“I think you’re taking your bitterness with getting released by Man Utd out on me. Are you ok?? Still hurting?!”
'kinell that's heavy!His latest post on Savage
If SAF does not trust him enough to start such a game when we are short of midfielders then when is he going to get games? What the hell did O'Shea do in the midfield that Gibson could not do? This has nothing to do with the results, but the structure of the team. We played well despite this selection. The midfield collapsed and it was just a matter of time and composure
You 2 are joking right?Agreed. O'Shea is never a midfielder and if Fergie trusts Gibson less than O'Shea to play there you have to wonder why we didn't bring anyone in as only Carrick able to hold in a 4-5-1 is shocking.
Yeh he and Park were stripped ready to come on but only Park did for some reason.At some point I even thought he was coming on but no.Was I dreaming ?
With Scholes so deep these days and Fletcher in the team did we really need an anchor? If Gibson was good enough he would have found his way into that midfield but he clearly isn't.You 2 are joking right?
O'Shea was brought in to anchor the midfield and protect the back 4. That isn't the sort of player Gibson is.
We know why he was in the team, but it was useless, he kept on moving back and back and just cluttering the box getting in the way of our center backs.You 2 are joking right?

These are the games Gibson should play and I don't like the confidence SAF is showing in the lad.
I'm not saying O'Shea did well, i'm explaining his selection.In order to protect the back 4 and anchor the midfield, the occassional tackle would be quite nice.
But he should really not be an option!!I'm not saying O'Shea did well, i'm explaining his selection.
Why not?But he should really not be an option!!
Yeh I mentioned that in another thread. Certainly food for thought. It's all irrelevant though, of course.Wonder if we would have let in those late goals if O'Shea had still been playing in midfield and tracking runs from deep into the box prior to Evra going off.
Probably not. But it was strange. In those last two minutes we just plain switched off. Van de Sar was the only player awake trying to stave off defeat.Wonder if we would have let in those late goals if O'Shea had still been playing in midfield and tracking runs from deep into the box prior to Evra going off.
He's been light years above Fletcher in this game, but hey, lets just spout the same old bullshitAnonymous so far tonight. Sometimes I think if he didn't have a brilliant shot on him he'd not get a sniff.
He'll not be at United next year if you ask me.
Has he feck. He's done nothing. Fletcher is playing like Fletcher. Chasing, carrying, harrassing. Gibson has done feck all.He's been light years above Fletcher in this game, but hey, lets just spout the same old bullshit
Fletcher has had his worst game for years. Get a fecking grip.Has he feck. He's done nothing. Fletcher is playing like Fletcher. Chasing, carrying, harrassing. Gibson has done feck all.
Pretty much feck all. Can't make good forward passes and can't fecking hold the ball up. Why the hell Sir Alex didn't bring Anderson on when we clearly needed another midfielder not a striker.Can you play a designated "kicker" in a two man midfield. I am struggling to think of anything else Gibson offers.
