Gibson had the 3rd highest number of touches today behind Fellaini and Baines, and had the highest passing accuracy of 92% along with 3 key passes

The Paddy Pirlo.
Our metronome. Sets the pace and keeps us ticking over.
I didn't see it in him when he signed either.
Just goes to show, you can't judge a player until he's had playing time.
The kind of stats Fellaini could only dream of
And his passes were really difficult. He played a crossfield near the end and I was thinking "what are you doing? We don't need that!" expecting it to go out or at least be difficult to control, but it landed right at Baines' feet. Brilliant.
Better than Neville or Cahill or in midfield for certain, maybe even Heitinga and Bily too.
So yeh, better than what we currently have.
Mate, Gibson was on the pitch, we were always gonna win :dancing:I was just about to comment in the match thread when the game was nearly over that this would have been the first time that we'd lost a game in the league were he played the full 90..
Glad I didn't jinx it now!![]()
