PaulC Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Maybe if he had started at QPR we might have had a different result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 He was dreadful at Everton so didn't deserve to start v QPR. He's a hit and miss player, that's clear from his 2 years. He needs to start regularly at home though as he can run with the ball at pace so that's as close to midfield creativity as we get nowadays.

In fairness though Gabby has been dreadful for a long time but he still gets to start most games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I've never said Gabby should be a regular starter at home in fairness, him on the bench today was a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted November 2, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) I like Zog. He's got his flaws, but he is different from our other players. You don't always know what he will do with the ball. I always respect a player who is able to hold onto a ball. Many times that sort of players do it to a fault, just like Charles.

Brumstopdogs Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Played very well today and is the most creative player in our team IMO. Should start every week for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I think the fact that his contract is running down is providing him with a bit of motivation. He was excellent v Spurs, my MOTM. The thing with him is that he's excellent at running with the ball, and he can even pass pretty well, but his ability to pass properly deteriorates with every yard he runs. He seemed to mostly remember this important fact v Tottenham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted November 3, 2014 Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2014 We've been here before with him though, odd decent or even good performances the problem is that they are few and far between. So while he played well I'm not adjusting my view of him or thinking he is suddenly going to be the player we thought we were getting. Would be nice though.

Stevo985 Posted November 3, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 3, 2014 He's so inconsistent in the final third. Showed great energy yesterday and ran with the ball excellently. But, apart from his assist, he seemed to make the wrong decision with his final ball every time. I guess that's what's stopping him becoming a really good player. Would like to see more of him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Even with all his faults, the lack of consistency, the off days, the overall frustration...he is still our most creative outlet, I would play him every week, I would let him do whatever he wanted like Martinez did at Wigan. Go out and there and win us games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Once in a blue moon he plays well, I fully expect him to be back to 'normal' next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its ridiciously unfair how much more stick Zog get than those two who have been.Tthey have been playing playing week out for 3 seasons now. Zog has been injured for a very long time. My opinion is that Zog has been one of our best players this season. Edited November 3, 2014 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 But, apart from his assist, he seemed to make the wrong decision with his final ball every time. That's what he does. He runs brilliantly, but running the way he does uses a lot of energy and that can make you careless about what happens next. The reason he made such a great pass for the assist was that he hadn't had to run anywhere before he made it. I think he'd be a sensational player if he could somehow learn to offload the ball before he's knacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 People want him to run with the ball and commit defenders but the risk of getting tackled is high. Played good yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Played well yesterday and just edged out Sanchez as my MOTM. Players of Zogs ilk are rarely consistant and if he was he would be playing for Bayern, Real or Barca not us. He show a lot of passion and was constantly shouting at others to get into position.

LondonVillian Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Dunno what game you were watching apart from the assist (which was good fair play) he was doing his usual run around like a headless chicken before getting tackled before the final ball.
