McGinn and Trezeguet can play, but agricultural Dean Smith goes for gamesmanship and a direct style. At Brentford he played decent stuff, but so did the managers before and after him .... indicating it’s the club’s ethos, not Smith’s.
This entire match, Villa players have gone down at the touch of a feather. Very deliberate, due to their obsession with lofting balls into the box from absolutely anywhere to a gaggle of tall players.
Imho, a pathetic approach to football from Dean Smith.
