Brentford v Aston Villa Match Thread

Holigram keeps raising his arm for no apparent reason

I think Hause has been ok, given he's a centre back. He's been better than anything I've seen from Taylor for months.

We needed a Gayle ,he would have conned the ref for sure

[Nelly]

We look like a team who plays a division below Brentford.

Referee a big fan of Rollerball.

There is no excuse for this utter shit

You mean apart from a bang average and totally unbalanced squad that Bruce left us with?

[Toronto Villa]

I can see why Kodjia wants to get out if he can't get a game when we need a goal.

Too lazy, doesn’t track back

I want him up front and the midfield and defenders to look after that. I get forwards have a defensive responsibility but the main reason they are on is to score goals.

Jogging behind everything... Crap

Nice bit of casual jogging for a through ball by Hourihane

[taylorsworkrate]

Been dreadful to watch. No pace, no urgency, no tempo, lacking basic passing ability.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

This is not good. Still, there's another 4 minutes until we wake up.

Agreed, we will win 3-0

Hourihane is a waste of a shirt - prances round doing sod all.

His efforts at defending today have been shocking.

If you make contact and don't get the ball, it's a foul. And it isn't a contact sport, with the exception of shoulder charges.

Eh?  Since when? Where does it say that in the laws of the game? If it isn't a contact sport then every tackle, and every aerial challenge, every shielding of the ball would be a foul.   

Shielding the ball is legal. Swinging a leg and missing the ball, and kicking a player, isn't.

It was a penalty.

100% agreed.

We certainly haven't been weakened.

To be fair he’s settled down a bit after a torrid first half
