Gabby always ends up on the left anyway. That's the problem with playing him up front alone or as the main striker, I'm not sure he would work with Delfouneso up front. Gabby should have scored in the first minute, then Houllier would have been a genius.
It's completely different when Gabby plays striker, when he's on the wing he needs to track back and when he's up top he can wait for a break at the half way line like he did when we got the Downing chance. And strikers are supposed to run the channels nowadays if they capable.
