Agbonlahor’s first half Villa performance has Gary Neville and co giggling

The scale of the task at hand for new Villa boss Remi Garde was summed up during their 3-1 loss away to Spurs on Monday night.

During half time, Gary Neville revealed the worrying stat for Garde, that Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor had managed just 8 touches in the opening 45 minutes, the lowest for any player so far this season.

Two of those touches had been from the kick off, a point which had Neville’s studio colleagues Frank Lampard and Jamie Carragher giggling like school boys.
