Brentford 2 v Aston Villa 1 Post Match Thread

[kippaxvilla2]

Back to the usual.  Banter club.  Sick to death of losing to utterly mediocre teams it’s been going on for too long.

You'll never take the villa out of aston villa no matter the owners, the manager or the players

[Smirker]

That was poor.

Honeymoon period is definitely over.

Not good enough, we really should have come away with a least a point from that.

[SoccerHQ]

Hate playing these.

COmfortable for half an hour and then completely brainless second half.

Buendia MOTM.

Think this was first match where Gerrard got things wrong second half. Odd choice of subs, surely Archer or Carney could've got on for last 10 minutes?

One of those games that has just passed us by and leaves us rooted in mid table scrap.

[Drummond]

Bollocks.

[The Edge]

They wanted it more. We had the better players they had heart and desire. The owners have stated that they want us challenging for Europe. Gerrard must now see the size of the task ahead of him.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Knew it was going to be a tough game as Brentford never give in but we only have ourselves to blame for that one. A half decent striker would be on my shopping list.

[Bobby Boy]

Let's not dress this up or find mitigation.

Brentford were awful and we lost to them. We have too many nothing players. Constantly giving the ball away, little creativity, no urgency.

11 defeats out of 19 games tells it's own story.

A horrible, horrible defeat.

[KevinGage]

Brentford didn't even play well.  They didn't need to.

Absolute load of old cock.

For all the possession in the first half, their keeper wasn't exactly overworked throughout. It's one thing not getting shots off against Liverpool or Chelsea, quite another against a side like that.

The Brentford defence and keeper could have had the deckchairs out for most of the second half. All the play was in front of them, going nowhere slowly. Rubbish.

[Villan82]

Fuck off.

[Nev]

Tripe.

[Proposition Joe]

After a really positive start under Gerrard we have morphed into Aston Villa again last couple of games.

This squad needs to run to stand still if that makes sense. Ie, we are capable of beating most teams if we're 100% on it, but can't really win even easy games if we're at 75% or so. 3 points chucked in the bin today.

[BC Villain]

Got what we deserved for fannying round after we scored.  Trezeguet's moment of stupidity at the end epitomises what total clusterfuck that was.  Brainless and totally unprofessional

[Clark W Griswold]

Wank

[nick harper]

We are so one-paced. More dynamic full backs are a must.
