KSV Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 say what you like about Gabby.. but when weve needed him the most he pops up with performances like that. Big game player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivahate Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 He took his goal very well. Especially considering we've seen him scuff one-on-ones a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I thought he was outstanding last night, particularly once we conceded the goal, he worked his bloody socks off and twice sprinted 40 yards to win a ball back. Took his goal brilliantly as well, congratulations on being Aston Villas top premiership marksman Gabby, you should be very proud. I'm glad I have you as my Angel on every christmas tree I've put up since your debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Congratulations Gab on reaching the milestone, hopefully you can add many more in the coming years! Edited April 30, 2013 by Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah deserves a lot of credit does Gabby.. I have been critical of him at times purely out of frustration as much as anything else but he missed a chance & just kept going. He was a real thorn in their side last night & delighted he got his goal in the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Also gotta add... Gabby rounding the keeper in a one on one?! Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 gets a lot of criticism some from me but the unsung hero of our season. Since he hit form around January he has been reall consistent and compliments weimann and benteke well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah I hold my hand up here. My problem with him was always frustration at the fact he can go missing for months on end. But that hasn't happened this season. He has led by example as a senior pro in our desperate time of need. He has shown character that; to my mind; he hadn't shown before. He has been a constant thorn in opposition sides this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Worked his absolute socks off last night was brilliant, if Benteke had his work rate he'd be worth 50mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Was saying to my mate on the way home ,he looks like he is actually learning to be a footballer now rather than just some bloke who can sprint after a ball can only assume it's down to Lambert and his team ??

praisedmambo Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Was saying to my mate on the way home ,he looks like he is actually learning to be a footballer now rather than just some bloke who can sprint after a ball can only assume it's down to Lambert and his team ?? He's developed so much this season. He always brings the ball forwards, rarely loses the ball and nobody can get near him. I love those dribbles he does now looping away from the left wing into the centre of the pitch, driving it forwards. The second half of the season he has been one of a group of essential players. We could do with another Gabby to rotate with Weimann and then we'd have phenomenal options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I still look back and can't believe some fans got on his back in the last couple of season's. He was being played out of position and that made his form suffer. This season, Lambert has let him go back up top as a 'wide' forward and Gabby has been superb. To see a guy who is Villa through-and-through and what it means to him to play for the club is the best thing a fan can get from a player. Last night, in the second half especially, it was like he had become possessed. The way he chased everything and created chances, it was a big performance from a true Villa legend. As he went off and he came towards the tunnel, the fist pump to the North Stand got a huge cheer, brilliant. Glad he claimed that record for most Prem goals for the club too, he deserves that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2013 I have to say. I was incredibly impressed with the way he took his goal. I didn't think he had that level of composure in him. When he was in a similar situation against Stoke he completely messed it up with being indecisive. I wonder if they worked on that in training after he missed that opportunity?

Delphinho123 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 If we can keep hold of him, Weimann and Benteke next season, our front line is sorted. We can then concentrate on a couple of midfielder and defenders. Gabby is a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Love that he had the confidence to round the keeper and in some style and ignoring Bent. The celebration was arousing too. Love, love, loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 After years of being mismanaged, played out of position and having his confidence sapped, it finally looks like we have our boy Gabs back... Which is fantastic because he feels for the club the same way we do... So chuffed he broke Yorkes record and hope he can go on to do a lot more for the club... He IS a Villa legend now, there is no doubt about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
