Gervinho does nothing for us out wide. We need to play him up top so that he can run past defenders with his speed. Running at people he's ok, but he really hasn't shown much there, and he loses the ball all too frequently.

These past few matches have shown how important Gibbs is to us both in attack and defense. He can't come back soon enough. We need the width he provides with his overlapping runs. Santos tends to not get as wide when he goes forward. He and Poldi don't seem to have much of a connection. I also think it's highly likely Sagna or Jenkinson will start at LB versus ManU if Gibbs isn't back.

but every once in a while, if he doesn't lose the ball and/or disrupt the rhythm of the play, there's a chance he creates an opportunity for a score... just like last Saturday. But odds are, he plays around with the ball and give the defense time to get set and then loses it.
