I am looking forward to see if Gamboa is as good as I think he is, assuming he will start against Liverpool.  He certainly has the potential to excite and should be fully fit by now and have more of a familiarity with the rest of the squad.

Here here!
I'm sure he CAN'T be as good as I think he is though - but if he's only half of that then that'll be fantastic!

Tactically, I suppose he'd be classed as more of a wing back than a full back - would this mean we'd play with 3 across the back and Gamboa would be in front of them? Would this then mean that we'd be changing formation - cos I can't see AI doing that ATM??  

.....on 2nd thoughts though, wouldn't it be good to change line ups and confuse the enemy a tad??

If Gamboa comes into the side, it will be as a normal right back which is what his main position is. He has always been a right back in club football. It is only for Costa Rica where he is used as a wing back and even with them, they haven't always been a team playing with 3 centre halves and 2 wing backs. Their current coach interchanges between the back 3 with wing backs and a normal back 4. The coach before him did the same as well.

I think if he is brought into the side, he will definitely cause Liverpool problems especially if they play a narrow diamond. It could end up being a very interesting battle for attacking supremacy between Gamboa and Alberto Moreno.

....yay - I was fishing for a Josh tactical post!!
I really hope that Gamboa gets a start sooner rather than later - IMO he's got more about his game than Wisdom, although TBF I've not seen him (Norman) enough to really say that! I just think that Gamboa has that spark, that energy, that desire to take the initiative, to set the team and the crowd alight, and you hardly ever get that sense of excitement from a defender!!
