OutByEaster? Posted February 6, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'll be quite happy to see him not celebrate a few more times this season. He was good today, and peculiarly, he looked lighter than last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Can't blame him too much tbh he's been getting a lot of abuse from the 'fans' on social media for god knows how long. Thought he played well today, look more dangerous with him up-front then Kozak or Gestede. It's social media. As an adult he should have enough about him to know that not all Villa fans are abusive idiots. I found his attitude incredibly disrespectful. I took it personally. That said, vintage Gabby today. Massive congratulations and a big thank you. Now more of that please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just an observation. I was as chuffed as anyone when he scored. My only annoyance was that he scored second and not first...I had £100 coming my way else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just back from VP. Gabby was absolutely superb and ran himself into the ground and scored what could potentially be yet another massive goal for us. Some going that he played the whole 90 after being out for so long as well 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 It's not just that he didn't celebrate the goal. It's more that he didn't acknowledge the support at the end. Anyway, I'm over it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted February 6, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2016 Looked knackered last 20 minutes, would have been nice to have been able to replace him. I think he's more effective than Ayew in the lone forward role, maybe it's down to Ayew covering, what seems to be a lot more ground , which drags him out of position more .

OutByEaster? Posted February 6, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 6, 2016 Oh, and Gabby today became the 11th player in our history to score in 11 different seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby was good today but no were near motm I thought so too, Gueye was instrumental everywhere and Okore was brave on and off the ball despite being out of position a couple of times. I felt Gabby had an influential game, capped with a goal but he didn't offer much in attack with many single runs rather than continually testing the back line and our midfields vision. But it's Gabby, for Gabby he had a good game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 It's the scoring that matters. It was a classic Gabby performance today, lead by example and will be well up for the Liverpool game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Haven't seen the game, but about time too. He owes the club a performance or two as one of the best paid players at the club, and he has been mediocre for way too long. Being over weight is also unprofessional so the abuse he has had is deserved in his line of work - it comes with the territory. But I welcome his performance and long may it continue, but this is how it should be Gabby, every week on your money.

Trickster Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Gabby did good in the second half certainly and should be praised for it. However he still doesn't show a presence up front as much as he should be, the first half he was static wanting balls into feet that were impossible to find him with. He doesn't give midfielders options to use his pace, he never, ever spins off defenders to do it. He got the goal fair play and all but let's not pretend a lot of the criticism he got hasn't been deserved. Nowhere near as good as Gueye or Okore too either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 He played well, well done him. In our present system he's the best we have to play lone striker, he did it well enough for 60 minutes at Leicester in September. Him and Ayew might be a good combination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair f***s to him. I give him pelters all the time but worked his nuts off today and ran the channels really well. Scored a cracking goal although Ruddy did have a touch of the Guzan about him, So well done today and keep it up. Don't personally give a shit if any of them celebrate as long as they earn their wages which thankfully since Remi has been here appears to be happening.

Well, that's because his apparent lack of fitness has been worthy of criticism, his scoring record has been worthy of criticism, his overall play have been worthy of criticism, and a clear snub to his own fans is worthy of criticism. They are different things, at different times, treated as such. What is odd about that ? Good goal and good second half today, fair first half.....and has been largely praised for all that. It aslo highlighted exactly what fans and manager feel is a not unreasonable performance, of which he has produced few for a long time. Hopefully he's turned a corner, and if he has, he will be delighted to discover most the negative stuff will just vanish. Also greatly helped by the opening up of the game second half, certainly easier for him when we actually go in front for a change. Probably one for the critics to bear in mind, a player of his type always going to cause more damage with space on the pitch, and he's had little of that to work with.
