Aston Villa v Brentford Pre Match Thread

[Demitri_C]

Just saw the bad news about emi fucks sake.

No chance of a clean sheet then. Guess we will havet o score 5 to win Wednesday night now 😂

[PaulWinch again]

Watkins literally scored last weekend. Lots of strikers miss chances, he’s actually started to look sharper.

[Steve67]

1-1 draw at best.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

I don't think Duran is a starter but i'm at a point now where i feel he needs to be given some games from the start .

Duran fully deserves a start, he’s a better finisher than Watkins. Ollie has been rubbish and has missed more ‘big chances’ than anyone else in the Premier League.

He's still scored 6 in 13, the misses are frustrating but all strikers miss chances and at least he's making runs and getting into positions. The entire team is struggling and ollie is the only one who really looks even close to scoring at the moment.

2-1 - it'll be messy & nervous but ultimately stabilise the ship.  A late winner.

Just had a look and Brentford have lost 5 and drawn one of their away games, but the defeats were to Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Spurs and then Fulham to two 90+ min goals, the draw to Everton.

So tough game coming up as always against these. It feels like it could be a shitty defeat almost a year to the day of that great Man City performance. Feck it though, ill go with a close, tense 2-1 to us. Watkins (2)

                  Olsen

Cash.        Konsa.      Torres.      Maatsen

                Kamara.   Onana

Bailey.            Tielemans        McGinn

                      Watkins

           

[VillaTim]

We need to not chase the game , keep it very tight and almost hit them on the counter . All out attack against these i worry won't end well

[Mellin]

If Martinez is genuinely out for two months, then Mings, Kamara and Onana need to start every game. Protect the goalkeeper.

If we carry on with the usual backline the season's over.

[ozzjim]

Onana and Kamara told to sit deep and protect is a must. Play the double pivot. Get Tielemans into the 10. Rogers left, Bailey right, Duran up top, deserves a start, Watkins had missed far, far too many good chances to think he can just start the week after.

Villa win. These are awful away from home.

[Mister E]

                   Olsen
        Konsa    Torres   Mings
Cash     Kamara   Onana    Maatsen
           Barkley Tielemans 
                Watkins
Duran, Rogers, McGinn and  - maybe - Ramsey to come on after 60.
We need more pace out wide and our fullbacks are quick. Torres is a distributor not a full-on defender so give Mings a run-out.

Another glaring weakness that wasn't solved in the Summer, reserve keeper hologram. Coming back to bite us now.
