Dr_Pangloss Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Didn't see anything in Bowery last week to pick him in front of Bent. Hope he proves me wrong. Apart from actually tracking and defending you mean? Thats why Lambert doesn't play Bent its quite obvious and clear to see. Come on Villa big game this with losing next week. Yeah and Bent scores goals. They're quite obviously very different players, but like I said, Bowery didn't show me anything that would make me pick him over Bent. I'd like to be proven wrong. Was that so difficult to understand? The role Bowery played against Stoke was the sort that Bent could never play. I think Lambert is trying to be consistent, with Insomnia coming in to play the Gabby role. Starting with Bent ahead of Bowery would change the system... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 more bothered about nzogbia in there than bowery bowery might not be good enough but thats still better than watching zog play for himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Gabby went off last week - Lambert was hoping he would be ok - but doesn't leak much out v injuries in the build up to games. He's a massive loss for us - time for Nzog to step up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knvilla772 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Lets hope gabby has a bug and will be back for the other big games coming up! Fulham are missing Sidwell so hopefully Delph can stay solid and keep his head on the game. Come on the villa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 anyone confirm gabby has an injury or is he rested? He went off injured against Stoke IIRC. I'm sure the commentator said something about him holding an ice pack against his leg after he was off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm more of the old school way of thinking that football is a simple game, and that the system is secondary behind putting the 11 best players on the pitch. I wouldn't put Bent out wide, but I would accommodate Bent by perhaps moving other people around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 hope we don't miss gabby too much. Come on NZogbia, step up! better fit than bent there at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nice but a more 'new school' system has been benefiting us greatly of late so why on earth would Lambert change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
