Monreal has really made a difference to the left side Gibbs plays to many balls back and across to the centre backs he is so prone now to get injured he doesent go forward and his defending is woefull can't see him even playing for England again, don't get me wrong I do like him but his game has declined Play him
as a sub
as Monreal if one of the defenders is injured can fill in like
