Pelle Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Funny how playing on the wing hasnt stopped Weimann scoring? He doesn't play on the wing? Also Weinmann's work at the other end leave a bit to be desired... Yes, he works hard but too many times he do the wrong things defensively. I think he'll be a very good striker in the future, though. Talking about Weimann. Gabby was my motm yesterday, but he wasn't great. But he worked hard and caused them some problems. I'm not having a pop at Weimann, I think he's doing really well. No, I actually agreed with you about his work "in the other end", which I presumed meant the defence. And on that I agree that he leaves a lot to desire. Works hard, but not right. In the attack h's a real talent. So, all in all, the conclusion is that I think we agree.

markavfc40 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Cracking finish from Gabby today. Over the years he has scored some really important goals for us and today was up there as one of the most important. He was also really unlucky in the second half when he curled a lovely effort just wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think he accidentally slightly copied Weimann's goal celebration. He would be MOM if it wasn't for Benteke being such a beast. He's good with retaining possession, Gabby. The system suits him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo69 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 So you think he should be dropped? He may not be the future for Villa but IMO he is crucial to us at the moment because there is nobody better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have him as a guaranteed starter. There are opponents where he would be useful, absolutely, but he should be a squad player, not a first team guarantee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 So you think he should be dropped? He may not be the future for Villa but IMO he is crucial to us at the moment because there is nobody better. The point is, the lad is on 60k a week. There shouldnt be anybody better. He needs to be absolutely awesome for that money, which he just isnt. Very appreciative of the goal Gabby, and agree that he seems to pop up with important goals. But thats what makes it frustrating. Pop up consistently through the season and Il give you your 60k a week and I may even start to believe the ludicrous myth that he is one of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I don't think he had a very good game yesterday, save for a nice, thumping finish. He doesn't often turn up in games against shittier opposition but usually raises his game against the good teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Is he really on 60k? Where did that come from? I don't think that's true. Gabby is essential for our counter attacking - I can't believe people call him lazy because the way I see it he is anything but. He's got so much better on the ball over the last few years but still has the pace. He ruins full-backs and gives us a great outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was made one of our higher earners on his last contract, which put him on relative parity with petrov, dunne etc. So between 50-60k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I thought Gabby was absolutely atrocious until he scored. Every ball bounced off him, every pass barely went two feet and every attempt to run at them man resulted in Reading running away with the ball. And then in a goal mouth scramble the ball fell in front of him and he absolutely belted the ball into the roof of the net and he was brilliant thereafter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
