Gibbs is defensively better which is what a left back should be good at first. But it is true the way we play we need good attacking threat too. Monreal attacking threat is on another level to Gibbs. Both will get a lot of playing time over the course of season.
Gibbs for me, the level of consistency he's shown is remarkable, if it aint broke then don't fix it. Monreal will get his chance sooner or later and he did very well yesterday and whenever he's come on off the bench this season. Lets just enjoy the fact that we have two left backs of such quality to choose from.

Not sure where all this criticism for Gibbs is coming from.
His final ball does need improving, I agree, but defensively, he has been fantastic this season: quick, strong, intelligent, and very good in the tackle.
Monreal is better in the air and has a better final ball, but he doesn't seem as quick, and looks a lot more suspect in one-on-one defensive situations than Gibbs, from what I have seen.
I really don't think Gibbs has done anything to merit being dropped.
Is this a joke?
Gibbs has been one of our best players this season
Gibbs attacking is one of the weak points of his game. He's good at getting forward and overlapping but his end product is poor. But like 50p said defending should come first for a left back and thats why gibbs should be first choice right now
People are getting carried away after yesterday's game when nacho came on.
He came on as a winger and there was lots of space for him to play in.
Gibbs has that pace which allows him to get back in time and helps going forward.
No chance in hell nacho is ahead of him
GG is a racist bigot who hates all our non-white stars.
Walcott, Gibbs....I can sense a theme here

You can probably count on one hand the number of bad games Gibbs had in the last 2 years, wtf Garwood! His crossing needs improving but his pace and stamina is amazing, he plays like a winger and rarely gets caught out defensively considering. Monreal is a good footballer and a Spain international so he's obviously a quality player but his lack of pace give Gibbs the edge.
Point is OP, you're wrong

You also don't rate Milner and Jones, Rex.
Gibbs and sagna were our best players yesterday

Not really, when you have a couple years of evidence it is quite simple conclusion to make.

Sagna is the best right back in the premier league. The quicker we get him to sign his contract the better.How this post has turned out like this is beyond belief. However I am aware that a lot of posters on her are juvenile and pathetic.So unfortunately the genuine posters on here cannot have a serious football discussion.
