Brentford vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[Somniloquism]

Wow, I don't know how you managed to put every attacking player into a position which would screw them over. That is some going.

[PaulWinch again]

Watkins will score against them, he plays.

[not3bad]

Important game but we have to have an eye on Wednesday too. Therefore -

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

[stevo_st]

Konsa with a marauding run and ‘top bins’ finish.

[RamboandBruno]

What I would pick...

Emi

Garcia - Desasi - Torres - Digne

Kamara - Tielemans

Rogers - Asensio - Malen

Watkins



What Unai will pick:

EMi

Konsa - Desasi - Mings - Digne

Kamara - Tielemans

Bailey - Rogers - Rashford

Watkins

If malen is better think he will start ahead of Bailey, also think Asensio may start, possibly ahead of Rogers, Ramsey may start ahead of Rashford, then swap them all round on 60 odd mins.

Id probably take a draw here

I've no time for Brentford Nylons and their horrible G-Tech Superdome or whatever it's called and they have been a thorn in our side back to the days in the Championship so I tend to approach these games with trepidation.

Two more games until we get a well deserved break, a bit of rotation here with Weds in mind and I can see us getting a result. We need to stay in touch with 5th so that when we return to League action in April we storm up the table with a late run. Draw will be ok but a win it is.

2-1

[darren woolley]

I reckon we will beat Brentford 2-1

Should have everyone available except the mysterious Onana and Barkley.

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

And Onana?

He's injured.

Permanently.

[VillaTim]

I'd be offloading Onana in the summer sadly won't happen without taking a big loss , unless there is any Saudi interest

[PaulTheVillan]

I hope Ben Mee doesn't start this one.

1-1

[Clampy]

Should have everyone available except the mysterious Onana and Barkley.

And Onana?

He's injured.

Permanently.

Injured Again (Naturally).

[JUAN PABLO]

Top 5  guarantees  champs league .    Lets get a  win .

Id rest one of youri and SJM if we can .  Malen to get a start if he has recovered .

[eamonn]

Exactly the sort of game we're shite at playing - away to physical teams who have dangerous forward players.

And we never seem to learn. 3-1 Brentford.

[LeeB]

Exactly the sort of game we're shite at playing - away to physical teams who have dangerous forward players.

And we never seem to learn. 3-1 Brentford.

And after a Champions League game. I'll go with your prediction and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

[itbrvilla]

A defeat by 3 goals.
