Aston Villa vs Brentford Post-Match Thread

[ez]

Commentator also said two equally matched teams at the end. Is that how far we've come.

I have no clue what smiths tactics were. We were losing everything in the air as their players are tanks. Yet instead of lumping balls in the box play it on the floor. It was poor. We created virtually nothing second half.

Didnt think ings was good.

Poor result  2 points dropped at home. Next up chelaea away followed by united away. Anyone give us a chance on what they seen first 3 games.?

Is it me or did Brentford look fitter?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Forgettable.

Oh and what Monty said.

Their energy levels were higher but it's very early and they won't be able to keep up that aggressive pressing game for the whole season. We weren't bad at all. Especially when considering the players missing. AEG man of the match by a mile.

Supporting Villa is like reliving Groundhog Day on repeat. Another 2 points wasted. We’re a billion miles away from the top 6 on the evidence, injuries or no injuries. What’s our style of play? What’s our identify? Another afternoon of my life wasted.

They tired more as the game went on - they really pressed us, we should have went for it more towards the end to take advantage.

All a bit Meh

I didn’t think it was too bad considering the team we had to put together. Things will improve.

I agree - I feared the worst when we went behind.

Just lacked a bit in most areas - I hope when the missing players return they sort that out for us.

A lot of doom merchants on here. Couldn't go today so had to listen on 5-live. Their take was two good sides battling it out and could have gone either way - an enjoyable game, which fizzled out towards the end. I think we have allowed the 'let's challenge the top six' mantra get to us. Top ten? Maybe. Right direction? Definitely. Shit performance? Not from what I was hearing. I may stand corrected after watching the re-run, but for now we have lots to look forward to.

[Risso]

We were missing Mings, McGinn, Ramsey, Bailey and Watkins for most of it. When you take that into consideration we did OK.

Today’s results epitomize why Jack left.

City stroll to a 5-0 drubbing of Arsenal while we labour to a 1 -1 draw v Brentford.

I watched it on the TV.

It was ok, not very good, not poor. Just lacking in most areas.

Sticking Young into the centre of the pitch, even with all the injuries, was nonsensical.
