Put that prawn sandwich down, Gibson is a good player and is a useful player - Fletcher like.
It's Berbatov who is abysmal, I've said it from day one when he signed for United, has an appauling work rate.
Naylor and Kisnorbo for Leeds were trojans, top marks for their efforts! Leeds have a far better defence than most bottom half Premiership teams.
Gibson will never be anywhere near as good as Fletcher. He is 22 and looks no where near good enough. No pace, doesn't seem to want to run with the ball hasn't got a good range of passing and offers very little defensively.
As for Berbatov, to call him abysmal is ignorant. I think his problem is 1, not quite being the player United fans thought they were getting, ie an out and out front man who'd allow Rooney to play his natural game and 2, he doesn't seem suited to our style of play. He always wants an extra touch on the ball which tends to then slow us down. He wasn't the problem today though the midfield was.
