Brentford head coach Thomas Frank expressed his disappointment with his side's performance in their 3-1 defeat to Everton on Saturday evening.

The Toffees scored from two set-pieces at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday night, and that's one of two specific areas the Bees boss wants to look into after the loss.

“I think that Everton deserved to win," Frank said. "The first five games we played this season, we performed very well - this was a bad performance. We need to learn from that, move forward and bounce back.

“What this group of fantastic players have done very well over all the years I’ve been in charge here is that, after a bad performance, they’ve bounced back. So I expect that will happen on Wednesday against Arsenal.” 

He added: "Everything that Everton came with didn't surprise us. We expected everything, we just handled it poorly. We just didn't deal very well with it. 

“There are two things, besides the bad performance, that we need to look into: one is defensive set-pieces, obviously we conceded two goals and we weren’t on top of them. 

“Secondly, is our quality and decision-making on the ball, especially in the first half. We were throwing the ball away way, way too easy with touches, passes and decisions.” 

Kevin Schade was replaced by Keane Lewis-Potter in the starting XI less than an hour before kick-off after picking up an injury in the warm-up.

And, when asked about the forward's condition, Frank stated: “To be fair, I don't know. I guess it's not top, but I don't know the exact full picture of that.

"I was focused more on preparing Keane to be ready and it's not been at the top of my mind right now.”
