Bloody clueless by Emery. 
Same approach all half.

You are always great for the comedy. Should we sack him then

I didn't think we was that bad - created quite a bit.

It wasn't.

Freak result.

You cannot tell me that the goal we scored was out of play.  The linesman didn’t call it.  Neither did the ref.  And the video was inconclusive.  Zero proof.  Antonio’s the cunting goal.  We played all the way up the pitch too.  That is a scandalous decision on my view.

They had every single bounce of the ball too. 

Freak result.

Onwards.

Are VAR gonna start checking every time a ball goes out from now on? Villa against 10? We knew what was gonna happen. Very disappointes but they defended like 10 Paul McGraths and we had no idea.

We need to lobby for a change in the rules so we get a choice as to whether the opponent loses a player.

Really poor tactics second half. We now have a proper 6ft plus CF and just play tippy tappy around the box

Failed to beat 10 man Sunderland, lost to 10 man Brentford. Elite sides don't tend to do that.

Anti-football won today.

I really don’t think we were all that bad. Even on their goal, Pau positioned himself perfectly to block the initial cross and it went straight back.

Most shots we’ve taken all year. I thought Doug and Cash looked good today. We really didn’t hone in on Tammy when we went a man up, which I thought was a mistake.

Just a huge stinkin pile of crap today.

Was the ball out is going to be the next 'why didn't Barry take the penalty'.  Let's just guess eh?

No, we have a real issue upping the tempo when a side just blocks the centre of the pitch.

So you don’t agree Emery was tactically inept today?   On other days he is a genius but today was a stinker.

Absolutely horrendous. The double done by Brentford. Back to back 1-0 defeats after Everton. Title challenge in tatters. Of course injuries have crushed us and getting new players to settle in isn’t easy. But there is no excuse for that. Oh and VAR can fuck right off taking an eternity and literally finding every margin and angle to disallow goals. We would have won had that stood but now two games in a row a massive VAR decision has impacted the possible outcome.
