Gabby

[richardhubbard]

I know his a villa boy but personally he just not good enough . 10 league goals in 75 games  and tonight performance I thought was awful .

I would move him on and focus on Weimann as 2nd striker

[ozzjim]

Bent and Benteke should be paired together.

[ChrissyPrice]

He was poor. Should have gone off when Bent came on. We might at least have kept some sort of shape.

[villadelph]

We're going to single out Gabby now, sheesh they can all go.

Gabby caused them plenty of problems in the first half. I was Lower North and they were struggling to copy with him and Zog. Second half like everyone else he seemed crap, but it's always hard to judge action at the Holte when you're in the Lower North.

[SoccerHQ]

He has one good game in 10 nowadays and has an Heskey-esque goalscoring record over the last 2 years.

I've defended him in the past as 10/11 he was disrupted by injury but last season he did not step up at all when Bent got injured and carries very little goal threat, basically our Carlton Cole, Ameobi, Anchiebe etc.

A player who lost 10% from his game the minute MON walked.

[richardhubbard]

I am not singling him out for ffs! He gone so far backwards in 3 years it is shocking.

He a senior player and he in my opinion 2 goals in 15 league games is shit.

And tonight he was run out of the game.

Not good enough

Weimann is a much better all round player.   Gabby's main weapon is pace.  Never been his biggest fan but I think he's still occasionally useful in away games (see last Saturday, Sunderland, Man City in the cup), but for home games where his pace is nullified by teams sitting deeper, I think he should be left out.

A number of times Benteke was chasing down defenders forcing them to give the ball away a d every time Gabby just watched instead of trying to offer support.Lazy twat.

[OCD]

Weimann's a finisher and he works his arse off for the team. Gabby can do the latter but he doesn't have the instincts of a finisher. There were a number of times where someone would have been gambling on where the ball was going to go and Gabby was never in the right place.

[Lobsterboy]

I would use him as an impact sub.

Play Bent and Benteke with N'Zogbia behind them and use Weimann as the alternative to Bent and Benteke

Gabby has fallen a long way from the heady days under M'ON but he isn't the reason we lost the tie to night; Concrete Ron (ahem), Baker, Clark and co are fucking useless at defending corners and we conceded 4 in 2 games v a 4th division team

The problem is at the back

[OCD]

In that time that Bent was on for, what did he do?

He did head on for the second,can't remember anything else.

[danno]

In that time that Bent was on for, what did he do?

won the header for Weimann's goal. Precious little else.

[OCD]

I would rather have Weimann playing off Benteke than either Bent or Gabby.
