Keith Andrews

"We need to look at ourselves and not the officials." Keith Andrews said Yehor Yarmoliuk must learn from his red card in Brentford's loss to Liverpool. Losing him and Vitaly Janelt: "It'll be a challenge. That's why we have a squad." Cover: Mamadou Sangaré and Mathias Jensen.

Kevin Schade, carrying an injury, was a second-half sub in Brentford's loss to Liverpool. Keith Andrews said Mathias Jensen's half-time exit, back from injury, was planned, not about form. Sepp van den Berg, first start since surgery, came off after pushing hard with 10 men.

"No hesitation about starting Dango. He was brilliant." Keith Andrews on Dango Ouattara, who came into Brentford's starting XI for the injured Kevin Schade in the 17 October loss to Liverpool, their first defeat of the season. Andrews: "We'll reset and we'll go again."

Yehor Yarmoliuk and Vitaly Janelt, sent off in the 2-1 defeat to Liverpool, are suspended. Brentford head coach Keith Andrews: "Yarmo needs to do better, so I can understand why it was a red." Janelt's second yellow? "Could there have been a bit more common sense? I think so."

"He's just not quite been himself," Keith Andrews said of Dango Ouattara, ill on Burkina Faso duty. The Brentford boss has no real concerns and expects him to play a lot of minutes. Yehor Yarmoliuk's shin, which cost him last season's finale, needed careful managing all summer.

Mamadou Sangaré has not started Brentford's last two games, but Keith Andrews says that is not solely down to the midfielder. "Mamadou has been outstanding since he's come in," the manager said. "Mamadou will play a lot more games for us, a lot more minutes."

Keane Lewis-Potter, a left-back in pre-season, played the No 10 role in Brentford's draw at Villa. Manager Keith Andrews has always seen him as versatile: "I can see him playing in different positions and that's why we went with him."

Jannik Schuster and Kevin Schade, both off injured at Villa, have trained on the grass, but Keith Andrews would not commit to either for Brentford v Liverpool on 17 October. He is "fully anticipating" Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg and Mikkel Damsgaard being involved.
