Brentford 2 v Aston Villa 1 Post Match Thread

I’ve always liked Traoré
But have never felt Trez would be good enough

I still haven’t change my mind

Same. Traore needs to get into his rhythm, but he can make things happen. Trez is a trier at best (a bit too much sometimes, as we saw in injury time today), but not much else.

Hate that stat about not beating them since 1953. It's utterly meaningless if you've played about a dozen games against them in that time.

Had Mings played today we'd have at least got a point. Lack of leadership at the back. Hause had a mare. Also, we really miss Nakamba. Signings needed fast!

If we genuinely aspire to European football as the owners seem to want then both of these two are miles away from being good enough.

I still like him though
even after reading your comment

Ha, yes, we all have our favourites. Nakamba for me.

I think Bert is a good player to have in any squad - happy to see him stay.  I think Fred can go, AEG if we can get cash for him.  Think Bert vales into the upgrade but keep for backup category, along with Targett, Cash and possibly Sanson

Sobering thought of the day. We've lost more games than Newcastle now and only Norwich and Watford have lost more

We've won a lot more though. That tends to help.

I'd like to see new players signed first before letting any go and weakening the squad. For instance today, Tuanzebe not there as cover with Mings suspended - talking to Napoli?. Watkins apparently has Covid so Davis was let go too early - only Ings there as an experienced forward. We do this all the time.

Quite right. Just as the league table shows.

That’s another poor second half from us and again while we were on top in the first half we haven’t tested the keeper enough. That’s our biggest issue I think.

One very positive outcome from today is Buendía played very well. I do like him a lot. I thought I substitutions were very uninspiring. I presume he wanted to see what Trez was all about and also wanted Traore to have a decent amount of game time, maybe also protecting Ramsey as well.

[martin o`who??]

Death and taxes and Aston Villa conceding late fucking Goals.......

After watching this and reading the comments, I took off my Claret and Blue Glasses.
I can not think who on that performance would get into a top 4 starting 11
Watching Chelsea vs L/pool even Martinez would struggle
A few subs and squad players, that is the problem. we need some seriously better performers
Let go and never miss, Targett, Trarore, Luiz, and Hause
Others could improve with new blood around them
My consolation is that, I think that Gerrard is no fool and must have been promised a war chest.
Better needed across the pitch
