Gabby

[Clampy]

I thought he had a really good game against the Stripeyfilth. He did'nt do a great deal against Bradford though.

I agree with a lot of the things on here.  Now that he hasn't got the extra burst of pace he had his touch is shwoing him up as not good enough.  MON getting him to bulk up has turned him from a player who could be very effective in an 'inside forward' role into someone who doesn't really have a position any more.  It's a shame as he had a lot of potential but it was ruined by trying to make him something he could never be.

I would sell him if I were the manager providing I can get affordable replacement. Hope Martin will give us a call very soon.

He had a good 30mnutes - but he has looked a shadow of the player he was under the blessed martin.
Hoping o neill gives up on danny graham and takes gabby.

I love these Gabby threads. Like night follows day, every time we have one Gabby rams it down your throats.

When will you lot learn?

Weimann's been the shining light this season, he should play when fit, For me anyway

That been the case maybe 3 or 4 separate ones should be started tonight and for every game for the remainder of the season.

Ha! The thought did cross my mind, Bren.

I fucking hope he rams it down my throat. I really hope so.

[Villain1874]

Like one or two others have said I would sell Gabby...
I know he's Villa through and through but I think he's to comfortable at Villa Park...

[SoccerHQ]

Murdered Debuchy tonight. No idea if that would've happened if he'd been in from the start but would've been more use than Bent.

That's the thing we have clear talent upfront, I thought n'zogbia was decent tonight and very unlucky not to score as was Weimann so I think we'll have to rely on whichever front trio we put out to have some good games but even then we won't score more than we let in.

Got himself and  N'zogbia some joy when he put himself wide left.
As the half wore on, he drifted inside and saw less of the ball.

I have no idea if he was instructed to do that, but him Benteke and Zog
all seemed to be quite bunched together for the last 20 minutes.

Like you, I have no idea why he came inside after starting out on the left.  He skinned that RB the first time he took him on and then didn't go out on the wing again.

He's a striker and wants to get goals, I think it just naturally happened.
The balls being pumped to Benteke, so Gabby ended up standing right next to him looking
for flick ons.

Frustrating in the extreme, because if he'd been a little bit more disciplined we might have created more chances.
Out wide he was an firstly an out-ball for Baker Clark and Bannan, and secondly he looked dangerous.

[old man villa fan]

I do not think you can play Gabby and N'Zogbia in the same team.  Neither of them like playing out wide.

Gabby's only real attribute now is pace, as he showed in the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half tonight.  Once he tires (or loses interest), he drifts out of the game.  He is not scoring goals, so his value in the team is diminishing.
