Solid job first half. Ayew mentoring Cullen on the way off. 50-50 possession wise. We played the better football when we could escape the press and the ref’s jaundice. Class move by Ayew. Cabango and Guehi as solid a pair as you’d ever want

The one real offside and the linesman missed it

First time in front of a real crowd in over a year. Hostile to us, but let’s see how much patience they show their team, especially if we can score another

Brentford showed us last season that a victory in the first match doesn't mean much. But I will gladly take it. It looks like we are setting Barnsely up for a counter. They could get one. I hope someone else on this squad can get one in. Don't want to put it all on Ayew's shoulders.

So ... let's be honest ... Invisible lives up to his name, we're playing with 10 and a man shy in midfield. Fulton and Grimes are doing their job plus Invisible's. We're a goal up and a man down. Can we please get Smith on for the second half and even this up.

Indeed, wow that was close..Nope.

The goal shut the commentator up ... finally.
I drew another line. Yes, it was close, but it was not offside. The linesman was also in a perfect position.
Barnsley showing what they are - a shit footballing team. But they are aggressive and combative, bordering on dirty, and the officials are letting them get away with it!! However, Guehi and Cabango have been immense at the back and the rest of the lads were digging in as well.
Great goal by Andre even though he's been fairly quiet but for most of the game the lads have had their hands full dealing with Barnsley's physicality. So far they've done well. The referee is letting the game flow to say the least and he's letting Barnsley get away with a lot; particularly the tackles from behind many of which have been obvious fouls. We need to keep focus, don't give them an early goal to get back into it, then hit them on the break whenever we get the chance. So far so good.
