Guest av1 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I always hate the argument that players are good because of "those things you don't see" another favorite is "Just their presence in the side"I like to base my opinion on things I do see. Which is a basically a very fast bloke with little footballing ability. We need better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Let him earn a recall. Stick him in the stiffs.Hope I never see the waste of space again.If he's our option, we are well and truly f***edsinclair + ayew + adama have done nothing more than gabby. Sinclair, Ayew an Adama haven't played over 300 games for us.errrr ok. Wonderful point as to whether someone should start today or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know what gabby will give us, an most of the time its F*** all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its **** allBut there is a chance that those players could offer us something as the season goes on as they improve.We know what Gabby has given us for the last 5yrs. Its **** all.

Chicken Field Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 and we know what sinclair, ayew and adama have given us so far this season. Its **** allWell Sinclair at least look able to score goals, Ayew I am not to sure about and very harsh to put Adama on here, as he is still a teenager that has hardly featured and has just as many assists as Gabby.

VillanousOne Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The only thing that'll stop him walking straight back into the team is the fact he hasn't trained much at all, so hopefully he'll be on the bench.Sherwood has probably worked out by now he needs leaders and experience in the side, something we don't have much of and something he probably thinks Gabby can provide.Kozak isn't going to start so Gabby is about all we can field alongside Gestede, as I don't think Sinclair is much use in a central role. Not saying Gabby is much use in any role either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Pretty anonymous in first half but so was everything down the left. Came out well second half, got assist, typical gabby shot (looking like he wouldnt score) and contributed well defensively. Pretty solid performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 and we know what sinclair, ayew and adama have given us so far this season. Its **** allAdama at Palace did what Gabby did today, an assist. Aside from the cross, Gabby was non-existant today. He isn't good enough to start for us anymore and sums us up we see him as a potential saviour as soon as he recovers from injury. It's not 2009 anymore sadly.

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Terrific cross for the goal but was a passenger in the game aside from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Always a passenger. I guess if you can't be very good, you may as well be very lucky. For the life of me i just don't know what he's done to have earned a sudden recall to the starting line up. It seems like every time he either gets injured or on the very cusp of being dropped, someone else gets injured, red carded [ Benteke spuds] or the team play appalling whilst he is injured and therefore provide him with an easy route back into the team. Like i say better to be lucky!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Thought he did ok today and no surprise the winning goal came from the left once he came off. Great cross for the goal and looked decent.I'd like to see a front 3 of gabby....ayew....adama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Great assist and did ok other than that, could do with playing with a decent strike partner and not a donkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div3 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 On a couple of occasions yesterday we saw flashes of what Gabby can do. One of them led to a rare shot at goal and the other the goal. The trouble yesterday wais that because of age or fitness he was off the pace of the game and didn't contribute enough. I wasn't sure what his role was to be honest and saw him playing very deep and not supporting Gestede or Ayew who like it or not are the future fore us.There may be a role for him as a sub, or in a different formation but he didn't fit in yesterday.

It was noticeable that after the substitution, Gestede had to stop trying to flick the ball on because no one was running into the space behind him, I thought Gabby did okay. Ayew was the pick of the four attacking players I think, but Gabby was fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just hoping that we finally get a manager who can see the bigger picture and finally bench him for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
