Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Rigadon]

Didn't watch the game, but I'm guessing Brentford were quite happy for us to have the ball, hence us having more of the possession.

Yeah , their rookie manager realised we wouldn't do anything with it so tucked in and played on the counter knowing we were vulnerable at the back with Torres playing . They scored early Emery did nothing to change things .

You’re a massive nause and your anti Emery bollocks is tiresome.

Mid table at best this year

The players looked devoid of any sort of plan , back to "moments of magic" ??
That's on Emery totally .

[PaulWinch again]

The manager has set the team up to play very narrow - which is different to preseason. Of course the players aren’t playing great, but it’s pretty much all of them not playing great. There might be the odd one out of form, but when you have that many underperforming it’s going to be a system issue.

BTW they can fuck off if they think I'll pay over the odds for Chinese sports rags with a trefoil on it and double price tickets if we play like a Paul Lambert team!

Thought Brentford’s press positioning was good as well, always onto Torres and forcing us to give the ball to Mings on his wrong side and ensuring Tielemans and Onana had no space in which to turn. After half time we switched to the two 10s were getting acres of space but unfortunately both Buendia and Rogers had clown shoes on and
None of it came to anything. Back to the drawing board…..

Fucking hell. I don’t think Keith Andrews is that astute.

You hardly need to be astute to ensure Villas best passing defender doesn’t get too much of the ball and ensure Mings, not as good with the ball and playing on the wrong side gets more of it. It worked until Brentford tired and then set up 6-3-1 and utterly nullified us.

Rogers looked totally uninterested, almost as if he wants to be somewhere else.

It’s the second game. It’s been rather disappointing.

I suggest a big boot up the collective backside.

Better luck next match.

[DC1874]

I genuinely think the semi v Palace and last day loss v ManUre were "sliding door" moments

I look forward to the 4 page post Palace victory thread next weekend.

Agreed, looked like he wanted to be back at Villa Park instead of the Gtech Stadium.

Sorry but that’s just bollocks.

Sorry but that’s just bollocks.

Is it? His 'performance' suggests otherwise. Rogers was pathetic today.

[VillaTim]

Tuchel was there today , so was Claudia Schiffer . I doubt Rogers was uninterested, just played shit .
