Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Brentford

[gilbertoAVFC]

We have the worst "supporters" in the league. I laugh in the face of anybody who left early or didn't sing unless we were winning if they are complaining about the money they spent on the game.

Well, a point is probably fine in the grand scheme of things. Frustrating though.

Two points dropped. If ever those doggies Manure players needed an incentive to beat the dippers tomorrow we've just given it to them.

We are absolutely useless at pushing for a late goal. We are clueless. We silly dally on the ball with no go for it and bully teams unless we're comfortably ahead it seems. Too slow with the passing and little movement second half.

Pray coefficient works as I think spuds have top four now.

It wasn't a great game but we really have to look at how easy we fell apart for 15 minutes after they scored their first goal. That's mentally worrying and the Don needs to sort that out ASAP or,  god forbid, Manure undeservedly catch us.

Saying that, isn't it very typical Villa to limp.over the line

45-60 mins still our achilles heel. Its unforgivable really

Bottled it yet again, will finish 6th at best

All 3 teams fighting for 4th / 5th are bottle jobs, so let's not overreact. Will be a few more twists and turns to come.

Objectively a draw here isn't the end of the world, but in the wider context of our position, opposition results, and the midweek game, it sure feels like it.

[villa89]

Likely to lose away to Arsenal next which means one point from three games. Brighton, palace and Bournemouth games are huge now. If you're a betting man it seems inevitable we will finish fifth, especially with more European games ahead. 

The game itself showed we are running on fumes. No energy, no pace, players walking around. Alright it's tough when BrentFord were defending so deep but you need to up the pace then. 

The only time we upped the pace was when it was do or die stuff at the end. Why didn't we start like that. When we got the equaliser the subs should have been made them. 

Lastly zaniolo couldn't trap a bag of cement when he came on. Looked woeful.

It's been coming for months we do the hard work get a lead and switch off concede the most sloppy goals you can bet on it nearly every game never has been rectified poor defending it come back to bite us. Our defence is to loose always a mistake. 7 goals in 2 games you aren't making top 4.

As for the players a bit of pressure and they go missing seen it this year to often besides McGinn no one stands up.

Absolutely shameful collapse. We almost did it against Forest as well - we'll dominate most of the game but then just have 15 minutes where we turn to absolute shit. There are definitely some mentally weak players out there. Still, showed some character to get a point I guess.

That said, some absolutely ridiculous bed-wetting in here regarding the race for 4th.

Against Forest (but saved it), against Luton (but saved it), against Man Utd (lost), against Burnley (saved it with a last min pen) - there's probably others.  Being comfortable in the lead seems to be an odd problem for us.

On the bright side, a point is better than none. A few minutes of calamitous defending, fair play to Ollie for salvaging something.

So absolutely nothing to do with resting players - just faux outrage?

Outrage?

My focus is how we could have got something away at City rather than how we pathetically threw it away today.

[Tomaszk]

Not a disaster.

Really really really bad from 2-0 up with 30 mins left.

We need to limp horribly over the line.

2 points dropped. 
 

We are still 4th

Did well to get it back to a draw but should have won that by a few clear goals.

All the bedwetting at 2-3 was embarrassing chaps in the match thread, we could have still won it in the end.

Lots of football still to come, hopefully we will play Konsa as a central defender from now on. Disappointing to have to settle for a point but it's another point on the board.

Stop with this bed wetting comment. There is so much at stake now, conceding 3 against Brentford was poor. We need 3 points against all the shit at least.

[rjw63]

Being two goals clear, then needing to score again just for a point, feels very much like "advantage Shittenham Hotspuds".

Absolutely criminal to not beat **** Brentford from the position we were in.

Only happy shit today is small queef losing again, and the custards having a 99th minute equaliser denied by VAR (and their idiot manager getting booked).

London media already tugged themselves silly, they'll need some viagra for round two.

I don't think we'd have got anything out of City away with a full strength side tbh.

Some idiot and ill risk a warning by calling them it was wishing players to die

Am guessing he doesnt remember the bad days or one or the clowns who jumped on the bandwagon. You arent wanted

[The_Steve]

Yes it was a shambles to lose the lead, but we really could have won this too. We created some really good chances in the dying minutes. 

[tonyh29]

What is it about us and shit teams that can only foul and park the bus 

coasting that and 4 months ago we’d have seen that out with a comfortable 2-0 , players seems to be too casual or lethargic… credit for getting back to 3-3 but that’s 2 points dropped , means I’m gonna have to cheer Liverpool tomorrow v United and I’m still not clean after cheering on Chelsea the other night

Those weaker sides worry me we can't defend just to sloppy.
