thunderball Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Buendia is struggling physically today, he seems the likely candidate for change second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be much better in the second half. Come on Villa. Fair summary. Only thing I'd add is we need to be a bit stronger in midfield, was disappointed how many 50/50s they won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 At least we aren’t losing. Emery will fix this, been too sloppy first half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Sloppy at times. Feels like Emery wanted to feel how Brentford would set up and come at us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 As i said before the game the expectation that we would perform to the level as Newcastle is unrealistic Havent been bad just not doing enough in final 3rd They have kept ollie quiet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Very tough as expected. Good to get to half time at 0-0. If there's gonna be a winner then this is a 1-0 either way, hopefully its us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously ain't seen any of the top six struggle with Brentford. They can be a frustrating team to play against at times. Emery masterclass half time team talk incoming. 2-0 full time Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Mbuemo pressed high up the pitch is keeping Moreno from pinned back. Need to figure that out for the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I feel Brentfords game plan have been spot on. They've stifled Ollie out. Granted, we haven't been sharp or precise enough with the few opportunities we have had for breakthrough 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted April 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2023 This Brentford side is well drilled and very fit, I think we’ve got the beating of them on actual quality though. I think we’ll see a Unai super sub, maybe Bertie, and that’ll change the game for a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like him as a pundit, i think we need more of this dry and simplistic, back to basics style. Yes him and Woodcock up front were lethal. I like his co commentary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) That was certainly a half of a football match. Gary Birtles is close to breaking me. Edited April 22, 2023 by wishywashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 To be fair, I've seen us have away performances likes this, where we then go on to turn the team over clinically in the second half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
