Brentford 2 v Aston Villa 1 Post Match Thread

Okay, so if I’m reading this post-match thread correctly..

Target
Cash

Some of you need to get a grip.

Actually, if you take away Cash and Luiz that list isn’t far off if we want to progress to the next level. I’ve always thought we’ve got a pretty good starting 11 but you lose one or two of them and we are always going to struggle

[RamboandBruno]

I don’t like Brentford remind me of Wimbledon

But today’s result was all of our own doing
We can have no excuses

When Trez went down in the box at the end I said to my young lad oooh VAR will look at that You never know
Then when it was showed on the replay we both just shook our heads in total fucking embarrassment

Exactly the conversation me and my son had with the Trez incident.

Thought we dominated the first 35/40 mins, Beundia pulling the strings and McGinn and Ramsey dominated the midfield. Thought McGinn faded after this and Ramsey seemed to lose some edge after he was booked, i also think he was a bit half hearted blocking the cross for the first goal and this might have bern related to the booking as well. Maybe the fact he was on a yellow was the reason Gerard took him off, cant think of another reason.
Wasnt it only Traores first start this season? Think he deserves a break.
Brentford doubled up on Cash and he just couldnt get to the byline, Targett was wasteful. Ings did well i thought, but everything went through the middle too much.
On the whole i just feel flat rather than angry. Off to Old Trafford a week tomorrow with my son, i hope Gerard plays a strong side and they play much better than today .

Wonder if anyone has told Hause where Row Z is yet?

I like Brentford - they have EVERY RIGHT to play like they do given their resources, just as we would if we did that versus against the top 3. We were just too wet (and now the dust has settled, a bit unlucky) do deal with them and their 12th man of a crowd, who it’s hard to deny make a right racket. Really soft-arsed defeat that, but given our record there utterly predictable.

Puke.

Fuck them. They are our bogey side so i detest them. In the championship they always got jammy wins/draws out of us And again this season.

[richtheholtender]

Poor. Big calls for Gerrard to make coming up.

Targett
Luiz
Hause
Traore

Not good enough if we aim to be a top half side.

Add Trez and el Ghazi to that list.

Absolutely. I was just going off the ones he deemed good enough to start today.

Quick question what is the issue with wanting El Ghazi gone? We aren't going to get to many who contribute what he does that are happy yo be a squad player. In fact, looking at some of the other signings Bailey, barkley, troare to name a few, we aren't going to get starters contributing his numbers (either through lack of form or injuries). He's a relatively fit lad, keeps professional and has contributed some important goals and/or assists.

Thought their support was about as good as their team today (ie not very) until the late winner.

Was expecting the sort of racket that Stoke and Palarse fans made in that initial honeymoon period coming up.

They probably expected to beat us, based on the last five years. Fast-tracked to complacency already.

That’s a terrible defeat. Seems our latest Covid shutdown has really taken the momentum away from us. Instead of playing Burnley at home after an easy win at Norwich it’s all come apart a bit. Somewhat understandable given the circumstances. But it’s also revealing to the manager just who might make it and who needs to be replaced as the window opens. We were very good at times today and conceded a very poor goal right before the break. After that it was an even game until their goal. This won’t sit well with Gerrard.

This is on Gerrard at least as much as any player.

Who is gerrard suppose to choose? I mean look at this squad its down to the bare bones with a 16 year old on the bench.

At least gerrard knows where we need players and who is shit *coughs* trez

Tree was clearly not the right call - Chuck got an assist against Norwich - Archer has shown he knows where the game is.  Maybe tees could have come on for 1 of the full backs who both showed very little going forward

[Deano's Mullet]

I like el ghazi. I'd have brought him on for Traore.

[Brazilian Villain]

Disappointing.

I think the question is are these the players that will take AVFC onto a European challenging spot? I think on what we saw today the answer is no.

We had been doing quite well over our last 6 league games with the same group of players. No one was complaining after our away win at Old Trafford, or our impressive win again Leicester.

Like, come on guys. This is football. We shouldn’t be throwing some grass in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.

We were the better team today but just didn’t get the goals.

but we hardly troubled their goalkeeper until we were losing and Brentford play like this every week.
I thought regardless of some nice midfield play we were impotent and got what you get when you play like we did today.

Fair enough
Of course they’ve got every right I still don’t have to like it
I don’t like it when we’ve played like that in past seasons either

But as my post said I blame us for today’s result no one else

The worst part was he’s done really well, got himself into a great position- just cross the bloody ball.  No situational awareness that it’s the last seconds and you just need to put it in the mixer!

I think that’s a very good list of players not good enough. You have done well to not put swear words in front of most  of them,

Sat in a Clapham pub.Just can't believe we lost.

I read earlier that we haven’t beaten them at their place since 1953!
That’s one heck of a bogey team
