Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[eamonn]

A filthy dirty away from home win. We struggled to put together three consecutive passes in last 30 mins and our goal led a charmed life at times. Right back in the mix for top 5 now. I thought Digne did very well on Mbuemo, Disasi was very strong in the tackle, Mings very solid again. Don't think we got much off the bench today though. Tielemans and Rogers running on fumes too and should have been replaced long before the end. Poor old Malen looked really pissed off.

Olsen 7, Disasi 8, Konsa 6, Mings 8, Digne 8, McGinn 6 (Kamara 5), Tielemans 6, Bailey 4 (Cash 5), Ramsey 7 (Rashford 5), Rogers 5, Watkins 7.

Blimey Bronte you've given some rational player ratings there. Are you ok mate? 

He didn't leave comments on the ratings though which is a shame as they're always a treat.

I agree with the last 2 posters. I know as Brummies we often take a glass half empty approach but some of the negative comments following an away win are not the encouragement the team need. We took the lead and they could not find a way to get through. An excellent 3 points.

Massive win.

[eamonn]

Great three points but in the first half we attacked them and they hardly had a look in, the second half we defended the lead gave them most of the possession and looked ragged at times. Why do we do this? Disasi MOM, Rashford not sure about him, Mings a captains game.

When you take the lead away, you're going to get the home team upping the intensity. Brentford have scored the most home goals all season, and our clean-sheet record is one of the worst. We're not playing in isolation so while nerve-racking, it's understandable. Also, our ability to counter at lightning speed means we always retained a danger.

Massive win.

Massive as in it still keeps us in the CL chasing pack. A massive away win will be when we beat Brighton 3-0.

We've won, that's why. We won't hear a peep off him now until we lose next.

Rashford not exactly busting a gut to shine is he. Bailey was garbage as usual. Rogers needs a fortnight in dubai.

Nice to see you seek the positives from an important win.

He was absolutely hammering Rashford when we signed him. Pure agenda. Ignore.

Rashford was poor when he came on. He was hardly involved. We lost all balance in midfield when Ramsey went off. Don't think Rashford is suited to playing on the left of our four. From memory, at his best at Man United he was left of a three and playing on the counter.

Im.still not convinced  100% we should sign him permanently tbh. Happy to have him here until end of season but i would rather asensio out of the two

Massive win.

Yep very important and a great platform for the last 9 league games.

Ugly win but we haven't had many of those away in the last 12 months.

What was good was our intensity in the first half and start of second. Miles better than what we've had after majority of CL games.

We won and once more the table looks alright with possibilities.

Wild game from Disasi but loved his passion after some of the blocks. Olsen had his once a season Balon D'or contender match which was huge.

We won and move on to April which will decide our season.

That's exactly the type of performance & result we were getting in the first 18 months under Emery. It's rare that teams dominate the game completely & small margins tip the results one way or the other.

Disasi & Tielemans were outstanding.

Getting ugly wins is very enjoyable, and if you can do it with clean sheets it really widens your scope to go on positive runs of results.

[SamTheMouse]

Excellent result, that. An important three points, too.

I'm already a fan of Disasi.

Brentford are still twats. Looking forward to their return to their natural station in a few seasons.

And look at this Twat in Chief.
