Aston Villa v Brentford Post-Match Thread

Why were Onana and Barkley on the bench yesterday?

If the ref incorrectly awarded a goal kick and we scored from the play following the taking of the goal kick?
I think we all know the answer.

Yesterday's events were daft, but this isn't the same thing at all.

I think the difference in CL's example is that the ball would have gone dead and play would have stopped.

Well, exactly. If the ball had gone out of play, we'd restarted the game and then scored then the goal would have been given.

So in his "incorrectly awarded a goal kick and we scored from the play following the taking of the goal kick", suggestion then yes, the goal would obviously be given.

My theory is that UE would have brought them on to shore up a lead.

Even at his best that's not Barkley's game. Stuck for a goal and surely he could have come on next to Tammy.
