Gibbs is currently the best LB and one of the top 3 in the history of the game. You are deluded if you disagree.
Come off it, Baines is twice the payer Gibbs is,and you Gunners know it.
He doesn't get called up for a friendly what is that about ? he is pretty consistent yet never gets the call. Just give the lad a chance
Why is Jenkinson not in the squad ahead of Walker and Johnson. He is easily the best RB in the league.
PS (I meant the previous friendly not these qualifiers)
Gibbs time for england will come, cole and baines are both getting on, come the 2018 world cup it will be gibbs and shaw in the england squad. If shaw lives up to his potential he will be ahead of gibbs

Thats not against gibbs thats against the england set up.
How is Gibbs consistent? He always gets injured.
Agreed, though, his time will come.

Players like Jones, Smalling, Cleverley, Welbeck and Young are in the England squad. Let that sink if for a moment.
--------------------------------------------------------
Walcott is in the squad, headless chicken. Cleverly managed to handle hazard, oscar, lampard, ramires, de bruyne. Jones and Smalling dont get ripped by agbonolahor and make silly mistakes every game like kos

what an absolute stupid comment. what you said about kos shows your absolute lack of knowledge about football.
Cant believe kos is still so underrated among opposition fans. hes one of the best in the league. ask anyone im not a bias fan
If gibbs can have a good uninjured season where he steps up his game then he may make the england squad next world cup, will take a lot though for them to get rid of cole though
Kos is the reason we got top 4 last season
Stop giving us a bad name you deluded fellows. How on earth can you say he is better than Baines or Cole?
Gibbs is a half decent player but you're deluded if you think he's better than Baines and Cole. Those two are easily the best left backs in the league.
I dont know what Kos has to do to prove himself
10/11 i admit he was iffy but otherwise hes been top class. yes hes made mistakes but you tell me one defender thats never made mistakes.
Compared to some Kos makes hardly any
The ludicrous thing is, despite having the best player for each position in world football, Arsenal haven't won anything
Absolutely crazy
no one is saying he is better than either f them, only reason i'd like to see him go instead of cole is so that we have some sort of set up for the future, baines will still play every game
I never said Gibbs is better than Cole but hes better than overrated Baines
stop being silly, baines is the best lb in the league, gibb isnt even the best lb at arsenal
Leaving arsenal would be a step in the right direction
To be honest Digby i reckon we'll be fine at left back. Baines will probably play the odd year or two after Cole retires before one of Gibbs or Shaw becomes the permanent left back. Gibbs needs to stay injury free though.
Its fine by me, we dont need him getting injured
Its great for england to be blessed with so much quality vying for the same position but did it have to be left backs?
I worry more of what happens if baines gets injured, would cole be able to handle so many games at the world cup while staying at top level?
defence should be our priority considering no ones going to be replacing calamity joe between the sticks any time soon
I've never been the type to overrate our players but those who think he's that far behind Cole and Baines obviously rarely, if ever, see him. Gibbs was our most reliable defender last season. He never gets destroyed by anyone. He's good in the air and reads one-on-one marking situations well. His link-up play and runs stretch the opposition. His weakness is his delivery when he gets into good positions and that's where Baines is much better but not Cole. I'm glad he doesn't get picked cos he's injury prone and he gets a good rest.
If only he had his qualities at RB, he'd get a better shot.
