They're not defensive players. Gibson is not a defensive player, he's an out and out midfielder who is strong in the tackle but can also play long balls like it's nothing.
A defensive midfielder is somebody like De Jong.

Suppose it depends on how you look at the game and the player. Gibson is superb at getting attacks started by keeping it simple and then he has moments where he produces the attacking ball like Spurs first half on multiple occasions.
Just because people may put 'holding' or 'defensive' onto midfielder does not mean that the player or position is solely for defending and in Gibson's case the only defensiveness is to break up play and as soon as he does he is there to play it in an attacking way.

Wow
some crazy comments on here.
Wigan's one and two touch football today was superior to a lot of supposed better teams at goodison this season.
There are very few easy games in the premier league (ask City,for all their money).
Today was a good result,keeps us knocking on the door.
Moyes decisions today were correct.

Yeah, what I like about Gibson is most of his passes are forward. And he makes a lot of passes.
Lmao. The only good players they had were Kone and Maloney. The rest were pub players.
The number 6 who seen alot of the ball had the touch of Jimmy Saville. They were by far the worst technically ive seen at Goodison this season
You're being pedantic though and ignoring the real issue, which is why you seem to think that Barkley would have been so much better than Hitz today.

We were the better side and deserved to win, it dosen't matter if we didn't play amazing there have been games this season where we have been brilliant and not got 3 points, the main thing is we got another important 3 points and are still in the hunt for the top 4.
Not pedantic. Gibson and Hitz both sitting midfielders. They aint like a fabregas or Nasri.
I believe we would have been better going forward if Barkley played.
Its not so much Hitz that annoyed md for Barkleys sake it was Heitinga on in midfield.
Midfield should have been:
Naismith Osman Gibson Pienaar
