Let's give the guy a chance with these new fitness coaches. The previous management and coaching was a complete shambles. At 28 he should be in his prime. His early performance s last year were whole hearted. Give him a chance ffs!

I still think there's a good player in there. Would rather he played at RB than Hutton.You've clearly forgotten his attempts at RB when played there last season then. The man has no engine anymore, he can't burst up the line and get back like he once did YEARS ago. He's completely lost it, whether that's down to a shit attitude or his body giving up on him I don't know.But he's still on par with Gabby as my number 1 Villa VillainLet's give the guy a chance with these new fitness coaches.

or a footballer. nice teeth though.
Richards was comfortably the worst of a bad bunch. At least Lescott, Guzan & Bacuna played out the remaining games & faced up to the stick they got. Never in a million years will he ever make a central defender.

Give him a chance ffs!Footballers have to have self-discipline and be totally focused on the football to succeed. GA's mind is somewhere else and would seem to have the attitude that he does not have to put in the hard miles. However, I would say that past managers have allowed this to happen. He should have been pulled up years ago. As it is now, he has gone past the point of no return. He may have a short term revival but he is on the down slope and past a point where he is fit for purpose for Villa.
I don't really buy into this thing about players being deliberately shit, spineless and not caring etc. A lot of that gets said about various players on here, but I'm sure each and every one of them wanted to win matches and not go through the sort of season we endured last year. You don't get to play anywhere near this level without a decent attitude and heart.With that said, there is no doubt that Micah and Gabby (and several others) were very, very poor last year. They lost form & confidence and it was a downwards spiral. I think Gabby is a busted flush for Villa. I'm not sure if the fans will accept Micah back, but deep down I think he could probably do a very decent job for us a right back at this level.
