Darron Gibson

I wouldn't put too much weight on the Sun's star award.
He has a deadly strike from the corners, used to good effect last night.

I'm sure a man of the match against Wolves was a big F you to McCarthy, who couldn't get much out of him when he was there.

Im not sure why Gibson would want to give a big F you to a guy who took him on loan for half a season and played him in most of the games that got Wolves promoted

Gibson might well start against Man City tonight in the League Cup SF first leg.

**paul_oshea** · 19/01/2010, 2:32 PM

ya but he hasn't even feeatured on the bench since that defeat when ferguson said he would make immediate changes. He has not featured at all since then so ferguson obviouslly thinks or holds him somewhat responsible for that.

**The Fly** · 19/01/2010, 11:39 PM

He didn't even make the bench for the derby against Man City. He will have to knuckle down in training for Ferguson to give him another chance.
For the record - I think he has been treated somewhat harshly. However, perhaps it will prove beneficial to Gibson in the long term.

How does Anderson get a game for United. Absolutely muck every time I watch him!!! Gibson is a much better player from what I've seen them do in a Man U shirt this season.

I actually thought Gibson did ok against Leeds, there were definately lads alot worse so if he has been made the scapegoat for that game I think its very harsh. Berbatov didnt even break sweat in that game

**rambler14** · 20/01/2010, 11:29 AM

Anderson isn't related to a footballer. Another fergie flop.

Less embarassing for Ferguson to drop the player brought up through the system than some expensive and higher profile Brazilian.

It's not often that someone wins Fergie over after something like that. He's usually loyal to the core members of his squad, shown by Berba getting a slap on the knuckles and returning again.

Could be curtains for Darron, but I think his time there can only be a good thing for us. It's not like he'll be phased in bigger matches down the line, and I'd say there's going to be a queue of Premier League clubs looking to sign him.

Its actually terrible to watch Gibson being treated like that, when he didn't play that bad against Leeds. Paul Scholes has had many nightmares this season and hasn't been made a scapegoat at all. His 5 minute cameo last night was heard to watch. Every touch of the ball he gave it away.

**geysir** · 20/01/2010, 6:24 PM

I think Scholes has been in the doghouse alongside Darron since he made those mistakes in the defeat to/against Fulham.

I think thats been the dilemma for Gibson. Stick it out with Ferguson and possibly be the new 'Fletcher' type player or look for a move.

Personally i would look for the move. He's 22 and a transfer to a big championship team or a middle position Premiership team could give him the game time to prove if he's got it to make it on the bigger stage on a regular basis.

**Acornvilla** · 20/01/2010, 9:54 PM

problem is thou if he leaves 90% ofthe time you will never get back up to that level again.. i'd stay until next year and see what fergesun does with the midfield ala offloading players and whatnot

**EastTerracer** · 23/01/2010, 3:51 PM

Darron back in favour today. He replaced Scholes for the last twenty minutes and got the assist for Rooney's second goal. A couple of minutes earlier though he tried a shot from 30 yards and Rooney was not too impressed that Darron hadn't played him in.

**Noelys Guitar** · 23/01/2010, 4:07 PM

Very impressed with him today when he came on. Lovely ball to Rooney for United's second. And looked a gear above most players on the park. I can see him only getting better if he keeps this standard up.

**twoenz** · 23/01/2010, 4:44 PM

Seen he was on the bench. Any league match is good for him. Hull must hate the sight of him.

**carloz** · 23/01/2010, 8:34 PM

Maybe Fergie wanted to give him a bit of a kick up the arse over the last few weeks. He seemed a bit layed back against Fulham and Leeds, and maybe thought he had made the big time due to starting a few games in a row. Glad he got his chance again today.

**dan o d** · 26/01/2010, 8:33 AM

very impressed with him against hull. id never seen him run as much , albeit he only played the last 20 mins.
nice to see he had the confidence to ignore rooney and attempt an audacious lob of the goaly from 40 yards out(which nearly worked)- as hes always struck me as a player who has lacked confidence.
hes improving
