Luke Garbutt

slimspek · February 27, 2015

He's fantastic and he has that playmaking ability. For me Oveido is more like Coleman, more of an aggressive box-to-box player and less a creative force. We need more creativity in this side so my vote goes to Garbutt if it comes down to it.

he has no fear which is great to see. he's done more attacking tonight than hibbert's done in his whole career.

got a mean delivery on him, oviedo is still ahead of him for me, i'd love to see oviedo moved as a backup right back and fill that gap as well as rotation in the wings. give him enough game time to be able to have garbutt concentrate on LB rotation with baines. have to do well in cups and regularly qualify for europe to give him enough games for rotation like.

I know Oviedo is used mostly as a LB, but he's capable as a RB. NO idea why they never used this more and got BOTH more gametime ffs.

Still at that stage where he's got a lot of adrenalin buzz...don't get ahead of yourself, kid. Being a match-to-match starter is no joke.

like for like backup for coleman ... so he plays hibbert.

...actually, i think oviedo may have still been injured at the time.

Why haven't we offered him a million year contract, captaincy and two tickets to see blood brothers yet?

Balls in his court now over the contract.

Should give the contract to a young fan to go ask him for his signature, get him to sign it and trick him into a 5 year contract

Luke Shaw...pffffffft

I like him. He's a player.

Hopefully he'll sign that contract.

Just about to post the same after watching the highlights of the match on the website. Give him more game time I say.

Composed and with a wand of a left foot, hopefully he sticks around.

Baines to midfield, Oviedo a backup LB/winger. Garbutt starting LB. Barry out.

Agreed.Give the boy some games . Nothing to lose. Playing 3rd fiddle isn't good for anyone.

Not happening really is it?

Played well today, but honestly who didn't? Gibson looked like Iniesta today and while I would love for him to keep up that level of play, we know it won't happen.

Its tough having 3 genuinely quality left backs, the thought of parting with any of them is upsetting.

Why the shot at Gibson mate...he was IMMENSE again for us. We'd have lost the game vs Leicester had he not come on and he played great today. He clearly has something we've been missing....that cutting edge.
