Darron Gibson

[EFCPaul]

Absolutely outstanding tonight, reminded everyone of just boss he is when he's fit. That through-ball to Mirallas, covered my boxers in sperm.

 

[JP McMurphy]

When he first came into the side we went on a unbeaten run, only losing in games he was out, real good player, such a shame his injuries have taken what would of been a great career away from him.

True, but if he'd stayed fit at Utd, we would never have got him here, def the Scholes replacement until his body fell apart

 

[The Esk]

Gibson is so much than a defensive midfielder (albeit very good defensively) - his range of passing stretches the game creating space between the opponent's defence and midfield, or on the break a defence splitting pass (as in Mirellas' goal this evening)

We are a hugely more potent force with him in the team, particularly with Lukaku in the team.

Let's hope he can have a prolonged spell injury free.

LOL at how Gibson's pulled so many forum pants down tonight.

I would say he's a complete midfielder.


When fully fit.

In addition to previous points, a fit Gibson will see us progress much further in the EL - his direct style of passing is particularly potent versus continental European teams.

 

[toffeejack]

he's class. starts at arsenal for me. we just have to play him whenever he's fit really, he gets injured by not playing so no point in keeping him under wraps in case he gets injured after being rushed back etc.

Made supporting Everton good again tonight, did Gibbo

In my view, supporting Everton is always good, Gibbo makes it better

Majestic tonight.


Strolled around like he owned the place.

Will in lad. Please stay fit x

I would start the same team apart from baines, stones and lennon playing instead of gabutt, alcaraz, naismith. I do rate besic but he has been overrated by alot of are fans, gibson is the only center midfielder we have who is able to pass all over the pitch instead of just doing short passes. Great to have him back the only problem is how long he can stay fit

 

[Yard Dog]

We need to do a Ledley King with him; sack all training off and just get him on the pitch on a Saturday. He's that important to us, especially when we've had so little ambition playing the ball forward this season.

Garbutt was quality tonight, again, and deserves to keep his place. Same for Naismith. Alcaraz was, well, Alcaraz. Ffs.

 

[ilikecheese]

I know I forgot how boss he can be.

 

[StatesideBlue3]

He adds a new dimension to our midfield with long penetrating balls. If fit, he should be starting over Barkley currently.
