Gabby

[Legion]

Gabby was shocking today from start to finish.

[supertom]

I was surprised to see Sherwood played him after him missing out last week. I was even more  surprised he played the full match

The only reasoning I can think is on reputation. A lot of our squad our unknown qualities to a large extent. I guess as Gabby's been an regular for about 9 years now, and Sherwoods only been here a week now, he played our senior statesmen.

I hope he drops him pretty sharpish though. He was quick to identify Westwood and Cleverley as offering little.

He was "on fire in training"said Sherwood. Perhaps Mr Lerner insists he plays him!

I've said it before and I will say it again. Agbonlahor has been stealing a living for years. A complete waste of a shirt.

He has given zero for years now since his pace has gone and its pretty obvious conditioning and fitness is not one of his main priorities.

We find ourselves in a perilous position and he offers absolutely nothing to the cause.

Given a contract for another four years...When will this club ever learn.

You could have picked any striker, from any other Premier League squad today and they'd have done better than Gabby. He is past it.

[TopDeck113]

He's in hospital whilst neurosurgeons look for his "footballing brain".  He might be out for sometime...

There is no need for that.

Really? I'd also refer him to a cardiologist citing a lack of heart.

I'd have played Heskey ahead of Gabby today.

Agbonlahor last looked really good under Martin O'Neill. A long long time ago. Get him out of the club no matter how much it costs!

Yep, back when he had the likes of Ashley Young, John Carew and James Milner making him look good.

I was never a fan of Heskey, I thought he was rubbish but at least he tried and looked like he cared. Weimann is poor this season but again he puts in the effort whereas Agbonlahor is bloody terrible and doesn't look like he gives a toss. What makes it even worse is he is supposedly a Villa fan and for some unfathomable reason has been awarded a new four year contract. He's been useless for a long time.

If we persist with 442 it has to be Andi up front. Gabby is shit wherever you play him, at least Andi has a goal in him and some decent work rate, and it's pointless sticking him out wide.

In the first couple of minutes he ran as fast as I have seen him for quite a while to close someone down. That was about it for the day.

[UK Redsox]

If it's gonna be 442, then Andi has to play instead of Gabby. At least then Andi's running around might have some positive outcome

[SoccerHQ]

Sherwood was fooled by his training it seems as his performance was pretty much what he's served up in the last two seasons.

I get the feeling Sherwood won't hestitate to drop him now and he'll really have to work hard in his sub appearences to get back into the starting 11 before the end of the season e.g score some bleeding goals.
