markavfc40 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) I got to be honest it is not until I pop my head into Villa Talk and see his thread that I think about Gil. At the game yesterday him not being on the bench didn't even cross my mind. I can't even recall over the last half dozen or so games where I thought I wish Gil was playing or an option off the bench. I guess that is a sign of how well things have been going lately and I just hope that continues to be the case.

Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted May 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yeah. Literally nobody is moaning that he isn't playing. The only thing that could be even slightly construed as moaning is wondering why he isn't on the bench over weimann. Sarcastic comments like 'mini bergkamp' and people moaning that people are talking about Gil in his thread are worse. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dounavilla Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Apparently Gil now works in the club shop. He was spotted yesterday stocking some away shirts in one of the isles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 My last comment at this stage on this thread. I and as far as I can tell no-one else is saying that this isn't the right platform to discuss Carles Gil, so wind your necks in on that. The question from me and others however is why on a weekend when the following threads should be trending.........: Shay Given Leandro Bacuna Ron Vlaar Jores Okore Kieran Richardson Ashley Westwood Tom Cleverly Fabian Delph Charles N'Zogbia Jack Grealish Christian Benteke Alan Hutton Gabby Agbonlahor Carlos Sanchez .........are we talking about Carles Gil? That's my only point, not disputing that this is the wrong place to be discussing it but rather, IMO, the wrong time. There has been a small section of posters calling for him to be in the starting XI / matchday squad over recent weeks and questioning Tim Sherwood's decision making off the back of it, right now I find it hard to believe that anyone could question his decision making.

useless Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've got a feeling he might have a surprise role to play in the Cup Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dounavilla Posted May 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2015 I think you could be right , he might be leading the team out while holding Delph's hand. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Possibly, I wonder if he'll be used as a secret weapon, either starting the match or coming on as a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 His presence on the bench would indeed add some much needed youth and Spanishness to that part of the field. It's amazing we can win without him sitting there for 90 minutes really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 If he was on the bench, would people complain? If not, some of the comments in here are very odd. Is seeing him sit on the bench something that makes that big of a difference to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people like you keep the thread going by moaning about a couple of posts in it. Don't stop though, or you'll have nothing to moan about.

Is seeing him sit on the bench something that makes that big of a difference to you?Nobody is moaning. A couple of people have questioned why he isn't getting on the bench when people like Weimann are. But that's it. The only moaning is coming from the bizarre posts complaining about people talking about Carles Gil in the Carles Gil thread.

Eric Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) We are playing well at the moment. But does it mean Sherwood can't do anything wrong? I would like Gil to get more chances. I hope Tim just wants more PL experience in the relegationfight and give him a go next season. Edited May 10, 2015 by Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2015 Seriously, go back and check after the game yesterday. There was 4 posts in this thread, and the closest thing to a moan was someone wondering if he should be on the bench instead of Weimann. Then briny came in and started crying because someone dared to post in the thread and that's what has caused all the posts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is seeing him sit on the bench something that makes that big of a difference to you? If he's on the bench, he has the potential to come on as a sub (which pretty much everybody who hasn't been starting had the opportunity to do) and potentially show he is worthy of being in the starting XI. If he's not on the bench, there is no chance he can make an appearance. Even if he doesn't come on for whatever reason, it at least signifies that he's in Sherwood's plans in some capacity. Being left out of the matchday squad every week sort of gives the opposite impression don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people were to keep questioning it after every game for months, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
