Aston Villa v Brentford Pre Match

[Rigadon]

A must win game.  I agree with the Roger’s stuff above, he looks like he could be sensational in the future.

Rogers has got that little dinked through ball in his locker hasn't he? I noticed it a few times on his Youtube reel and it was put to good use last night.

He's also got the 30 yard inch perfect defence splitter as well, which is nice. I'm going to enjoy watching him mature in the years to come, he's got loads of ability.

[LeeB]

Me too mate, him and big Jhon.

I can see us evolving over the next couple of seasons into a team full of 6ft plus skillful bastards that yomp all over teams, and I'm all for it.

Yeah i have to say rodgers seems to be getting better by game. He could turn into a absolute bargain

I've said it before, but Duran seems to realise that charging everywhere like a 12 year old on Sunny D is only going to get him so far, and now that he's channeling that strength and physicality, he looks a much better player. He only has to look at Watkins to see the benefit of timing runs and playing more centrally. Ollie used to try to do too much (albeit in a different  way) and he too looks a better player from Emery's instructions.

Reverse psychology. Like it.

Leeg always predicts a loss going back many a year. I suspect most miss it.

             Martinez
Konsa  Carlos  Torres   Digne
         McGinn   Luiz
Bailey   Tielemans    Zaniolo
              Watkins
 
I suspect he'll start Rogers though.

I think he will have learned so much last night from the duels he had (and mostly lost, let's be honest) with Gvardiol and Dias and what it takes in terms of physicality, technique and discipline to take-on the best in the world.

Spicy game with plenty of ill feeling going into this one. Mee Maupay and Toney all horrid chunts. Hope we are fired up for this.

Think Mee is injured.

Take it easy
I hope nothing nasty and thy get well soon.

Ben Mee can go & fuck himself.

After what he did to Wesleys career, I hope that c**t never recovers...

[Risso]

Brentford have won once and lost 9 times in their last ten away games. I think we should be expecting to beat them comfortably.

I guess we all need a 'thing'

Let’s face it if we can’t then the chances are we’re going to fall away. This is a game we need to win.
