Aston Villa vs Parma Pre-Season Friendly

[dekko]

Grealish is every bit as good as Gabby has been terrible

[JUAN PABLO]

What I've seen of gabby, very poor

[CJ]

Delph our best player by far - we really need to get his contract sorted

[olaftab]

Well ladies and gents I said it to you about 3 years  ago after watching him when he came on as a sub in a Nextgen game that Jack Grealish is going to be some player.

Gabby must have played himself out of the starting lineup for Stoke after this display

[pauliewalnuts]

Gabby has been utterly rubbish, just loping around only half awake.

I should think so.

just loping around only half awake.

A bit like watching this game

[Exeter 77]

Hope I'm not tempting fate now Hutton is going off but the defence looks far more solid I the second half. Obvious really - Vlaar and Okore should be the first choice entre backs. Grealish has been fantastic since he came on and the need for a specialist defensive midfielder is plainer than ever.

Is Grealish playing the nr 10 role?

[CJ]

Is Grealish playing the nr 10 role?

No - more left midfield

[JUAN PABLO]

Unlucky bent

[UK Redsox]

Time to concentrate on the cricket. England could wrap this up tonight.

[Pete3206]

A shot at last

[Matt Collins]

The thing about gabby is we only have one other option to play the number 9 role - and bent does a pretty good impression of lazing around doing fuck all as well

I'll keep on repeating it but a centre forward on a two month loan is a top priority for me. Even more than strengthening the midfield

I just can't see us scoring many at all with these players
