Gosling Impressive?

GhostOfDixie · January 25, 2009

I was impressed with what I saw. Had some nice touches, and he's still only 18!

Would like him to start instead of Anichebe in future. Better quality on the ball.

I like Gosling, think he's a terrific prospect for the future. He'll become an important player to Everton, if he keeps developing like this. Certainly rate him more than Anichebe.

He's about to turn 19, so he's old enough to be starting really. Rodwell on the other hand needs more time, a loan move would be good for him.

Seamus Colemole · January 25, 2009

Yeah he looked ok in the short time he had.

Just like his previous appearances he seems like the kind of play who likes to run at defences with the ball using a bit of speed and skill, something we sorely lacked for a while.

Guess Moyes is still bedding him in slowly.

He looks like a good winger (even though he's a RB aint he?), very talanted.

But Anichebe is a monster, can be a big presence and powers defenders. Gosling offers something different which is good.

He's officially a Right Midfielder I believe, not a winger, but a midfielder.

Anichebe always loses the ball when he goes forward - he has no skills in holding the ball.

In my mind he starts next year.

Thought he looked very shaky when he came on, give the ball away alot and nowhere near as good as his last appearence

May have to be this year at this rate.

I thought the lad had some nice touches for the while he was on, would rate him above Anichebe I think, Rodwell probably needs a bit more time but definitely two very good prospects there.

Everyone gave the ball away, it was a poor performance in midfield. I didn't think Gosling stood out to be honest although I do think he's going to be a decent player.

But this thread is about Gosling not everyone else

Which is why I mentioned him.

Really? Thing is when you have no striker to play the ball to, or nobody in midfield who is up for a pass, then it tends to end up with the ball being lost.

I thought he showed an attacking mind, and I loved his Ronaldo-esque flick inside.

As i've spoken on numerous occasions his off the ball positioning is way ahead of most of our seasoned team mates. A good run in the team and most will be singing the praises of this lad. He is being brought up the right way.
