TRS-T Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Everyone loves Gary Gardner and he has only played for like 2 minutes in the first team lol. Not that I'm complaining - I love him too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Good debut, hope he gets a place next game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 He looks very composed on the ball and certainly can offer us a different option coming forward. Good debut. Needs more games under his belt certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 As much as I really like GG I'd start with Ireland next game if he is fit to keep his confidence up and he had been playing well. Let's face it our captain Petrov will not be dropped and I wouldn't want him to be either! More of Gary from the bench with another handful of starts between now and the end of the season! He's gradually working his way into the first team proper now, great to see. According to my Sky Sports app he came off on the 88th minute and had a very good debut game for one so young!

VillaRoy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 With Gardner now, we have definitely got some decent options in that attacking midfield position. Ireland, Bannan and Gardner all vying for that position it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Very good debut for me, hope he keeps his place next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Very good match. Hope he starts more away matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Unlucky not to score. I think he will bag quite a few goals this season if he continues to start. He has a good shot and gets in good positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 He's just tweeted - @Gards38: What can i say?? What a day for me making my full debut dream come true and a win!!! So so happy!! Villa fans amaizing today! Keano #legend! Played well today. Shame his freekick wasn't a few inches lower and he should have scored early on.

AValon Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Something tells me the boy has a huge future. Lets hope its at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Lets hope he doesn't do what his brother did, although he looks twice the player, hopefully he can build on todays game and gets the opportunity to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Was so close to scoring with that header in the opening minute of the game! Not sure what type of player he is though, would like to see him as a replacement for Petrov though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Was so close to scoring with that header in the opening minute of the game! Not sure what type of player he is though, would like to see him as a replacement for Petrov though. Potentially, heading skills of Cahill, passing of Gerrard, goal threat of Lampard, work rate of Ian Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 He's going to be better than Cantona and Giggs combined... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Lets hope he doesn't do what his brother did, although he looks twice the player, hopefully he can build on todays game and gets the opportunity to do so. His brother did just fine today when he came off the bench for Sunderland. If Craig had of left and not come out as being a Birmingham fan (although I'm still not convinced on who he REALLY supports, us or them) then people would go on at how we've needed a goal scoring midfielder for ages, shouldn't have let him go, another Cahill etc Craig Gardner is vastly underrated. I'd welcome him back at the Villa anytime. Gary looks a class act too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what type of player he is though, would like to see him as a replacement for Petrov though. Is he a Lampard type? He seems to get into a lot of scoring positions.

chappy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Only got one problem with him, he looks too much like his brother. Aside from that, in the team every week please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Should have scored in the 1st minute Other than that a very assured game I'd like to see Craig back at the club too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
