Gibson needs the treatment...

Michael Kenrick , 2 April, 49comments | Jump to most recent

David Moyes has been talking about the acquisition of Darron Gibson, who seems to have revitalized the Everton midfield in his 10 games so far — none of which have been lost.

?I have always liked Darron Gibson and always thought there was something there. I have always liked his style. I thought there was something there against West Brom when he did well. There were some good signs.

?However I think it is going to take time and I need to get him out of his own comfort zone. I think there is more to come.

?I think there will be a better player with regular games and I think he probably needs a wee bit of ?the treatment' as well.

?But I think he passed the ball well for us. We know he has a great shot with both feet.

?So there is a bit more to come from him.?

When asked on what exactly ?the treatment' means, the Scot replied: ?Well, he will need to get whipped a couple of times.

?I am sure he has had that with his previous manager as well. I think he is doing really well and he will improve the longer he is with us and gets to work with me.

?In his own way we will try and everything he does is a little bit safe at the moment and we will try to get him to be a bit braver in a lot of the things he does.?
