Nice stirring from PhilM. Being a Gibson superfan I can think of about 2 or 3 photos of Gibson posting a twitter photo with him drinking in the last 2-3 years. Why don't you share these photos to back up your statement, pal? Have you been tallying all our players drinking twitter photos. How many's Barkley had? Look at the beer belly on the poor trainer.

Gibson seems fully aware he needs a good season as much for himself as for Everton/Ireland

He said: “Being out for 10 months last season gave me a lot of time to think about things, and I think this is now or never, really, to be honest with you, so I am looking forward to the task ahead. “It just made me realise that I’m not getting any younger. I need to start playing games and I need to start doing well for myself. It’s a big opportunity for me.”

Thought he looked good in preseason, looking forward to him playing when he is fully match fit.

Got a feeling he'll star against Wolfsburg or Palace. Will definitely play against Swansea

 

[Matthew Martinez]

I'm really hoping he comes back strong if he gets back to the top of his game he can really push for a regular starting spot.

It'll be interesting to see which way martinez goes between him and Barry. I think he offers more when we have the ball, controlling possession and better passing range etc whereas Barry is better without it, positionally and defensively. Think this one of the good dilemmas.

 

[blueboy1945]

We'll agree to disagree, but from what I've seen and know Im confident that Martinez has 'discussed' the matters with him.

Rooney has the same problems; too much drinking and smoking in the Orient in Speke has played a part in his decline.

Is the Orient still going then? Used to drink there when I was a young lad in the early '60s!

If he comes through this game, it's Extra fitness
Could be a good Oman like...

Deserved more credit.

It was up until a few years ago. Rooney's relative was/is the licensee so knew he could drink and smoke in peace.

Carn Gibba.

Last chance mate.

Gibson, Besic and Jimmy Mac as midfield three in a derby. YES, I wouldn't even be arsed about the score, just the amount of damage they'd do. Fat Arse benitez done that to us for years when we where weak as a wet fart in CM

 

[Liamliverpool86]

Rooney in the orient ...heard it all now , am gonna have to ask colleens brothers who I play footy with to confirm that cos Am not having that ...the orient haha

I hope Gibson makes it back and plays consistently but I have serious doubts.

I wouldn't play him a derby game miles too slow.

He's got warp speed compared to Gerrard

Would you play Barry instead?

 

[dave abrahams]

Tim Cahill yes every time Barry is well proven and his experience will be invaluable against Liverpool.
