I don't think that's what he's referring to but he still needs to get over himself.
I'm confused.
Played well judging by comments on GrandOldTeam.
Starts V Man U in the FA Cup semi.
Big opportunity this for Gibson - cup semi-final against his old club, with a point or two to prove and a possible Euros spot on the line.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
If Dimitar Berbatov was a deep lying midfielder he'd be Darron Gibson. Economy of effort.
Darren played so deep I though he was the centre half.
i thought he did ok - used the ball well when it came to him and stuck to his position. he seems slower than usual though... it does come off a bit like not being too bothered.
mccarthy didn't play particularly well i thought.
He did ok yesterday. His stats were decent. Most tackles made by anyone on the pitch. 2nd in passes made, passing accuracy, interceptions, accurate long balls for Everton.
He generally does look slower and he was basically a CB for the second half. This has basically happened on all 3 of his starts that I've seen this season. Whether this is because he is f***** or a deliberate tactic I don't know. Martinez was happy to see it happen for the whole half so it makes me think it was deliberate and it allowed Stones to bring the ball out and indeed it coincided with Everton's best spell of play in a match in a long time. Hopefully some regular minutes could help him develop some match fitness. Don't forget this is only his second game since January.
He's done better this week to be fair to him. Some nice long passing and simple link up play. He does play ridiculously deep! I also think he makes Stones look/play better. Always an out pass for him and on the same wavelength.
McCarthy has been very quiet apart from skiffing an air shot in a good position.
Arter hasn't impressed me too much apart from a couple of good tackles. But the commentators have been very complimentary so I'm probably missing something.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
signed a new two year deal at Everton: https://twitter.com/everton/status/740906457483218948
NEWS ALERT! @D_gibson4 has extended his contract by two years to 2018. #EFC.
That's an interesting one!
Wonder if Koeman had a say in this?
Gibson said he was fit all season interestingly enough.
