Nice to see him fitting well into the Everton side.
Darron Gibson - is he good enough for Everton?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
He was obviously a well rounded midfielder who has a pretty good eye for a pass, I'm surprised more teams don't try to get our surplus players. It's like the way people can't seem to believe our team won the league last year, or are leading this year.
It's not all about short players who dribble all day, only the fastest or the biggest.
For all the money thrown around on players, Gibson, O'Shea and Brown have been some of the best purchases of the season. Considering Liverpool's problems I feel safe saying they'd be doing much better with those 3 in their starting line-up.

If he'd started his career at a club like Everton, there's be a lot of people pointing to him and asking why a bigger club hadn't come in for him. He's a bit like Scott Parker in this way - a player who does the simple things quite well, one who can improve a team who're lacking a bit of bite, but ultimately limited at the top level. Parker's level is modern-day Tottenham (a club who're fighting for a CL spot), not Mourinho's Chelsea, who reasonably hoped to win it. Likewise, Gibson's level is Everton, who're battling for a Europa League spot, not Man United, who again hope to win the CL.
That said, he was an honest and hard-working player whilst here, who just wasn't as naturally talented as his contemporaries. I'm pleased for him that he's found his level and has become an important player in his team.

rubbish @ that last post
Well Gibson's obviously a different type of midfielder to Parker, but as for all the level stuff, then I'd say RedRob's about right.
Well I just hope he isn't unbeaten till the end of the season as we still have to play them! That being said, I am really happy for Gibson. He deserved a shot to play regularly, and that was not going to happen at United. I hope he has a great career at Everton.
It sounds like Rooney and Moyes have patched things up too... Nice to hear.
Yes, I always thought he was a a dozy bugger when he was with us. Turns out he didn't think he needn't to run.
Ah well, good luck against Liverpool.
come on Gibbo!!!
Yeah, kind of a strange comment, I doubt that anyone told him to hold off on his pressing. Though coming off one of our most lethargic performances of the year one can get the impression that occasionally we try to play deep and pick off passes rather than press the man with the ball. I prefer pressing myself.
I thought he was great today. Especially in the first half.
Kept it simple, played some good balls, and the Everton players looked for him all the time.

So he hasn't lost a league game now since 26-27 games right?
Judas.
bet Moses was secretly wanking every time he made a pass.

He's Everton's Carrick. He's not a YouTube player but his contribution is underrated by most.
We should have held on to him.
Why? He's done a good job for Everton but he's not anything special and had no place in our team. Would've just been a waste of space in all honesty.
He was good value for money for Everton, or anyone else, but he's not Champions League standard.
What was his stats yesterday, i don't really see him that much in the game
I didn't think he was great at all. Did anyone see him last week against Liverpool? Shocking/.
He was as he always was for us. Not very mobile, and poor in a defensive sense - all over the place when we put a bit of tempo in our game.
He is a decent signing for them though.

Rooney is a fan.
Good to see.
Good to see.
pretty sure rooney had a word with him about going there. Rooney is still a big everton fan.
Hope to see him bang in a few crackers this season.
Mostly because he's in my Fantasy Football team but also because he seems like a decent bloke.

What's all this then? Seems a bit strange. Similar to the Carrick-Capello situation?
Wouldn't blame him, has had next to no game-time under Trap. Seeing Paul Green get on the pitch ahead of him must have been quite dishearthening indeed. Another player to seemingly get fed up with Trap, sigh....
hope his injury is not too bad.
He's not injured.
did I imagine him hobbling off and being replaced?
He got injured today. The Ireland squad thing is a completely separate issue.
Hurt his groin apparently
He is too good for Everton, I have feeling Barcelona will pick him in the summer.
holy shit, that's impressive.
Looks like the hair transplant has helped his confidence too.
;-)
;-)
Quality! 
I've always liked him even if he wasn't successful at United from an individual POV.Very happy for him at Everton
Who the feck is that!

That's actually brilliant. Reading the thread on GOT, looks like he was MoTM yesterday. Well done.
