Gibbs is 21 and has got more game time than Cunningham has done over the years at Arsenal. At 19 the kid will have some shit days were he cant do anything right and then some good days. But none of last nights defence had any chance of doing much as they must of only played what 10 games between them at the most for the first team.

Good enough for who and what? I went last night. He was very poor. I accept he is a young player, and of course I support City giving youth a chance, but he, Mee, Vidal, Ibrahim, Guidetti, are no better than the likes of Croft, Flood, Miller, Ethuhu etc.
Arsenal produce Gibbs. Who is about 4 leagues better than Cunningham. Add to that Wilshire, and the others. So yes, it's all well and good giving these players a chance, but they will end up with the majority of others who have come through.
Playing in the first and second division.
