Zatman Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Something like a cup final winning goal will get him in the legends box not anything he does in the league from now on. probably no stats from start of time but he probably near the top of derby goals for the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The epitome of a form player - lets hope this patch continues for as long as possible. I think for him to hit form however, you need the manager to embrace the "local lad from Erdington, Villa's Number 1 fan" factor. As I said previously, Sherwood has pounced on this and the brolove seems to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 74 goals is 42nd position in the Premier League top goalscorers. not bad, but not great for the number of years he's played. Either way, he's been fantastic in the past 2 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walesavfc Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) he has had a lot of wasted games on the wings or his goal tally would be upto and around the 100 mark meening 1in3 and that wouldn`t be bad tbh, would like to see his goal ratio playing has a striker v his goal ratio playing has a winger just had a quick look without going into too much detail, In his first 4 years he scored 47 goals in 147, this is the time with Carew playing in a partnership since then he has played 153 and scored 30 mostly on the wing for lambert Edited March 15, 2015 by walesavfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 No intention of changing my opinion on him, still a shockingly average professional footballer in my humble view. Having been raised on the likes of Little, Gray, Deehan, Shaw, Saunders, Yorke, he pales into insignificance to be honest. Despite this still he is still in the one swallow doesn't make a summer category, and does not make up for the dross that has gone before. This said however I am a villan and i am delighted by the fact he has scored along with Benteke and the new wave of optimism sweeping over us now. If you've no intention of every changing your opinion then you're wasting your breath posting. We got you the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Always been a massive critic of gabby, but he's doing brilliantly these last few weeksPretty much my own thoughts. And mine, ive give him some right stick on here lately and all of it warranted IMO, but the change in the last 2 weeks, he is playing as well as he was 4/5 years ago. Back to goal, making runs off benteke and also picking up the ball and running at defenders and taking them on. Long may it continue.

Dave J Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 "One swallow doesn't make a summer" Dave has said that three times recently. How many swallow do make a summer? Its not even correct.

Either way, he's been fantastic in the past 2 games He annoys me at times but then I remember all the goals against SHA and WBA and he makes me happy again. Especially the winner against SHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not talking about the phrase, you're talking about a translation and the word order here doesn't matter as the meaning is the same. Ridiculous pedantry all round (me included, I realise). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'd love him to get to 100 league goals for us, I think he deserves that. I've always been a fan of his it must be said, but for the last couple of years, you could always throw the "not giving 100%" stick at him. Was never ever, going to be an efficient winger, regardless of his pace, stick him up front and he'll get you ~10 league goals a season and a couple of assists. He just doesn't have the technical attributes to be a winger, you must use his pace in the most simple fashion, to get in on goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Fair play a couple of good games. I want to see him do well so badly. I enjoy seeing him score more than Benteke because he is one of us. He's been a good servant to the club no doubt, but he needs to continue scoring to make up for the last 3 or four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
