Brentford v Aston Villa Match Thread

[SoccerHQ]

I'd just move Cash back to RB personally. Get Konsa back central as he'll defend better one on one against Wissa than Carlos has done.

Not sure you can hook Moreno with Digne not available today. Might mean an experiment with McGinn at LB but not sure that will happen with our lack of CM options.

Really the biggest blow with Luiz out is we needed Tielemans available so in hindsight he should've been rested for the europe match. We don't really have a defence splitting pass in us which is badly needed v their low block.

Would be getting Bailey and Duran on quite quickly in second half although Zaniolo could be first in line.

To be fair we haven’t been that bad - we’ve created chances. It’s the finishing of those chances, and one truly awful bit of defending that’s the difference. My worry is they’ll just sit in now and we’ll find it hard to get through that.

Diaby floating about like Stephen Ireland used to

The only player this season who appears below par.  It's been a couple of months now.

[Bad English]

Sort it out Unai! This is worse than the bad days of TSM.

We clearly have the better players and more than enough quality to beat Brentford. Selection clearly wrong though. Get Bailey on for Cash and get Diaby closer to Watkins

They definitely will and look for balls over the top to catch us.

I’d agreee with that

They are very good at doing that and they will try and hit us on the break.

[VillaTim]

problem is we are chasing this now and they look dangerous on the break.

😂 you little provocateur you

[SoccerHQ]

Could be worse, Man. United down to 9th in the live table (chuckle).

Man. United 9th and Chelsea 10th after nearly half a season, no wonder they both wanted to f*** off to a super league.

[Proposition Joe]

If we cant beat a Brentford with 5 players out

It's so annoying that when we go to these lower-league teams they always seem to drag us down to their level. We have the players to swat these aside, but it's like we try and win while being as shit as they are. And they are more adept at being shit than us.

Even MON knew how to win away from home!

[Monty]

Really surprised by some of the reactions on here. We've been the better side! But we made a sloppy error and the ball fell for them. They've not been terrible, they've had chances, but I think we've been the better team.

Tielemans was already injured and didn’t play in Europe
