Maybe the OP heard Eamonn Dunphy slate him after the Ireland game (despite the fact that like today he was a late sub not given much time to do anything) and is mental enough to agree with him.

The last big game that Gibson started for United was the FA Cup semi last year and he was fucking brilliant in that.

Christ, have we not learned anything from Darren Fletcher, that midfield box to box players often only come into their own in their mid 20s?

Andy Reid and Lee Carsley.

Christ, they are exactly the names that Dunphy was spouting on Wednesday.
Do you think I base all my opinions on what Dunphy says? Cop on. And he was not a late sub on Wednesday. He was an early sub. And in relation to that match, Andy Reid/Lee Carsley would at least have contributed something rather than simply stand in the centre circle and give the ball away over and over again. Plus, Gibson is not box to box. He is too slow to be.

Eamon Dunphy. For fuck sake.
