ive seen him in a few games, and hes not the answer. when you are use to watching Baines down the left and then u see Oviedo, im sure most blues will think the same.
He had a perfect chance to play more when Pienaar was out as well
LM and LB are both options for him

he did against stevenage didnt he? where i sit, i get to watch Baines and Coleman close up. they are both class.
Baines and Coleman are both great
But Oviedo has lots of potential and it's disturbing that so many people have written him off when he's essentially not had a chance to do anything
This is his chance now to show what he can do
We're far too knee-jerk at this club, to our own detriment
Building up his body strength mate
Working on his stamina
he's just not good enough now. he might have potential. but Stoke at home and Man Utd and Arsenal away are not the right time to give him a chance.

Definitely deserves a chance IMO. If he doesn't play when baines is out we should really move him on and stop wasting his time.

Exactly. Moving Barry out of the midfield sped us up in attack as well tbh.
I would like to hear something from RM about Oviedo. It is a concern that he hasn't featured in the team or on the bench for league this season when we are all aware that the risk of Baines leaving in January or the summer is very high.
There are two possible explanations that I can think of :
1. Oviedo is not considered premiership material by the staff at Everton.
2. Oviedo is considered too lightweight for the first team at present and is currently on a weights programme to build up muscle.

Oviedo has been on the bench a couple of times and played in the game at West Ham
It says on the official site that Oviedo has been used once as a sub this season.That to me is not being involved.
RM is particularly good at talking up our young players Coleman,Barkley,Delofeu and Stones get a lot of praise but there has been no mention of Oviedo who is still a very young player.
I hope it is a case of waiting for the right time,but it does not look good for him.

He was on the bench at Villa as well, If I recall correctly
I would have preferred him in LM with Mirallas at RM rather than having Naismith in the RM position

Mikey, he's not even not played yet. Lets just wait and see before getting stuffy about it.

If Oviedo isn't going to get a run even when Baines is injured then why is he here? Either give him a proper chance or let him leave.
I've been made up with how Martinez has generally avoided the false economy that is picking older players out of position rather than putting faith in a younger lad, and I really hope it isn't something he starts doing now.
Reserve team football is no good for someone of Oviedo's age, and I think it's one of the reasons he's looked off the pace at times, especially when picked in defence. Coleman and Baines are great examples of why it's wrong to write-off a developing full-back before he's had the opportunity to adjust to the pace and quality of Premier League attackers.
