Personally never doubted his ability but the fact is he is the least likely of all our players to be able to play 10 matches in a few months without breaking down for ages. Sad but true. Just wish we could keep him fit as he is a bloody good player.

Spot on.

Excellent display from Gibbo tonight; the one touch pass to release Garbutt down the left in the buildup to Lukaku's second was a thing of beauty. The big question is not his footballing talent, but his ability to stay fit. He needs to give us ten more starts this season before I'd even consider changing my mind on that point.
 
He was written off on here and I still I have doubts over his fitness (different to his injuries) but he showed last night the creative aspect we have been missing from our midfield. I don't think I've ever seen Barkley play a through ball.

In all fairness have you ever seen Gibson run past six players and slot the ball? Different players completely.

Gibson was outstanding last night, wish he wasn't such a sick note.

Nah, not for me mate. Barry and McCarthy are showing how effective their partnership is again. Depends on the opposition but at home against west broms etc I'd go

McCarthy Barry
Gibson
Lennon/Kev Lukaku Naismith

Against top sides at home who will come at us:

McCarthy Barry
Barkley
Lennon/Kev Lukaku Naismith

Hes got a big part to play has Gibson, fitness and provided, but he isn't the solution to all of our problems. He is a different option though and should be used intelligently by the manager depending on the type of game.

Stop shoehorning Naismith on the wing!! He's not good enough to play there!! Not technical enough and can't pass properly

Take it your forgetting the exact same ball he played in the first young boys game!!

Think we're playing the wrong formation tbh. Especially at home in the PL we should play 1 holding midfielder. Long term I'd say McCarthy. Then barkley and gibson the CM's infront.
