Aston Villa v Brentford Match Thread

[Matt Collins]

Positivity!

I'm really trying. I've had it beaten out of me repeatedly

Sounds like we're getting back into it a touch?

I'd still fetch gestede off I reckon - more pace up top

[PaulWinch again]

This sustained pressure will only result in one thing. Gestede is far too isolated and the ball just keeps coming back.

[Matt Collins]

That's the point I keep making. Put kodjia up top and get it into the channels. Far easier out ball than trying to play into gestede

[German James]

"Villa in Shite Second Half Shock!"


Why does this happen every single fucking game?

[PaulWinch again]

Fucks sake De Laet injured, yet another injury.

[PaulWinch again]

Play fucking better Villa and attack.

[Nelly]

Sounds like DeLaet is done for the evening. On comes Leo Bacuna.

[AvFc4eVeR]

Grind it out is the message from Tony Cottee on SSN.

We need to learn to do that, our nerves and negativity stem from our late goal giveaway syndrome.

Come on! Positivity!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

At least Richards never came on.

Come on Villa, ffs.

[Matt Collins]

There's still half an hour to go I think?

Only one sub left to make now too. Dread to say it but I reckon Gardner for gestede could be the one. Would leave us with plenty of pace in a front three still

[Nelly]

I think were it not for our tactical setup this evening, we probably wouldn't need to grind it out to this extent. We've not helped ourselves here.

[Deano's Mullet]

Bacunas done OK this season, he can be an asset tonight hopefully

[rjp]

Don't worry everyone.  I had to abandon my trip to the match at the last minute.  On the odd occasion that's happened in the last 5/6 years our win percentage is probably chumps league form.

[Nelly]

Three in midfield would surely help.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to get our foot on the ball and start dominating.
