considering LOAN deal for Marcus Rashford in January to avoid situation turning toxic

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are considering sanctioning a loan deal in January for Marcus Rashford as the toxic fallout of his recent comments grow.Insiders at Old Trafford fear the situation is fast becoming untenable and that the only solution may be to get the England striker “out of the picture” for a while.Man Utd are considering sanctioning a loan deal in January for Marcus RashfordCredit: EPAManchester United fans and a Marcus Rashford banner v Tottenham HotspurCredit: TNT SportUnited would not loan Rashford to a Premier League rival – ruling out any chance of a switch to Arsenal or Chelsea, who have both reportedly been interested in strikers to boost their firepower.But several clubs in Spain, France and Germany are monitoring the situation and could be interested in giving Rashford an escape-route from his Utd hell.SunSport understands the last 48 hours have caused a huge amount of unrest inside the club.New manager Ruben Amorim spent most of his pre-match press conference against Spurs dealing with questions on Rashford.READ MORE IN footballHe was then pressed on it again after the game, and is likely to be asked in the build up to United’s next game against Bournemouth on Sunday.Amorim said: “We are better with Marcus Rashford, that is simple, and we will try different things to push Marcus to the best levels he showed in the past.”This kind of club needs big talent and he’s a big talent, so he just needs to perform at the highest level and that is my focus. I just want to help Marcus.”Nothing has changed. We believe in Marcus. Marcus is a player of Manchester United, so there’s no change.” Most read in FootballWhy Rashford joining Arsenal is perfect fitBy Martin LiptonMARCUS RASHFORD is at a crossroads.But now the England star has to make the biggest choice he has ever faced – does he care about cash, or about his career?Rashford’s shock admission that he is “ready for a new challenge” after some two decades under the Manchester United umbrella has altered the dynamic around his future.That Rashford might not fit the blueprint of Ruben Amorim – who has now responded to Rashford’s comments – was not exactly a surprise.The Portuguese coach prefers a 3-4-3 formation but appears to have settled on Rasmus Hojlund as his starting central striker and wants two “narrow” inside forwards, with the width coming from the wing-backs.Rashford has always wanted to play through the middle but is often at his best exploiting spaces out wide – and that skillset does not necessarily suit the way Amorim wants to play.Even so, going public with his evident dissatisfaction at being bombed entirely from the squad for the Manchester derby was a major move, even if he vowed there would be “no hard feelings” if he does leave his boyhood club.In truth, Rashford has been leaving United almost from the moment he signed that new £325,000 per week contract in 2023.Something was broken in his connection to the club. His form dropped, his threat dissipated, his issues with the hierarchy deepened.When Erik ten Hag dropped him for hosting a birthday party after a derby defeat, and he later pulled a sickie to miss the FA Cup game with Newport, it felt even then that the writing was on the wall.The facts suggest the love affair has ended. After scoring 30 in all competitions to earn that new deal, he has scored just 15 in the 18 months since it was signed.Amorim’s arrival seems merely to have accelerated what was increasingly inevitable.Now, though, it is up to Rashford to determine what his future will bring.If it is only about the money, then his options might be somewhat limited.It is hard to see a Prem rival coughing up the same £16.9m annual salary – although Rashford’s comments have probably knocked £20m-plus off any transfer fee, even next month.But Real Madrid have their fill of big-money strikers and Barcelona’s budget remains restricted by La Liga financial controls.In Europe, then, that probably leaves PSG – but a move to a one-club league.Or, in the wider world, he could follow the likes of Ivan Toney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Firmino and Co and head to the Saudi desert.Lucrative, yep. Certainly a different environment – and that may be exactly what Rashford both wants and needs. But the football? Not in a million years.What Rashford needs, above all, is to be able to play for trophies and showcase his talents.There is no better stage than the Premier League – which has far more global eyeballs on it than any other domestic competition.And in that Premier League there is one club crying out for a goalscoring No 9, especially if he can also play down the left channel to balance out the side and widen its threat.Rashford has always been more Longsight than London.Yet Arsenal, and Mikel Arteta, might be the perfect fit.The Gunners’ lack of a proper scorer is one of the major factors many fans feel has hurt their title challenge this year.Gabriel Jesus has never been a natural finisher, while Kai Havertz is still a converted midfielder.And while the link-up between Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka makes their right flank deadly, faith in Gabriel Martinelli on the left is waning.There have not been too many who succeeded at Arsenal after leaving United – although Danny Welbeck was not a flop.Rashford has all the attributes to change that history, if he can reproduce what everybody knows is inside him.And by breaking free, giving himself the chance to start all over, Rashford can make a point to Amorim that will resonate for a very long time.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSIt comes after Rashford sensationally told journalist Henry Winter: “For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”Although Amorim has said Rashford is a part of the squad and could have a future at the club, it’s widely accepted now that he will leave in a permanent deal at the end of the season.Ruben Amorim responds to Marcus Rashford’s Man Utd transfer bombshell about wanting ‘new challenge’ Until then a loan-move would help cool the heat around the situation, as well as giving Rashford the chance to put himself in the shop window.Rashford and his advisors know a mega-money deal will be on offer from Saudi Arabia.But the player isn’t thought to be interested in such a move as he still believes his best years are ahead of him.He’s also told pals he still believes he can force his way back into the England squad, where Thomas Tuchel will soon face the task of finding a long-term replacement for ageing skipper Harry Kane.Although a Premier League switch can’t be ruled out, those close to Rashford think he prefers the idea of a total reset by switching to a foreign club where he can look to rebuild his career.Ruben Amorim has said Rashford is a part of the squad and could have a future at the clubCredit: Getty More
