lets be honest, last night was one of gibbo's best performances without a goal, but United on the whole were not up to our standard. We can argue till the cows come home that it wasn't gibsons fault but in the end, every player has to do their bit and if thats Gibo at his best minus goals, well, he's not United material. A good squad player he might be, but we don't need another squad player, especially with Scholes retiring in the not too distant future. We need a player thats willing to take a game and turn it around and Gibo just isn't that kind of player. I'd love it if he turned it around ala Berba, but at his age, I just don't see it. Even Fletcher had some great qualities about him in terms of movement and tackling but Gibo just has his shooting and he's not really a striker... I hope he goes on loan to find himself because I don't see him as a United player if last night is all he can offer as an impact sub.
and to counteract Top's post. Nobody at this level is average, its just that they don't push up that standard like a select view. Its nothing to be ashamed off, hell, I think most caftards would sell their mother to be where he is, just that he may not be United quality.
