momo Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) The amount of criticism this guy gets. I am glad not one of you is managing Villa. After all, what do you know that O'Neill, MacDonald, Houllier, McLeish, Lambert and Sherwood don't??? It is clear that he is not a prolific goalscorer, but he terrorizes the opposition defenders and makes room for the other forwards to score. It is easy to see when he is out of the team that something is lacking. Edited August 8, 2015 by momo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 He was awful. People defend his record by saying he plays on the wing. He plays up top and does nothing, he doesn't hold the ball up, he doesn't provide an option, he doesn't win 50/50s. We were rocking that first half, we couldn't get out...and still he just isolated himself. Is it instructions? Desire? Intelligence? I don't know. I would, if we had to...put him on the wing or nothing. "Run in a straight line, that's your strength. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I thought he was OK played a lot better on wing though, Gabby summed himself up in last few minutes did brilliantly and created space for himself and then passed to Boruc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I think Ayew will be more suited to the middle striker more than gabby. disappointed in him today tbh as I expected him to carry more of a threat. Couple of good runs but not enough. 5/10 imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The very few times we did look dangerous Gabby was heavily involved and his workrate today was again excellent. He had a thankless task the first half as we failed to get the ball to him. He will have a big part to play this season and I think will do well playing alongside Gestede. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Decent game, certainly wasn't the worst I've ever seen him. He could easily have had an assist from the Amavi shot, just think we're moving on as a club now so not sure he'll be in the starting 11 much longer.

poitier Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I thought he did well in the second half, first half the ball was nowhere near him, but had a good run when he did get it and bought us a free kick on the edge of the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 He was OK. Created a good chance, worked hard and caused a few minor issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Surely Sherwood will go for Gestede, Ayew and Grealish/Gil eventually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'd like to think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Had a good game today, the best of our front 3 that started the game, was a real handful second half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thought he was a threat today at times. Amazed at some of the comments today whilst he has his faults the hate some people seem to have towards him is astonishing. We have won a very tricky away game got the three points today. Gabby did well he seems to be an easy target for some people which is a shame 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Can't argue with his contribution today - he's not the most talented/skilled player by any stretch but he causes problems when he puts a shift in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Got a feeling Gabby/ Rudy partnership could be monstrous this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thought he was ok. Did go missing for a while in the first half but did really get in to it second half and to be fair he did put a shift in and stretched them a few times. Performances like that I would take, problem is he just doesn't produce them often enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 He was much better than Ayew and Sinclair today. Two great runs and his passing was sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
