Gibbs is by far the worst left back I ahve ever seen play for us! I cannot believe people are touting him or even just suggesting he could fit in! His positioning is terrible, tracking back when he's been on a jolly is terrible, decision making is terrible and he seems to have a brain to make Diaby look like a genius.
Ok he's fast (apparantly) and English and prob ok going forward but the guy is a liability. Watch the FA Cup vs Manure this year again if you want good examples of all the above!

+1 !!!
You can also mention our game last week-end vs Fullham. I don't mind Gibbs as a squad player, but never ever should he start the games week-in week-out!

I say judge him after a run in the side. His best form for us has always been when he has had a decent run of games.
Tough to give him that run when the rest of the defence ships in so many goals and makes so many fuck ups. In a more solid unit (I'm gonna feel dirty all over for saying this) a la Man U with the Da Silva boys, he could have a shot at picking up some form.
But I fear if he starts first choice next year, he could be ruined before he's begun.
