Darron Gibson

Probably, United are after suffering 2 more injuries, Evans and Anderson, so he might get a run out some Premier League games as well.

It really really worries me that certain Irish fans can come out with a statement that he is the worst Irish player in the Premiership. He has now made his way bove possebon in the United squad and that says a lot as Fergie was singing Possebons praises at the end of last season. Trap and Fergie kow their stuff and they obviously see something worthwhile in Gibson

Is he still recovering from that horror tackle from Pogatetz last season or is he fit now?

He has been fit and available for good while now. He came on as a sub in their 3rd Round FA Cup match at Southampton.

Likely to play some part in the game against Spurs.

"Hopefully I can field a strong enough team. I've got enough midfield players in terms of Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher, Paul Scholes and Darron Gibson."

if he is including gibson in that already the future does look bright for him. He needs to really use these chances though, i can see him being involved with united at the same level as flethcher however, no more no less from what I have seen of him thus far.

Well if Fergie has has much patience with Gibson as he did with the Fletch he'll be given every possible opportunity to prove himself. Fletcher to me and many others looked absolutely brutal for the first couple of yrs at United but has proven to be a very useful squad player in the last couple. He has also soared as a vital component in the Scottish national side so hopefully Gibson can do something similar, he has it all to prove though.

Fletcher has started more Premiership games than any other outfield player this season for Utd.

No he hasn't?

No he hasn't is right. Berbatov and Vidic are two that have definitely started more Premier League matches and I think Ronaldo also. He has more than any other central midfield player alright but that's purely circumstantial. Firstly is versatile having played at right back as well as centre and right midfield. More importantly injuries to Hargreaves, Carrick, Scholes and even Ronaldo at the start of the season have moved him up the pecking order. Andersons injury should give him another few starts and even the absence of Rafael and Evans could mean a few more games at right back. Think we've lost the run of this 'Darron Gibson' thread and I'm only taking partial responsibility!!

If Daron Gibson does get as much as a run at it as Fletcher then he will have been given a good run for his money and yes Fletcher has become one of the main strengths in the scottish team in recent years.

mis heard or mis read?

**paul_oshea** · 24/01/2009, 4:24 PM

thought that was a bit harsh.

Probably the only fit manchester united player 1st team player not in the squad today. Although i do think we over analyse players on this site. Were we for example focus on Ronaldo for a game as if we were irish, the way gibsons performance was analysed on tuesday. we'd all spot plenty me mistakes he makes etc.

**rambler14** · 24/01/2009, 7:37 PM

Left out of the squad which really surprised me! The 3 fresh injuries achieved today to Fabio, Ronaldo and Welbeck should mean more action for Darron Gibson though.
