Aston Villa v Brentford Pre Match Thread

[Rigadon]

If we stick with the same team, the first instruction needs to be: win the fucking 50/50s.  Be aggressive and do not let, do NOT LET them bully us anywhere on the pitch.  We have enough quality footballers to do the rest.  Oh, and take the chances when they inevitably come along.

Do that and we might win then game despite having Olsen in goals. 

I read that back and imagined Steve Bruce saying it.  To be clear, I don't think we can progress rolling wor sleeves up.

I do think we need to get back to wining tackles though.

This is spot on for me

We’ve got to shake it up a bit both tactically and with players. Mings, Barkley, Maatsen and Duran need to start as well as Onana if fit.
Unfortunately we don’t have many options out wide so a re think from Emery would be good.

I agree, we need a shake up of the starting XI, all of the above mentioned should start tomorrow night.

We really need to start winning games or the season will be wasted. I'll go for a nervous 1-0.

Problem being , some players can't help being bullied

Loads of seats available still , Upper Trinity looks particularly bad

Isn't that a bit pointlessly snarky?

I don't really see what is so laughable in what they're suggesting?

Who are you referring to Corey? I thought I’d check before replying.

Isn't it obvious.

No, hence why I asked.

-------- Olsen --------
Cash Konsa Mings Digne
--- Kamara - Tielemans
McGinn----------- Buendia
--- Watkins --- Bailey -----

Still pretty strong just need to fully protect Olsen , limited playing out from the back and a bit more old school tomorrow

[Martyn Smith]

Olsen did OK Sunday I thought. No errors and couldn't do much about their goal

Pay £72 for a ticket to sit on the cold, or watch it for free as part of my Amazon Prime subscription in my parents' lounge. Tough choice...

This is the first season since we came back up where demand has dropped and it isnt as difficult to get a ticket amymore.

Hecks done a tremendous job making fans want to go..
