I think thats a little unfair, hes playing in a five man midfield today and been asked to play a more attack minded role which seems to suit him. The other night he was partnering Andrews in what was largely a defensive CM role.

Fair enough. Good game so far. Plenty of Irish lads to keep the interest.
yeah, excellent game. Doyle, Foley and Ward have all been very good so far. Wardy should have scored there though!! How he wasnt in the Irish squad is beyond me, any game ive seen he has acquitted himself very well (except when harshly sent off against Liverpool).
Didn't see the game, but I see that Gibson was subbed. Was it tactical, injury or performance related?
Was taken off purely because Berbatov is a lazy b0llocks. I've seen trees move more than him and as a result United had no choice but to go 4-4-2 and bring on Mame Biram Diouf.
I thought Gibson played well for the time he was on.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Gibson was ok, no more no less, certainly did as much as the likes of Carrick. United looked average overall without Rooney.
I thought he played OK but it was obvious that he'd be the first player to be sacrificed if United still hadn't scored with an hour to go. He was sort of an extra man in midfield for a lot of the game since the Wolves midfielders weren't exactly bossing things.
The Guardian said this about Gibson:
Sounds a bit harsh to me since he is still so young and hasn't gotten much football.A second United substitution: Mame Biram Diouf replaces Darron Gibson, so that'll be a switch to 4-4-2. Gibson played one excellent pass to Evra but he is punching hopelessly above his weight playing for Manchester United. He's not the first, and he won't be the last.
Unfortunately to date I feel the piece by the Guardian is right. Bar a few fantastic strikes and the odd decent game (away to Hull last year), Gibson has shown very little for united and even less so for Ireland for me to think he will be a top level player for years to come. I hope im wrong and would hope he will develop something akin to Fletcher who was written off by many.
6 out of 10 performance. Carrick lite performance.
Doyle was quality. Worked like a mad man but needed a bit more help.
That's just a little bit too easy! Gibson was taken off becuase he was poor and United needed to score. He was no worse than most of the other United players but unfortunately he has far more to prove than them.
Carrick was Carrick-lite. Gibson was what Carrick is usually like - i.e a bit aimless but with some moments of quality.
Spot on..
Came on for United today for the last 10 minutes or so and scored with almost his first touch. A good finish with his right foot.

I cant wait to see how good he is when he gets a little older.

Good power from a side foot shot.
I hope he stays at Utd and continues to develope. Fletcher got a lot of stick in his early days at Utd but has developed into a very good player for them.
gibson reminds me of lauren robert.. does feck all but has a hell of a shot
saw the goal last night on Match of the Day 2, what was more interesting to me was that, in the build up to the goal, he was in space and demanding the ball from Nani, which is something he needs to do more as a central midfielder.
Interesting that he was brought on for a vital game with Chelsea. Has he gone up the order?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
