his best attribute for me (along with rodwell) has to be composure.
i remember this summer someone had started a thread about how our youngsters would need to carry the team in the absence of new signings, and someone else mentioned how the youths would melt in front of the goal in a big game, no matter how skilled they are.
gosling has to be one of the most confident players we have, he takes his chances outside the box which noone else on our team really does. to have the composure to finish that ball against liverpool, in a cup game in the 118th minute is just immense, and its absurd to think that he's only a couple months older than me!
he isn't the fastest player at the moment, but he can get faster, i think he has great positioning on and off the ball, he looks a bit sporadic on defense at times but comes up with big steals to make up for it. overall he seems to have a good footballers head, there are times where i've seen our players swing the ball around predictably, but similar to baines he seems to have fresh ideas.
i wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see him turn into a first team regular next season, we'll have to wait and see though
