Gabby Agbonlahor

[KevinGage]

There will be rotation.

But when you spend £18 million rising to £24 million on a player, he's unlikely to be one of those who drops out, short of enforced absences such as injury/ suspension.

Agreed, he wont rotate Bent so Gabby will be used as a winger,support striker wether he has the footballing brain to play that position is another story

[The Situation]

Gabby's been a starter for the last 3 1/2 years, one game doesn't really put his future in question.

Gabby's a key player for us. I just think Houllier has been playing him in the wrong position in recent weeks. When he's running at central-defenders he creates room for the wingers. Hopefully we'll see this against Abu Dhabi Superstars.

Gabby was rested because he'll start upfront v Man City on wed. Simples.

I can see him being moved on in the summer, if we sign another forward or two.

[Brend'Watkins]

Gabby is not in the starting 11 because he's shown for the last few weeks he's not a winger.  He's a fron player only and quite rightly he's not above Bent in the pecking order for the lone striker role.

I do like Gabby but if we are to move on to the next level Gabby will be a squad player at best, unless he can find his form of a few years ago.

If you think you know something else then why not tell us? I've not read the whole thread.

[Bottom Right 89]

He pulled out of the England squad injured and he took a few whacks in the blackpool game I reckon it's just Gerard giving him some recovery time ahead of Wednesday's cup game, don't think we should read too much into it.

[Brend'Watkins]

Bent can't figure on Wednesday so it will be interesting to see if we keep the same formation as today with Gabby in his place.  It seems the obvious choice.

[Blackcountry Villa]

Agbonlahor is a very average natural footballer with pace. He'll never be a top striker.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I watched on tv it kept flicking to Agbonlahor he was smiling and joking he didn't look the slightest bit bothered

me i know nothing but would wager Gh will start with Heskey where as you seem certain that he will start with Gabby, so if you want to have a bet name your price

Our very own Shola Ameobi!

[TheSandman]

I'm with hawkeye on this.

I think Heskey will start. If Gabby starts it will be wide.
