On the bench

I'm no fan, but good.

He's dreadful, has an appalling attitude and is weeks off being fit, and he's on the bench?  Absolutely ridiculous decision.

It's only ridiculous if you're some some mental tin foil hat consiracy theorist determined that everything is going to be shit so you can say "I told you so." ;)

Psycological warfare. If the games tight just warming him up will get them jittery. I recall West Brom folding like a deck of cards from 2-0 up when we bought Benteke on, and he was half fit.

Yes, but that's Christian Benteke. Who's afraid of Gabby? Unless we bring him on and they laugh themselves to death.

The whole regime has been rotten for years.  If  Bruce can make him fit then he could be a very useful addition to the squad.   It's only October, long long way to go yet.   Ace to see him score the winner.

It would be. But he can score another 50 goals for us and he is nothing to me after his disgraceful behaviour over the last 18 months.

Will always have a soft spot for Gabby to be fair. Obviously he's been an absolute let down the last couple of seasons but it'd be good to see him back to some sort of form.

Absolutely. The hatred on here for him is laughable. I hope he gets himself match fit and then terrorises Championship defences because we need him.

Fuck him.
If he had scored the winning goal I'd still feel the same and certainly not forgive him for the past 18 months or however long it's been
