Ratings & Reactions: Brentford v Villa

[villalad21]

We offer nothing going forward.

Honeymoon period well and truly over.

Gerrard look less like Rodgers and more like Benitez in his style.

Very boring football so far. Trez sub was baffling.

[fightoffyour]

Trez needs some lessons at winning penalties off his Egyptian mate.

[Hank Scorpio]

Shithause 

End days of Smith levels of intensity. That cannot be acceptable given the gap we had in between games. 

A deserved loss against shite opposition.

Weekend ruined by a truly classic villa performance

 

 

[Mantis]

**** pathetic. And I can't wait until Brentford eventually go down at some point because they're a guaranteed one point a season. Hate playing those pricks.

[It's Your Round]

[Genie]

The intensity was allowed to drop and drop and drop and we got punished.

For all the possession we didn’t carve enough out. 

 

[LondonVillian]

very poor display - limp dick

[Phil Silvers]

Disgraceful collapse that it and so Villa, one step forward and 2 steps back again and again, transfer came at the right time.

[holteend1982]

Some of these players not good enough and Gerrard will know this. I expect a few signings to come in this window, and the lb will be a priority. 

[villatillidie1980]

I think I say this every January, but I hope it highlights where we need to strengthen. Hause not a good enough replacement CB. 

[NoelVilla]

Poor game management. 

[Panto_Villan]

We’re going to have to do better than that.

[Davkaus]

Load of shit. What a waste of an afternoon

[KangarooVillan]

One thing I’ve notice over the last couple of weeks is that we literally have no width. Whenever players are in wide areas there’s a clear instruction not to put the ball in the box.

Not sure if this is a result of the style/formation we play now, but everything is so central and there doesn’t even seem to be any interplay on the wings.

[Paddywhack]

Shite.

That dive from Trez was embarrassing.

[Nigel]

We need to play this system at a high pace if its to work, traore was just too slow today. he wanted too much time and allowed brentford to settle back.

We really missed watkins and mings as well today.

Just felt we could play all night and not get another from the moment they equalised.

There is plenty to do with this squad!

[TheMightyVillans]

Got into a scrappy mess of a game and it didn't help us.

Desperately need another LB and CB. 

Probably Trez's last game for us.

[andym]

A disgraceful performance frankly

Got the lead and then tried to hold on for 75 minutes doing **** all

Gerrard better think again if he reckons you can get away with that, and get away with looking to create just 1 or 2 chances per game

Teams arent going to gift you goals like in Scotland

[CLARETANDBLUEFOXY]

For me, Hause and Trez have both shown today they need to leave and leave quickly. 

[kevpants]

We have too many demonstrably poor players to kick on. Even with Gerrard kicking them on this squad has too many major weak links to really build a decent run.

Targett and Hause were awful today. Not because they played badly, becasue they aren't good enough. We need defensive reinforcements in a big way.
