Brentford vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[devilla]

Malen for Bailey and Rashford for JJ and we can win this.

[Mellin]

Gonna be honest, I'm pretty bored. We're midtable this season and it has been clear since about December.

All about the cups.

Not a bad away performance, so far. We were never going to win this one five-nil. Hopefully we can sneak in a chance.

[JUAN PABLO]

the front lot poor again

youri and mings been excellent , disasi hasnt been bad to be fair.

bailey . how does he get picked infront of Malen I never know .

Id have rashford at HT as he could destroy these .

[SamTheMouse]

Well, I thought that was a fine first-half performance. Just needed Bailey and Watkins to be sharper.

[kippaxvilla2]

I thought we were the better team.

FTFY

Lacking pace. Which is on the bench.

Is Olsen the worst keeper the Villa have ever had? I'm 55, and can't think of another who was worse. Nylan was bad, but he redeemed himself with his sneaky little manoeuvre v Sheff United.

I stand to be corrected, by some older supporters.

Bunn(y) and Kalinic were worse. Nyland was dreadful too.

[Flamingo Lane]

Not a huge talking point from an uneventful 45 mins, but wtf was that offside decision against Disasi in their box, when he so obviously stepped away from the play? I just don't understand offside any more. 

[Legion]

Strong at the back. Decent midfield. Powder-puff up front.

Agreed.  Just need a little more quality in the final third. 

[Steve67]

Bailey, another tremendous no show.  Seriously, what's the point of him.  Generally played ok as a team and on top without looking really dangerous.  I do wish Tielemans or SJM would pull the trigger on occasion though. 

[ROBBO]

We are dominant but can't finish, we are looking at them getting one then hanging on. Bailey is shit.

[Nii Lamptey]

I’d say Tielemans and Ramsey have been our best players first half.
Mings and Konsa looking strong, McGinn and Rogers average.
Bailey absolutely needs hooking for Malen, maybe Garcia on for Disasi too.
