Gabby

[Toronto Villa]

I'll be disappointed if he starts tomorrow night.

Started last season well? He didn't score until December.

He was an absolute menace against Arsenal in the first game.
won both penalties.

One game.

[danno]

No case to be made really is there?

I looked at last seasons fixture list, and all I could remember were 3 performances from him all season

Arsenal away, Southampton away Liverpool away.

Impact sub is the best I can hope for him at the minute. Or use the fact everyone fears his pace when hedoesn't use it anyway.  As someone said earlier, why isn't he stationed on the half way line for every free kick and corner?

Outstanding at Chelsea a week or two after that too. Humiliated Glen Johnson at Anfield, maybe that was later on

Going by Sherwood's comments, he sees Benteke and Gabby as the main 2 and wants to see what they're like when they get good supply.

[SoccerHQ]

A mate of mine said he had ten years of watching Shola Ameobi in a Newcastle shirt and the only player he could think of who comes close to his levels of rubbishness is Agbonlahor. I reckon he's right.

Anchiebe's another one who seemed to be at Everton for 100 years scoring 5 goals a season and is now doing the same trick at WBA.

Tomorrow night it really should be Gil just behind benteke, Sinclair wide and I'd like to see Bacuna wide of the middle trio to bring some forward runs and goalscoring threat from there.

Gabby and Weimann should be impact subs from the 60 minute mark.

If he wants to play someone with Benteke it should be Sinclair with Bacuna coming into the side to give width on the left coming in on his right.

Otherwise, Gil should be playing a Beardsley role to Benteke.

I agree with the two posts above, but it is clear from several of Sherwood's comments that Gabby is impressing him in training and Gil is not.

I agree on all points except Weimann. He's perhaps one of the most depressing impact subs to ever grace the club. When I hear a commentator say "Andy Weimann is about to come on" I know the game has gone.

I've a feeling this week (at some point) Gabby is going to turn up for work. Fingers crossed it's on a match day.

Wouldn't that be nice.

Ordinarily he does tend to raise his game against the Boggies. I pray to McGrath he does so this week, because I'm not sure Sherwood fancies any alternate option to dropping Gabby. He's highly likely to play.

Legs and fingers crossed that tonight is the night...

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Bit quiet on here..

[PeterWithe]

I has a couple of quid on Gabby, the Derby Slayer, to score first and Villa to win 2-1. I'm happy

[Des Little]

Well I for one will eat humble pie. That was the Gabby we knew some time ago. Fantastic.
