meregreen Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 If he was any good, he wouldn’t be at Charlton. Some make it, some don’t. He hasn’t. Charlton probably his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly has more raw talent than Trezeguet and is still young. Yeah....ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby is a different class of player compared to green. I think some forget how good gabby was his first 5 or so years in the league 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His biggest mistake was getting hench in the summer of 2009, which I've always assumed was a personal decision. I'll never forget seeing him run on the pitch in the opening game of 09/10 and several people sitting around me asking who it was, because he looked like the Michelin Man. He actually had a great goalscoring season that year, but his career fell off a cliff shortly after, and I'm sure carrying all that extra weight at [quick Google] age 23 was a disaster for him long-term, because it took the edge off his "superpower" - his lightning pace. Houllier told him to stop working out, but the damage had been done by then, and he was never really the same threat on the counter. Andre Green comes across as a very nice lad, but he doesn't have any superpowers as far as I can see. He's just a decent, hardworking wide midfielder. I hope his career goes well, but I don't think he has anything like the same potential as Gabby had at the same age. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Gabby was hilariously fast. How many pens did he win by letting defenders think they could get it before kicking up a gear again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has struggled to adjust to the Premier League obviously, but there’s clearly a player there. Andre Green has started a dozen or so professional matches in his life. Comparing the two is madness. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, earning caps for the Egyptian national team doesn't really mean much. I believe there are only 3 Egyptian players who are playing in any of the top 5 leagues. All 3 of them play in the PL. And we have 2 of them. Trez's fanbase makes much more sense when you realize just how starved for options the Egyptian fans are.

lexicon Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Had a trawl through the Charlton forums and the general consensus is that he played well and looked lively. Good to hear - hope he really pushes himself and takes the chance to step up properly to senior football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many pens did he win by letting defenders think they could get it before kicking up a gear again. It’s a key attribute and cannot be coached ask any defender it’s also their biggest fear as managing a striker is fine but if they’re absolutely rapid you don’t have a huge margin, it’s about stopping the pass before. out tactics were counter attack under MoN. Mostly send the ball twenty yards in front of gabby as not one single defender apart from Ashley Cole could get him. we do need serious pace, despite El Ghazi faults and he’s not as quick you can see most defenders giving him a bit of space. I think our striker needs to be absolute gas speed. I don’t think we have target man playing style, currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
