Brentford vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[Toronto Villa]

The games keep coming. Another very tough a place to go but we need to start winning games in the league.

A shock clean sheet in a 1-0 win. Rashford with his first

MARTINEZ
GARCIA
KONSA
DISASI
DIGNE
KAMARA
MCGINN
TIELEMANS
ROGERS
MALEN
RASHFORD

SUBS: MINGS, PAU, OLSEN, ASENSIO, BAILEY, CASH, MAATSEN, JJ, ZYCH

[Legion]

2-0

[Brazilian Villain]

I'd go with Ramsey over Rashford, and perhaps Mings and Disasi at centre-half.

[PeterWithesShin]

1-4

No Ollie, Toronto?

[Richard]

Should have everyone available except the mysterious Onana and Barkley. Emery needs to mix and match to give us the best chance of 3 points followed by keeping Bruges at bay on the Wednesday. I'd expect Garcia and Malen to both start v Brentford, give Watkins a break on the bench. Although Ollie does have a good record against his old club.

2 1 to us.

Fantastic performance last night but I worry about Tyrone playing 90 minutes 2 games in a row.

Barkley did a ligament in his knee, so being out for a couple of months isn't all that mysterious.

[Toronto Villa]

Not everything needs to be a conspiracy. There are Doctors and physios helping to make a decision with the player regarding treatment and recovery time. And that’s before we get to the manager who has to agree the time is right to introduce that player to training and games. There is the desire or need to play them vs the long term health considerations. Mings likely came back too soon and he’s had his ups and downs since. Cash even said the same last night after the game but he got through it. And there is the players own body and how it recovers. So just because a player doesn’t come back in the window we think is appropriate isn’t some mystery or cover up. It’s very likely lots of factors combined guided by many opinions from professionals at the club.

And Onana?

He's injured.

Would like malen to get some minutes tbh. Ollie usually gets a rough reception  there and although got winner kast season i think it was, it did effect him. So wouldnt be opposed to malen up top for ollie

[VillaTim]

---------- Martinez--------
Garcia Disasi Torres Digne
--- Kamara --- McGinn----
Ramsey __________ Ascensio
--- Marlene ----- Watkins ----
