Brentford faces a crucial season as they navigate changes following the departure of manager Thomas Frank. They achieved promotion after a playoff final loss in 2020 and maintained a steady Premier League presence. The club’s top scorer Bryan Mbeumo last season contributed significantly to the team's success, raising questions about his future. The decision to appoint set-piece coach Keith Andrews reflects Brentford's unconventional strategy. Consistency in performance, particularly after Christmas, will be key for building on last season's 10th place finish.
Brentford's play-off final loss to Fulham in 2020 marked a pivotal moment for the club, which subsequently achieved promotion and has enjoyed four seasons in the Premier League without dropping into the bottom three.
Bryan Mbeumo was pivotal to Brentford's attack with 27 goal contributions, second only to top players like Salah and Isak last season, raising concerns about his future.
The appointment of Keith Andrews as manager, despite his lack of experience, signifies Brentford's maverick approach to coaching, which has historically led to their success.
Mikkel Damsgaard showcased his playmaking ability with 10 assists last season, with potential to be even more impactful by increasing his goal tally.
