Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Mister E]

Monchi and Vidagany have blood on their hands for the shambolic way they've managed our transfer dealings.  Get rid of them.

That's a pretty tasteless way of describing things, even in the heat of a poor defeat.

[SaddVillan]

Monchi & Co have got a lot to do next week.

PSR/SCR really cramping our ability to bring players in.

The squad is lacking quality and depth.

Too many players playing well below their best levels and we haven't got alternatives.

When we go behind, or face teams that set up uber defensively our passing and movement is far too slow to break teams down or create space and opportunities.

Steady dear 🤔😃

How embarrassed as a manager should you be if you are out managered by Keith Fucking Andrew’s ?

Our style of play is becoming antiquated, boring and predictable.
If you have a half decent defence then Aston Villa must be the easiest team to defend against. All the play is in front of you and played at walking pace.
Fucking hell, I could defend against that.

So many individuals that deserve a bollocking, but special mention for Rogers and Torres. Both absolutely fucking shit.

It’s difficult to blame Roger’s too much. He has been poor for months and needs taking out of the starting 11 for a while, but for some reason the manager appears blind to it.

That is not ANOTHER bad day at the office….its a worrying pattern that is developing.

[BoVillan esq]

Said it before, we need to do way more in the transfer window, I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if we see more players leave in last minute deals, that's what today looked like, equally, I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised to see Uni look elsewhere.

[Woody17]

Just feels like that perpetual cycle that Villa cannot escape.
Just when we think good times are coming it all goes back to shit again…..

Our game plan is worthless when we go a goal down.

[Proposition Joe]

Rogers seriously needs dropping. Whether it’s lack of effort or injury, he’s just not offering anything. Slow to the ball, barged off it every time…. Not been good enough for ages.

Someone mentioned something a while ago, might have been here, that our xG takes a hit whenever Rogers is in the team. If he himself is not on it, the team creates very little. He seems to be one of Unai's sacred cows though.

[Smirker]

The alarm bells are ringing for the claret and blue.

OK that was funny.

I like Rogers a lot but he was really poor today. In fact I can't remember the last time he played well. I hope all of the plaudits and speculation are not going to his head. His entire game plan at the minute seems to be to try and beat every man until he loses the ball.

Today was especially poor, 70% possession against a poor side and their keeper barely had to make a save.

Buendia confirmed what we already know about him. He is busy, with lots of huff and puff, but he has zero end product. Onana continues to flatter to deceive. He should give so much more but mre often than not he flits in and out of a game.

Torres is soft and Cash is not good enough. I thought Tielemans was our best player by a mile.

Early doors, but I think we are going to struggle to stay witn the top 6 this season.

[AV82EC]

Only watched the second half. We could have played to midnight and not scored. Simple formula to beat us, start fast, get a goal up then sit and defend as we haven’t a clue how to break it down.

Positives

Possession.
Thought Guessand looked ok when he came on.

Negatives

Special mentions for Buendia and Rogers who were absolutely fucking terrible. Soft as shite on the ball and lost it every time they got it.

Everything else.

[enigma]

Still think Brentford are in a relegation battle but that's the type of team we struggled against last season.

Remember when we played the high line and played high octane football from the off? Emery changed to this slow patient walking football and it's made us worse.

[Brend'Watkins]

I said it before the season started. Keep Ramsey and sell Rogers. He was poor first half and worse 2nd against average players.

I think we have had our moment.

Not really.  The message they've given all summer is "everyone's for sale".  Can't think of any other club who have a sporting director who actively tries to sell its best players for the smallest price possible.  No wonder the morale of the squad is so low.  They're both incompetent clowns and they need calling out for it.
