Over Gibson. Bang in the middle.

Why have Gibson and Parker/Sandro in the middle? They're too similar.

You need a bit of creativity in the middle.

Gibson and Parker aren't similar at all.

Parker is a defensive minded midfielder but he can't pick a pass like Gibson can, and he can't dictate attacks like Gibson can.

Fellaini is the best player of all of them (which is why he's getting linked with a £30m move) so he starts regardless.

Gibson gives you creativity. A lot of our attacking play stems from him putting his foot on the ball and then picking a pass to a winger or overlapping full back. He very rarely plays a "Joe Allen" pass.
 
I genuinely think people underrate Gibson because he looks like your average slightly overweight lid looking worse for wear in the pub.
 
Yep. He's a very creative player, but because his name isn't Darondro Gibsinho people don't see it.

He gives us something we've missed since Arteta before the injury. He makes us tick when he plays and I honestly believe, in 5 or 6 years, we'll be talking of him as one of Moyes' best ever signings.
