I think that is fair. I am sure we went 10-15 games were we hardly lost when Gibson was fit and playing at his best under Moyes. He had a huge impact upon that side and we really missed him when he first went out.

It is a big shame that injuries have got in the way. I feel very sorry for him, as it's one thing after another. He had the thigh problem, he eventually got over that and did his knee ligaments. When he eventually got over that he broke is foot. There is a reasonable argument to say he is injury prone, but I also think there is a fair amount of bad luck, given the injuries are in different areas and not related to one another.

I think it has had a huge impact upon him personally. I have always said I have very little sympathy with pro footballers. They earn millions of pounds a year and are still paid when injured. They live the life of riley that millions of people in this country on the breadline could only dream of. However that doesn't mean they can just switch emotions off. Gibson had just got himself to a situation where he had played his way back into Martinez's plans ready to kick on this season. His foot injury was particularly cruel.

He hasn't dealt with it very well. I am sure he will be gone at the end of the season.

That's the incident where he got fined by Ferguson for turning up 'worse for wear' for training in 2011. He was sold to Everton 17 days after that incident btw, maybe that should have told us a lot about his character that Ferguson shipped him of in the immediate aftermath of it - bad influence or realisation that he couldn't be stopped self destructing by old Red face

Mate his problems are of his own making, strangely enough the other two players that day have also suffered through injury problems throughout their careers, wonder why?

Gibson is a booze hound mate, the injury problems he has had have probably worsened it fair enough, but who knows if he'd treated his career in a professional way throughout if those injuries would have ever occurred at the frequency they do

Any bloke who gets into a car worse for wear and smashes into someone then drives off really doesn't deserve sympathy and he has had second chances throughout his career and pissed them up against the wall.

As for the inevitable , would you think they same way if it was Stones, Barkley etc who'd done it, then it's irrelevant as they didn't, If they did it though after 5-6 years of getting bladdered whilst getting 50k a week and missing 80% of the games then yeah I'd probably have little sympathy for them too.

Probably better suited for the Gibson thread actually...

Everton 1-0 ahead at half time,Paolo Alves should have made it 1-1 early on but somehow shot wide for them,

Great blockbusting run from Brewster, decent shout for a pen at the end but nothing given.

Save by our keeper with the feet as Alves was put through one on one.

28 mins left,still 1-0 to us,liverpool have been close a few times,most of our pressure has come down the right most of the game
