Brentford vs Aston Villa match thread

[Chris_Jephcott]

We look shocking, tired and shoddy.

How could we look so good in the first half and then throw it away like this?

Simply dreadful.

[BC Villain]

This has been a disgraceful performance

[Rigadon]

Hmm. First big test for SG this then.  Expected to lose the games we've lost so far.  Not this one though. 

 

[olaftab]

Second game we have taken the lead and lost all 3 points. Relegation form.

[pelty]

Trez on.

Trez and Traore should be nowhere near the team, both off to AFCON after today

This.   SG should be developing the youth players.

Spot on!

[DB]

Awful match, we have got worse as this match has gone on. Midfield is not strong enough

[fredm]

I fucking hate these bastards. Like, FUCKING HATE them.

No need to hate them - hate ourselves for being so bloody arrogant and believing we could walk this

[Villan82]

Trez on.

Trez and Traore should be nowhere near the team, both off to AFCON after today

This.   SG should be developing the youth players.

Some of you are very harsh on Gerrard given that 12 of our 22 points have come with him in charge of 8 of our 19 games.

[SoccerHQ]

What a fucking shambles.

We have constantly given the ball away this half.

Brentford have done nothing and yet we are losing.

Gerrard needs to be busy in January because this team is bang average at best.

Xmas has knocked stuffing out of our season.

Had real momentum after Norwich win so of course we have to play the hardest game of the three over xmas while the other two winnable ones get called off.

With Man. United coming out twice probably just going to be stuck in mid table now even if we win a few games in February and March.

Just the life of a Villa fan as ever.

[devilla]

Same old Villa. FFS.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Second game we have taken the lead and lost all 3 points. Relegation form.

Oh fuck off

[Demitri_C]

Ings should have scored simple ast that

[villadelph]

In no way is this Gerrard’s fault.

[Rigadon]

And, we miss way, way too many fucking chances, like that one. 

[TonyD]

This is on SG. 
Very much in the Dean Smith school of shite game management and tactics.
