Gabby

[jwarry]

Personally I think he swung the game our way on Sunday when he came on.  McCormack was a waste of space and didn't get near anything in the air.  At least Gabby made their defenders work a bit which gave us a stronger foothold in the game further up the pitch.  There I've said it ......

I notice jwarry this represents your post no 1111, a nelson +1 which  is somewhat telling.

Did anyone notice that when he took a throw in that he was stood on the pitch as he took it!

I hardly noticed he was on the pitch apart from  the throw in.... waste of space

Equally telling that post 1111 was on 21 12.  Gabby is having us hacked by the Russians.

Yes , which started the move for our goal , useless fanny he is can't even take a throw in properly

That anyone can think that he 'turned the game' is pretty worrying.

If you take out the little bit towards the end when him, Amavi and Westwood kept the ball in the corner for a minute he had almost no effect on the game in 20 minutes.

Waster or not, Bruce clearly believes he can be effective at this level given his recent involvement.

And by sticking him in the shop window, perhaps January will find another manager "at this level" that thinks likewise.

Fingers crossed.

Agreed, held up the ball well when paired with Kodjia. Showed good strength, control and pace. Everything McCormack wasn't showing unfortunately. Even the quick throw in showed a bit of initiative

Wasn't his fault really when we retreated after Gestede came on, he was one of many just chasing the ball as we closed it out. Gestede was reasonable too mind though showed the composure of a giraffe for that late chance.

You're easily pleased.

Every Gabby post I tune hoping it's his end one way or the other.  Surprised just how much favourable support he attracts from our fans the man's an imposter

[BC Villain]

How much longer are we going to continue to indulge this man?  He offers jack shit and has done so for about 3 years.

If anyone epitomises Aston Villa's decline in the last 6 years, it's this leech.

[Pete3206]

There were 10 others who also offered jack shit yesterday. Busted flush he may be, but the team's current shiteness is not down to Gabby alone.

[LukeJames]

He should'nt be anywhere near the squad or club, that more or less unanimous, however, the 'service' into him and our other forwards is nothing short of pathetic.

The other 10 weren't banned from training for being overweight twice, caught smoking a shisha in Dubai during one of those breaks and photographed in a hotel room with hookers on the day we were relegated.  They also haven't been paid to play as a striker and score 8 goals in their last 100 appearances for the club.  He shouldn't be anywhere near the team, he offers nothing and I honestly don't care if he's putting in the effort in training to lose weight, he was shit long before he got fat and running around a bit is a long way from being enough to change my opinion.

Bruce needs to remove the rose-tinted glasses and stop seeing Gabby circa 2009-10 because that player is never coming back.

Amen.
