Aston Villa 0-1 Brentford - the the fandom' verdict
Villa need to find a way to break down teams who just park the bus.
What’s Happening
Here’s the thing: Villa need to find a way to break down teams who just park the bus.
VAR should never have intervened as there was no clear evidence to prove the ball was out - so not a clear and obvious error - goal should have stood. Aston Villa 0-1 Brentford - the the fandom verdict Story by [BBC] BBC Sun, at 6:18 PM UTC · 2 min read We asked for your thoughts after Sunday’s Premier League game between Aston Villa and Brentford. (shocking, we know)
Here are some of your comments: Villa the fandom Ian : A woeful performance from Villa.
The Details
Someone signing in after half time would not have realised Brentford had 10 men. Villa huffed and puffed playing slow short passes outside the Brentford box without creating any real chances Steven : Like with Everton, we huffed and we puffed but without any of our standout long term midfield trio of Kamara, Tielemans and McGinn we aren’t able to turn over teams with that incisive pass or in transition.
Fair play to the Bees, they dug in and took time out of the game - who wouldn’t I guess… Magy : If it’s 0-0 when the opposition has a player sent off and, despite having more than a half to play, you still lose, you get what you deserve. Ged : Just not good enough - Groundhog Day when attacking and hitting a wall of Brentford players.
Why This Matters
Well done Brentford though, they defended valiantly. Brentford the fandom George : A thoroughly deserved win that showcases just how far our defensive stability has come - we have always struggled to hold onto a lead and have been wholly outmatched on several previous visits here. If only they gave you a fourth point for winning with ten!
Players and coaches will be watching how this unfolds closely.
Key Takeaways
- Mel : Despite Villa’s injury list (we know what thats like), its still a ‘wow’ for this victory.
- To beat Villa away with 10 for about an hour, shows high levels of focus & resilience.
- This squad and management team continue to impress (even after last weeks loss) and they deserve nothing but praise.
- Shade’s red - well, let’s hope he learns from this.
The Bottom Line
Shade’s red - well, let’s hope he learns from this. Neel : not it judgment , once again.
