    I agree with everything you've said on this page, but I just didn't want to multiquote everything. I think Tash is overly harsh on Gosling, he's had few chances since returning from injury, and I've thought he's done a decent job under the circumstances. His work rate is good, seems a decent athlete, and seems to find to have an opportunistic eye in the box. I don't know whether I want him in for Obertan or not? I'll trust in Pardew, but I know (like you) I haven't seen anything to suggest he should play in a MORE defensive role.

    I want Gosling to have his chance, and I like the way he gets into the box and looks like scoring, but I wouldn't play him on the wing. Only as a CM.

    I'll just jump on the supporters coach at SJP and let the driver worry about how we approach Carrow Road.

    Wingers dont need pace, you can just be a right sided midfielder with a good cross and work rate (Barton). We've already got pace covered in abundance with Obertan.

    I agree, which Is why I think Raylor could be a good player on that side, as he is a better crosser than anyone on the team.

    I've not seen him cross a ball, can someone find me a video of him doing so?

    Btw, when you say we've already got pace covered with Obertan... aye... and? Haha, that;s why I think he should be on the wing instead of Gosling.

    What happens when he plays a quick full back? Need a tactical plan B.

    I'm talking about against Norwich though.... Norwich don't have any quick fullbacks.

    And Obertan doesn't get owned by every quick fullback. He got destroyed by Cole, but Cole is arguably the best LB in the league.

    Play Ober RM for the next IMO but I can understand why people are frustrated with him.

    I'm not slating Obertan, just saying top sides like we're aspiring to be have more than just one option out wide. Aside from anything else, he has no real competition.

    Even with Perch and whoever we can still win this game. I was a bit negative about our chances, however we still have a better side than they, do simple as that.

    Tash. The word is defence. Defense is some horrible Americanism. Cheers
