*DUH DUH DUUUUUH* !
Left Back is a postition we have a wonderful dilema with.
Santos vs. Gibbs
Santos
> Attacking wise.....FxCKING QUALITY
> Defensively.....Good at one on one situations, stands his ground.
LB who can provide sheer class going forward, satisfactory defensively. Might make Song's job harder as he's got to cover for young Carlly & Santos...
Gibbs
> Attacking Wise.... Good, crosses are normally accurate, loves to overlap his AML, and provide passing options near to the corner flag, Santos differs as he looks like he wants to cut in a central position for a shot / killer pass.
> Defensively....Decent.
Gibbs & Santos both started as attacking left sided players, and it shows more in gibbs, as he lets the oppostion run past him as if someone is behind him to sweep up, then he realises no ones there, he then slides acrobaticly & dangerously. This works against your average joe, use the same tactic vs. Nani and Co. ?
We're Effed.
SUMMARY
Santo's is more than an adequate cover / rotational player for Gibbs, and vise versa.
Santos / Gibbs can be played late on to play AML.
Santos and Gibbs are similar
Santos is 28.
Gibbs is 21.
Gibbs is going to be quite something. Santos will push him to work harder and improve defensively.
Nice work Arsene.

I personally rate Santos higher than Gibbs, especially defensively (surprisingly). However, Gibbs has improved quite a lot since the beginning of the season and I hope he can stay injury-free for some months and keep improving.

What's the news on Gibbs' injury? Saw him come off, but don't know what the injury was or how soon to expect him back.
