I read (of heard, i forget which) somewhere that he went off with cramp. I reckon he'll be fit.

I do as well. Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to join in the celebrations last Saturday. He could be the one player that makes a big difference on Sunday as long as Sherwood impresses upon him that its a local derby. Just tell him Liverpool is somewhere by Wolverhampton!

That should do the trick!

Asked whether Clark and Agbonlahor are struggling to feature, Sherwood told reporters: "It looks like it, which is a real shame because it's a massive day out.

"Ciaran Clark came off with a medial knee ligament problem but I thought [Nathan] Baker did brilliantly when he came on, considering he's not played much. Gabby has tweaked his hamstring."

Two second-half yellow cards saw Sanchez earn a late red card, the latter of which came about after a foul on Danny Rose when Spurs were pressing for an equaliser.

I suggest that Gabby isnt match fit, however his first touches yesterday were poor - surely that`s all about technique rather than fitness.
A pity he didnt score yesterday - his weakness to me on occasion is that when he has time to think about what he intends to do he ends up fluffing what looks like an easy chance - it was decent defending, however I think a more predatory striker would have buried the chance or at least drawn a foul/penalty and a red card for the defender. 

Gabby has been great servant but it is now time to look ahead for his "replacement"

You watch him score the winner at Southampton next week :)

He was very rusty and he struggled to get into the pace of the game so mentality I suppose that can effect your technique, so his touch looked worse than normal. He also seems to look heavier after each injury. I think he needs to shed at least 7-14ibs over the summer.

He still has a part to play for Sherwoods Villa. But as a first 11 regular? We do need better now. Gabby can be a useful impact/rotation player though.

His physicality could be the perfect foil for Benteke.

Thought he was awful yesterday. One on one, he is the worst I have ever seen. Needs to be shipped out ASAP close season. If we are to improve as a team, he wont be a part of it. Most overrated player ever.

I agree that even if benteke stays we need another first choice player alongside or behind him. An upgrade on gabby and nzogbia

Ings or Austin are a different type of player but both like playing with a big man 😳 and can score goals.

Both of those players would be a vast improvement on Gabby.

Bill, didn't see you post how horrific Gabby is and how he needs to be shipped out ASAP after his key goal vs Albion and goals bs Sunderland while he was fit and in form.

Most overrated player ever becomes a contender for most melodramatic statement ever made on here. And we've had lots of good ones.

A poor 20 minutes and he's being shipped out? o_O Thanks for the 300 odd games Gabby and countless goals but you should know theres no loyalty football anymore, oh unless we want a player to stay. Then show some bloody loyalty!

He was fantastic under Sherwood in March and has been injured most of April, he's not going anywhere yet
