Dodgyknees Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 He had one great run in the second half today where he got a shot off and aside from that gave his all and tried to make things happen by coming deep for the ball. Trouble is he is finding that there is very little movement from many of the players alongside him. You could sense both he and Delph were getting very frustrated at the lack of movement and work rate from some of the other players today. Yep. This is a mental thing, it can't be trained into a player. They are too slow to react too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yes but if we had a number 10 we would. How would we get the ball to this number 10? Have you not seen how we play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KjParton Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I heard that Westwood was meant to be the player that gives it to the No. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I heard that Westwood was meant to be the player that gives it to the No. 1 I removed the 0, I think it's more accurate this way. Not really bashing Westwood, the same goes for pretty much the whole team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I meant if a horribly out of form Weimann can slid through a perfect throughball for a central striker to score, then a number 10 who has it part of his skillset would do it aswell. Yes our football is horrible but maybe a number 10 always in space and wanting to receive the ball would improve it somewhat? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Took his goal well, but yet again, another season of poor form, sprinkled with the odd spark of brilliance. Simply not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Surrounded by shit. Has to work very hard for nothing but scraps. People may call me crazy but I have believed for years that Gabby would go crazy in a big team. He would also bang them in Spain where defenders cant handle fast players. He's an excellent player in a god-awful team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Really needs to work on his touch & dribbling What you see is what you get. A decent if inconsistent forward. He has not going to get any better. Lets face it if was really england material he would be a better club by now, no matter how much he loves the club.

PauloBarnesi Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Took his goal well, but yet again, another season of poor form, sprinkled with the odd spark of brilliance. Simply not good enough. What I ve never understood is how a player can score over 10 goals at PL level for three years in a row, then become so lacklustre for large parts of the season. What the hell motivated him before? MON? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens at every club around country but unfortunately we have worst home record. Here is one of the oldest players in our team, and could least show some positivity rather than saying ''we are in a relegation battle'' Edited December 30, 2013 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one of the oldest players in our team, and could least show some positivity rather than saying ''we are in a relegation battle'' 'The trouble is Villa will always be measured against the great teams of their past and the restless fans who booed the team off at half time' Bollocks. We know that we are never going to have a great side. All we want is to be able to compete with footballing powerhouses such as Southampton and Swansea and win more than 5 games at home during a season. TBH I don't think Gabby is being that negative in the article. After 4 defeats on the bounce and awful peformances, the first thing is to try and stop the bleeding. We have done that, now we need a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I like Gabby but don't think he should be wearing the armband. He never strikes me as a leader on the field. If what Hairyhands said is true, that Delph is alongside Gabby as the highest earners at the club, I'd lean towards letting him wear the armband in Vlaar's absence.

Totally agree, good to have in the squad but isn't a captain. Vlaar is the best choice (when not injured). I think Guzan should be second choice as he always seems to be shouting encouragement at the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
