Aston Villa v Brentford Post-Match Thread

[RamboandBruno]

I felt you could tell after about 10-15 mins, it was going to be a struggle today. Saying all that if Tammys goal had stood i think we go on to win.

As has been said we missed Tielemans guile and McGinns drive.

It was really frustrating in the second half but as opposed to some comments on here and in the ground, I dont think lumping it in the box would of achieved much against their big centre backs.

Some positives, I thought Dougie really grew into the game and good to have him back. I also don’t understand the pile on, on Bailey, he worked hard, made one great challenge when Thiago was nearly through and was a threat.

The idea we bottle it, is melodramatic nonsense.

And I believe Ollie would of scored a hat trick and Smirker really needs to provide proof that he wouldn't of.

attacking the Holte end first half, then playing against 10 men
You knew we were fucked

We attacked the Holte end first half again Bournemouth. 10 men issue is valid.

The crowd was up at the start, kicking towards the Holte first has worked for us previously.
We’ve scored some great goals from outside the box this year but today it was wild shooting. Did look to me like Elliot’s shot was goal bound but stopped by the head of their defender.

[Villatillidie1982]

I am sure I read that we have a better record when we attack the Holte End in the first half. It's no excuse.

[eye digress]

Didn't we have a near identical VAR decision against us last year, where Ollie appeared to run the ball out of play at the North Stand end?
 

[martin o`who??]

No one to blame but ourselves, played a bang average team who were down to ten men for an hour and still couldn't score. To make it more galling they scored AFTER the sending off. To be fair they defended to the death but then again they had to didn't they. They had the run of the ball all afternoon and the VAR fiasco takes some accepting - does anyone at FIFA give a flying fuck about the paying spectator who has to sit through all that nonsense. They nearly scored from the resultant throw in and if thats gone in a riot would have followed I'm sure. How come Kelleher gets attention from their Physios and didn't have to go off and come back on again??. All three were in the back of the net but so they could theoretically claim they were off the pitch but you can't continue playing like that. It may have been worth switching Pau for Tyrone for the last 15 minutes or so because he is far more of a threat from set pieces They were a nasty niggling horrible side who reminded me of Allardyces Bolton but they beat us and we've only got ourselves to blame.

Just a utterly shit weekend all round. Most results went against us. Someone  we managed to duck it up against ten men. It was painful on the eyes

Slow predictable  pedestrian  football.  This game could have gone on for another 10 hours and we wouldnt have scored. We were a shambles at times in this game.

I just cannot believe we have zero points against everton and 10 man brentford at home. That is absymal

We're third in the table.  Calm down and look at why we're there.

Im very calm actually so abit strange  why you have said that when thwre has been worse posts for many pages before- i stand with all my post its not OTT or reactionary  that's how it is in my view

It is abysmal to have 0 points or goals 0 in last two home games. We were alsmo played off the park for long periods of the game vs salzburgs youngsters. Its not been good the last three home games overall

Its because you go stupidly over the top whenever we lose and try and sound as angry as possible. After Newcastle, you were 'so proud of this team'. What's changed? We've lost a whole first choice midfield and had Ollie out today. Try and look at things in context before coming out with silly things like 'Salzburgs youngsters'.

We've drew a blank in 3 of our last 6 games now. I was hoping the window would improve our attacking impetus but we're having to use it to plug holes instead. I'm a little down this evening, I just don't see how a midfield as mangled together as ours is going to offers control and threat. Emery is going to have to fight another fire.

Demitri is a bit of a wailing over-reacter, to say the least, but tbh, I don't see a lot there that hasn't been said by dozens of people on this thread so far.

[puppyfeat]

I just don’t get why Uni didn’t bring Digne on who’s probably the best crosser we have, seeing as we were never going to break them down passing it around the edge of the box - and esp now we have a 6’4” striker to get on the end of them

[eamonn]

Just to say - it seems extremely obvious to me that we missed Tielemans like a missing limb today, and this doesn't seem much discussed yet.

What is there to say about it? We need to find a way to win games with the options we've got. For what it's worth, I thought Luiz looked alright, some nice touches.

It's worth mentioning it, I think!

Q

Yeah, no need to be mean, Meanwood!
I agree with you on Luiz. Some of his touches were swoonsomely deft.

[brontebilly]

As frustrated with VAR as everyone else.

Its about time we realised that the way to beat sides who put every man behind the ball is to go wide and get to the by line rather than trying to thread the eye of the needle in the middle.

Couldn’t understand all the short corners.

We have little height in the same with no Onana or Mings. Made sense to try short corners. Maybe could have swapped Bailey and Sancho for a bit.

I think you have issues mate. Ive not gone over the top on that post but you chose for some reason to pick mine out (as usual despite there being posts 20x worse and not said a word to those posters. Wonder why?)  i just have to sneeze and then you will jump on me. God knows why and not really interested thats your issue.

You want me to say we were wonderful  today? And im proud today after losing at home to 10 men. Why would i do that 😂
It was bad today cant defend that. No excuse to lose that game
Hopefully we put this right next week

Thanks PW and your right i am abit OTT at times why do you think i have cut my posting and i virtually don't post in match threads these days. I am working on it

[Villan82]

I haven't been this angry about a game in years. I just cannot get over that VAR check

I cant remember the last time I replied to one of your posts, its been a while so dont come that 'I only have to sneeze' nonsense. Agreed, there have been some other over the top posts but you seem to go over the top more than most. I don't like the result today any more than you do. I just tend to be a bit more rational. Try it sometime.
