Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[AGRIPPA]

When Mings or Torres is standing on the ball on the halfway line for an eternity before playing sideways, I’m not sure they are performing PSR calculations.
Then again, it would explain a lot.

I really do broke they are playing to orders…….i think they hope the opposition will eventually give up!!

Overall compared to teams like Brentford it's seems the team believe we don't have to put in that extra effort to get a result, should have been a win if you compare both teams regardless of financial issues, well done Brentford because they know they aren't world beaters but put that extra effort in

Toothless with no cutting edge.
 Like watching a cave man trying to cut down a tree by using a wooden club.

The seeds of the poor performances against Newcastle  and Brentford were there in the  "No show" performances against palace in the FA Cup Semi Final and Manchester United on the final day of the season. Both of the latter were strategically important matches where there was truly no ign of any plan from Villa other than slow, highly predictable football that was totally ineffective.
We have to accept that there will be times when there is a "bad day at the office" so to speak but at the moment  Villa currently seem to be in some form of tactical transition which involves inertia and carelesness  and an absence of speed and enterprise.
Let's hope this is just a temporary blip but the poor play at the end of last season leeds to suspicion that there is more to this than just a minor slump.

You're right about the Man utd game and the Palace semi but we didn't win 10 if the last 11 league games with no plan.

The thing that worries me the most is that we look fairly lethargic now and, we haven’t even started with the European matches yet.
