Gabby - keep or let go

[Steve67]

Gabby is a good foil for another striker and not really a main striker, particularly as he doesn't score enough goals. But, if he works as hard as he did today for the rest of the season, then he will be a hero again. To be absolutely fair, it's about bloody time!!

[David_Nab]

Even half fit he is a better option than Kozak and Gestede as he can still move for the ball and cause defenders problems.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Anybody that gets thrown up front all alone for 70 minutes isn't going to have the greatest of games. Based on the last two games I'd have him in the side before Gestede or Kozak. At least he has a purpose. He's still coming back from his back injury and hopefully will improve. The least we can expect is between now and the end of the season he gives his all.

It will be interesting to see who Garde plays alongside him on Saturday. Three injured strikers, one suspended and the other on loan at Bristol City.

bloody hell how long have we been saying that for!

gabby was finished at this level two seasons ago

He scored from a moment of madness from their keeper. Are we going to gloss over all the other chances he fluffed. His confidence will be high now so lets see how he does in the next five, remember Gabby has one half decent game then disappears into oblivion for months......

You ain't fooling me Mr Aston Villa.

Is it really that difficult for you to compliment him on a day he has actually played well and scored in a win?

I said his confidence will be high, that's about as much as I can give right now.

Worked hard, and for a 10 minute or so spell in the second half it was the Gabby of old. Their defence were shitting themselves during that spell.

I've said it before, today is the reason he gets so much stick. When he puts in a performance more often than not we get a result. We just don't see it often enough.

[ozzjim]

Fuck me he is fat. But did really well today and battled very very hard in the week too.

I thought he also showed the potential Veretout has for playing a pass when someone if moving ahead.

To be fair, it is only what is expected of someone who is paid obscene amounts of money.

329 days of big money. And two goals.

Yes, well done Gabby! Get in! I want to see more every week, from now until May.

Oops!

Little slip of bad language in an interview with Pete Colley!! 

[Deano's Mullet]

today earned him his place - him and Ayew up front is potentially exciting if both play to their ability.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

What did he say, CT?

[PeterWithesShin]

Something along the lines of "papers like to chat shit"

He didn't seem that bothered either.
