In this round of the Premier League, Brentford drew 2-2 with Aston Villa away from home. After the match, manager Thomas Frank told Sky Sports that the team failed to consistently maintain their usual simplicity and efficiency, and should have continued to attack proactively even after scoring.

On the match

Frank said, "I felt we had a chance if we had played with our usual simplicity and efficiency. But we couldn't do that for the whole game, and at times we looked a bit rusty. I've always emphasized shaking off the impact of the international break and getting back to our own style of play. I think this performance is understandable. We will be disappointed, which speaks volumes in itself."

On the mentality after scoring

Frank stated, "Whenever we score, I don't want the team to sit back. I want us to keep attacking and maintain a proactive mindset. It's easier said than done, but it was strange that both teams retreated after scoring. He really deserved a goal. He has been excellent this season, very infectious, a leader, vocal on the pitch, and very present. It's great to see him bring his good form from the national team back to the league.

You have to go through moments like this. We are facing a good team that is just starting to find its rhythm, and their manager has even been nominated for the FIFA Men's Coach of the Year award. Last season's games felt different from now, and we are enjoying the team's progress."
