Aston Villa v Brentford Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

They had a load of big players in defence though. We had no one that stretched them out of shape, they defended against us easily. Maybe Ollie would have had joy, but it definitely isn't Tammy's game and Rogers didn't drive at them enough. We didn't play badly, but we also didn't play well.

If you're going to sling it in the box for 20 minutes chuck Mings in there

We didn’t sling it in the box at all..? We put one corner in, and it seemed like only Matty had permission to cross from the right. Everything else was 3-man at the corner of the box.

They got a lucky goal - great finish but it bounced straight back at him. 

That var was mental.  They can't say the ball is 100% out - they dont know it is we dont have the technology in place to say that.  And using it in that way is just bent. 

They cant use VAR to correct the bleatent second yellows, or to correct corners given the wrong way.  They cant use it to correct a goal v Man Utd that potentially cost us 50m.  But a ball that was "probably" out 90 yards away from the goal that was scored is just not what it was intended for.

No way that goes against one of the sky 6. 

We lacked composer in the box - but fair play to Brentford the defended brilliantly.

Just when you think we are a genuinely good team we turn back into the Villa we've known for the last 25 years. Fucking Brentford. I didn't see the match, but not scoring vs 10 is one thing, but how did we let those cloggers even score?

[TonyD]

We missed Ollie. 
An underpar Ollie still causes problems. 

[Brazilian Villain]

Tough one to take. Feels like it might have been a pivotal weekend.

We didn't that badly really. It's not as if we didn't have chances. Guilty of overplaying at times and taking silly shots on. Pretty rotten VAR call against us too. Thought Tammy was disappointing but so was Ollie v Everton. Luiz had a solid return. Not starting Onana was a bit silly on the face of it. Elliot just added another similar player to the mix. Awful to lose 0-1 at home to very average Everton and Brentford teams but we go again.

Yeah, Tammy really struggle (disallowed goal apart) when they went to 10. We needed more disruption of the defence.

Yeah.  That call was an absolute ****** trick.

Bloody clueless by Emery. 
Same approach all half.

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

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

What did he get wrong then, Ein Stein?

Should have at the very least put more height in the box with Onana & Mings. 
Also ordered them to give it to Rogers at every opportunity. 

So, sling it into the box and give it to the star kid?

How did he go v Everton?

[Rudy65]

I think we’d have won with 11 v 11

Agree. The weekend where we start looking at who's coming up behind us rather than who's ahead of us. Would be heartbreaking to do a Forest.

They could try both.

I still think 45 mins of continuously crossing into their box would bring more decent chances than constantly passing back and forth across the pitch! It never works!
Their centre backs must’ve thought it was their birthdays!
