but we dont need any help going forward, and to be lacking defensively cripples us even more in our weakest area. just doesnt really make sense to start him. especially during such a crucial year. if gibbs starts i can promise that we will leak so many attacks and eventually goals down his flank it will be embarrassing

i think we need attacking full back because when lower league teams are defending against arsenal we need extra bodies inside the opposition half and attacking full backs would confuse the defenders and help opening up small spaces. Most big clubs have both attacking fullbacks regularly making runs in the box.

I always like to see young players getting their chances.. But still i dont trust Gibbs and dont want to see him as the first choice at LB..

Feels like yesterday when he started against Ronaldo in the CL back in 2008. nearly a decade now.

Been a good servant to the club.

Looks like he is gone soon.

This whole thread sum up his career at Arsenal, lenear very 1st post was he's not good enough to be in starting 11 and 6 years later, nothing changes.

If Ashley Cole was Coca Cola, then Gibbs would be like those diet Coke with out the caffeine.

Oh how insightful. Dear past me, its 2017 and I still don't think gibbs has any caffeine in him. Sell this imitation. Ashley Cola wannabe ALREADY Laughing
