Brentford v Aston Villa Match Thread

[ASHTONVILLA]

Not very good.

Defence do look better, but Hause looks more like a centre back than a left back. Would consider swapping him and Mings.

Midfield is shockingly poor, and the Wingers are lazy.

Still, we are not losing and despite dominating Brentford have not really looked like scoring. Figers crossed we have a better second half.

Well that was turgid as per...

[Mister E]

Hourihane and Adomah mastering that predator cloaking technology. I can't see either of them, it's very impressive.

👏👏👏👏

The only good thing about that half is that we somehow didn’t concede. What will he do now?

Somehow doesn't come into it. These are as bad as us. Desperately poor game.

[brian green]

We have got too many slow, unmotivated players.  We are a million miles off play off standard.

[SoccerHQ]

Hause is doing his very best so far of eliminating himself from any chance of a permanent move.

Isn't he a CB though? Would like to see him play some games there before totally writing him off. Another 5 games and play offs will be out of reach so we will have dead games to do this.

[Villafirst]

Hause has 10 England U21 caps...??

So, what's everyone doing for snacks? Anyone got any good biscuits?

[jimmygreen]

That was a load of twonk. Off to do the packing up.

[footyskillz]

Too many jogging around rather some intensity.
Twice on counters I saw Albert and Conor barely breaking forward to join attack
Last season Adomah would have buried it.
I kinda wish Brentford scored only coz it may have kicked villa up the backside to get going

Takes Hutton to drive forward every so often as no one getting going

[The Edge]

Hourihane ducking a 50/50? Well, I’ve seen everything now.

I think you've nailed the problem with Hologram with that comment. He's a total bottler. Runs around looking interested while managing to avoid anything resembling a physical challenge.f he didn't take all the free kicks and corners you wouldn't know he was playing. He's the complete opposite of John McGinn

[AlexAlexCropley]

As bad a half as I've seen all season. Where is the Smith brand of football? Aimless punts to a lone forward? Jockeying wank which concedes vast areas of the pitch

[Jon Crofts]

The Hutton Whelan throw in routine summed us up entirely.

Hobnobs?

Spot on. No real effort.
