Brentford 2 v Aston Villa 1 Post Match Thread

Absolute Disgrace. Poor from both Teams like a Championship pre-season friendly

[Legion]

Happy New Year.

[lovejoy]

Not good enough. By more difficult in the premier league than against Ross County.

[Demitri_C]

Dog shit. Hause, targett and trez absolutely awful.

They played in midweek and still looked better than us.

Some serious investment needed. Time to get rid of the dog shit like hause aeg and trez get skme real quality in.


Absolute shambles

[Goldenballs]

Shite, bunch of knobs.

[Richard]

Traore ! Never seen someone give the ball away so much. Trez - embarrassing dive at the end. Targett - too weak especially without Mings by him.

Martinez was good as per usual but he might think it's time to move on sadly.

[PhilVill]

I'll always back the team if they put a full shift in and lose but that was inexcusable. Too many piss poor players stealing a living for far too long. Would be more than happy if Traore and Trez never play for the club again, that play acting by Trez was shameful. I hope Gerrard tears apart in the dressing room, if he doesn't then he joins a long list of managers who just accept mediocrity

[villadelph]

That loss is on the the players.

Everything was good with the exception of creating chances and driving forward in the final third. I thought Traore, Luiz and Hause struggled today but weren’t deserving of some of the nonsense being spouted in the match thread - really disappointed in some of the folks on here who collectively would shift half of the starting eleven out this transfer window by the sound of it.

I think had Watkins, Bailey and Mings been fit we would’ve fared better. I am disappointed as anyone because for the first 40 minutes we were utterly dominant.

We need to keep improving and hopefully get a few decent signings in this window.

[TonyD]

Let’s see what SG says about that pile of shit. 
“Sorry,  I should have hooked  Bert in the first half, I shouldn’t have brought on Trez as he isn’t match fit and will be fucking off to Africa next week and I’m sorry to the youth players for not showing more faith in you.  I really fucked up and not acceptable considering I am supposed to know what I’m doing.”

[kippaxvilla2]

On that evidence we need another four or five players to be anywhere near challenging for anything. 

Trezeguet can fcuk off as well.  A chance to cross in the last minute and he does that.  He should be apologising to everyone in the dressing room. 

[jwarry]

Well at least Gerrard knows our problems now.  Targett, Hause not good enough as they allowed the only two chances they had to become goals which turned out to be enough to win the game

I saw enough to know that we have the basis of a decent team but if we really want to go to the next level then we have got to invest again as the kids are not quite there yet

Smith Rowe and Ward Prowse and potentially keeping Jack would have made such a difference to this side

[tomd2103]

Bad result, but thought the performance was decent enough for long periods of the game.  Just a bit too sloppy and not urgent enough to go on and win the game when the opportunity was there to do so.

In this formation, the creativity has to come from the two inverted wingers and the full-backs.  All four in those positions are quite erratic and waste a lot of chances to deliver in the final third.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

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

I think that's pretty much where Gerrard is too. Matt Targett didn't do himself many favours today and that's without discussing his lack of ability to cross a ball.

[KevinGage]

Traore ! Never seen someone give the ball away so much. Trez - embarrassing dive at the end. Targett - too weak especially without Mings by him.

Martinez was good as per usual but he might think it's time to move on sadly.

It was a good reaction save.

But for a keeper of his high standard he shouldn't be palming it straight back into the path of the guy who's just had the shot. Not helped by the muppets around him today, admittedly.

[Mossie Hennebry]

Nice skills from Buendia for our goal, lovely finish from Ings.
Ramsey struggled to hold the ball and Sanson was shite when coming on. Traore flatters and Hause was all over the shop.
The bench was made up of young fellas, good lads, but a big ask for them.
We need new blood, half the first team squad are just not good enough.
