In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He isn't as good as any other midfielder that has played for us this season but he isn't that crap at all, could probably handle the business at some PL sides including Birmingham.
Not sure about Gibson on the right, the rest is just about right.
Definately a case of 4-3-3
The fog:

The bright light is possibly Mame Diouf's angelic hands reaching down to cleanse the fog.
feck that looks bad , lets hope it gets no worse.
Cant play if you cant see the ball and players to pass to
Gibson actually has, by far - the best goals pr game ratio of all our midfielders.
Hahaha you're having a laugh right? Gibson is scapegoat of the night already, regardless of how he plays.
Has back five been confirmed...
Going to guess a bench of:
Kuszczak, J. Evans, Neville, Fletcher, Bébé, Obertan, Hernandez.
Nev Evans Macheda Obertan PIG Fletcher is our bench according to Hibbs. Instantly wrong in that thats only six. I'd assume Hernandez is there too
Gutted about Nani.
So no:
Nani
Valencia
Park
Scholes
Owen
O'Shea
Brown
Smalling
Hargreaves
For one reason or another.
A shame that Nani is getting injured right in time for the busy christmas period with Park off to Asia.
We should have played hardball with South Korea just like Moyes are with Australia reg. Cahill.

I don't mind Gibson central but if were playing him on the right of s 442 I'm not that happy about it.
Obertan should be given a run of games.
I like Gibson, I think he's a good player. I don't mind him playing if we're a 4-3-3 formation, but if it's 4-4-2 I'd just rather see a more natural winger on the right, but we shall wait and see.
He has a good shot on him, I've said before if he got a chance to play in most games then he'd probably get a decent amount of goals in a season.

We could have really done with Nani tonight. It could be tight and a moment of inspiration could make the difference.
Well said.
This fog has me worried.
Some of those reasons might just be that there are only seven spots on the bench.
I agree that he could have been selected tonight, if fit. Slightly worried about the lack of width in this side.
Dont see that, very un-ferguson like to play with no width like that, not in his nature.
Its either a 4-4-2 or more likely a 4-3-3.
Yep, same. Think he's decent in the middle. On the wing, I'd rather we play someone with more pace. But it might just turn out to be a 4-4-3, in which case, I think he can do the business.
I quite like Gibson. Think a lot of the criticism is unjustified. A lot of great players started with similar reactions from United "fans" and went on to become great.
You all know the names on that list.

I wouldn't worry mate, that picture could just be a case of the camera catching the floodlights at the wrong angle...
If we play 4-3-3 then I can understand Gibson starting, but if it is a 4-4-2 then Obertan should've been chosen ahead of Gibson imo. Good team overall.
Brummie galacticos eleven?
I feel for Gibson if he's playing on the right. Certainly not his position. Maybe Fergie is intending to use his energy to mimic Park's play.
Still enough on that 11 to see off Brum. Rooney to score.

Has either of Anderson or Gibson ever played well when they're both starting?
Micheal Owen was the only one available on that list though.
They've played together lots of times in the Carling Cup and FA Cup.
I pray to god we dont actually move Anderson wide for this, hes built up such form in the middle we surely wouldn't mess with that, plus hes wank out wide.
Some good competition displays ... Wolfsburg, Scunthorpe games for example.
Whinge, whinge, whinge. There's always a group of people in the matchday thread that will find something to complain about. As if you fecking dipshits know better than Ferguson.
Gibson on the right is fine. It's Birmingham, not Arsenal or Chelsea. We'll win 2-0.

For the record, Gibbo has played the right wing role a fair few times when out on loan, so it's not an alien position to him.
I'm expecting a real tough game tonight - disjointed and low tempo stuff. They're a fecking awful side to play.

Last season's 4-0 win away at West Ham?
Better than Carrick or Berbatov there.
Well err yeah, but seeing as neither have or ever will play there your point is???
