Villa boss O'Neill: No doubts over Agbonlahor drought

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has no doubts over Gabby Agbonlahor, despite the striker going ten games without a goal.

"Gabby Agbonlahor is the last player in the world I will be sitting down and criticising. A fortnight ago at Arsenal he was incredible and he ran Arsenal ragged," O'Neill told Villa's website.

"The only thing about it - and he shouldn't get down - is that I know centre forwards have it in the back of their minds that they want to score a goal or two.

"He hasn't scored for a number of games. He hasn't scored this year and he will be worrying about that, but it doesn't bother me a jot. It will worry him a bit - of course it will.

"I know Gabby does so much more and so many other things for us as well as attempting to score goals.

"Saturday wasn't his best day, but I am not concerned about Gabby. He will get a goal again and he is the least of my concerns at this football club."
