And I was up for giving him a chance, I actually agreed with starting with him today, but after today no way!

I didn't notice he was injured. I saw him go down on the edge of their box but he got back up and carried on running.He contributed the least throughout the game. When a change was coming and Heskey was the one getting ready it made absolute sense to take him off, even ignoring the injury.Like someone else has posted, as an attacking midfielder he's contributed absolutely nothing since joining us. OK, for part of that period he was at Newcastle contributing nothing up there. And for part of that he appeared to be ostracised from the team. But I don't think this is bad luck. He's done nothing at three different clubs for the past 3 years. It's down to him to sort it out and I've seen nothing of him in a Villa shirt that suggests he can.

He played well.No he never, Bannan played well, Gabby played well. Ireland contributed nothing to the game, a few decent touches here and there is not playing well.Since Ireland arrived at Villa he has fluffed every single chance in front of goal. If he showed abit of effort and chased a few balls down like Bannan they yeah, but he does nothing.
