Bjelica plans to use Gosens in attack: "We have a striker at the far post."

"A switch to a back-four can place Roussillon at left back while Robin plays left forward," Bjelica said at his press conference yesterday, "Robin likes to enter the 18 and can be very dangerous. Whenever we attack up the right-hand-side, we always have a striker at the far post. His name is Robin."
For now, Roussillon is slated for a like-for-like deployment in Bjelica's current 3-5-2 variant. Gosens was last used as a straight left attacking flanker in Union's match-day 14 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. The 20-times-capped German international did not get his name on the scoresheet in that win, but was generally regarded to have played well. Gosens picked up a goal and an assist in last Saturday's draw.
