The 27-year-old disappointed Villa fans on Saturday afternoon, even if many feel some supporters took things too far.
Aston Villa fans were left bitterly disappointed by Rudy Gestede on Saturday afternoon, as the forward once again failed to shine – this time in the FA Cup against League Two Opposition.
Indeed, Gestede didn’t make any kind of impact against Wycombe Wanderers and supporters have grown increasingly frustrated with his contributions this season.
Many Villa fans do, however, feel those who confronted the target man on Saturday took things too far.
But that doesn’t change the fact Gestede has flattered to deceive and delivered another poor display against Wycombe, while his attitude in the face of criticism has been questioned by some.
| 2015/16 | Goals | Assists | Appearances | Minutes Played |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Ayew | 5 | 0 | 15 | 1,128 |
| Rudy Gestede | 3 | 0 | 20 | 1,117 |
| Carles Gil | 2 | 0 | 13 | 675 |
| Scott Sinclair | 2 | 0 | 15 | 1,059 |
As Opta stats show, the 27-year-old has scored just three Premier League goals this season – yet he is supposed to be Villa’s biggest goal threat.
Yes, Gestede has lacked service at Aston Villa. But his FA Cup display on Saturday was very much like his league displays, according to supporters.
Some fans may have gone too far but the target man’s attitude and general performance seemed to incense the Villa faithful. Here’s how supporters reacted on Twitter to the striker’s display v Wycombe:
