Mantis Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Doubt Hodgson will even take notice of who Spurs are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I am pretty sure Gabby would have done better than a truly awful performance from Wellbeck - who must be on borrowed time for both Man U and England. doesnt make much sense, wouldnt say he is on borrowed time at all. Fergie and Moyes clearly rate him and his workrate is among the best among premier league forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 and for people saying he shouldnt be called up as he doesnt score a lot of goals, well then cant say Gabby deserves a call up on that basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Except Gabby scored 8 goals from left wing in the second half of the season. And Gabby's workrate at the defensive end, is one of the best among PL wide players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 but its not as good as Welbeck, Gabby hasnt scored a goal this season while welbeck has 2. their is many problems with england team but welbeck in the team isnt one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 disappointed in Gabby today, thought he was a bit anonymous and predictable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yes guess he was up against a full back with equal pace. One good chance missed and created little. Not his best game and wont inspire hodgson to pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Told ya. Gabby has'nt developed as aplayer the last 2 years.He does'nt score enough, he does'nt create enough chance, and if he is on £60k per week like rumoured, hes not worth it. There was moment in todays game when Townsend got the ball inside Villas area, he run at Luna went past him, and put a shot just over the bar.One minute later Gabby gets the ball inside Spuds penalty area, looks up, and plays the ball back 30 yards.Thats the difference.Gabby has'nt done it, and is not going to, Weimann is still young, Gabby is 26.An impact sub at best for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I wasn't shocked. I floated the idea last week that I wasn't convinced Gabby should start today as like a lot of our squad he's much more suited to away games and too often imo he fails to make a decent impact at Villa Park. That said I would keep him in for the Everton game as he has the knack of scoring against them. Weimann needs to be taken out, we really can't keep on persevering with those two at VP as the results and lack of goals indicate this, we need a bit more centrally in home games I think so Tonev or Helenius are worth a go for the next home game I reckon.

Isa Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Useless at home. Best to only play him away if we are going to play him out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Useless again today. Instead of this three strikers nonsense we might be better off having five midfielders than can actually pass/keep the ball around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Useless at home. Best to only play him away if we are going to play him out wide. Yes he was useless but to my eyes he played behind Benteke all day and was never out wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 26, 2013 Yep, he played as a second striker today - his general play wasn't too bad, but again he had a chance that he should have put away - no goal in nine games this season and even for a cocky beggar like Gabby that's got to dent his confidence. He needs a goal badly and we need him t find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only really noticed him when he ran the channels so I assumed he played wider. Completely anonymous in the centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Unstoppable for 5 games a season. Awful for 5 games a season. Average for the other 90%. I love Gabby but I just cannot understand why he can't do it more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
