I'd disagree, Gabby is a better all round player than Bent, but his movement in the box is not as good. I'd even say their finishing is on par, Bent misses sitters too. Bent just has that brilliant ability to get in that space more often so gets more chances to score. Owen was like this, he scored lots of goals but also missed a lot too.
Albrighton's not done a great deal today.

Bent's 9 goals are expunged. Well I guess it's a question of preferring Bent's nine goals and drawing/losing whilst playing poorly or 20 goals from various players and Villa wins. More goals from one player versus more points for the team is something some people can't quite get their heads round.The point is being totally missed by the blinding faith people have because of the ties Gabby has to the club. He is not as good a forward as Darren Bent, who would have done a lot more than Gabby did with the chance at the end of the first half, moves a lot more than Gabby, gets in front of defenders and actually scores regularly. We have played just as well with Bent in the side. Claret and Blue specs say he is not Gabby though.

Owen was like this, he scored lots of goals but also missed a lot too.Most top forwards miss more because they are there more. Gabby is always behind the defender. He is a decent target man, but never a top 4-6 player. The MO of a centre forward is to score goals and that is what they are measured on.
