I reckon osman's higher composure is more suitable for this game. Barkley is much better at forcing through teams which isn't something really needed today. Got to be brought on at half time though if Ossie puts in another laboured performance.

Stupid not resting McCarthy.

Important to get a strong foothold in the game though mate so I can understand why he's picked and why he's picked the same side. Important to pick 3 points up today and then worry about the Derby. Hopefully 3-0 after an hour and he can take McCarthy off then. Calculated risk but it shows all his focus is on this game and this game alone.

Lol at resting Barkley before an international break.

Osman, must give a superb BJ.

Stupid not resting McCarthy.

Brainless. A Moyes type of reasoning.

Martinez will get deserved stick if McCarthy is carded and misses the derby.

What's the reason for Barkley?

 

[Sensei]

Thanks for the responses wasnt aware of clock change....it'd potentially ****ed my chances of watching on my phone....however just negotiated to stay on till 6am instead of 4am so i can get that extra hour on me break

Ridiculous. Stick Osman on the bench where he plays well off an start Barkley.

Would prefer Barkley obviously but don't think it's a ridiculous decision. I think if going on latest form Mirallas was much worse than Osman last week.

I'm sure Bobert has a good reason for Barkley out and Mirallas keeping his place.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

to be fair whats the odds on palace having the ball enough that he has to dive in and get a booking

More to the point, what are the odds on him looking at the ref funny and getting booked?

My only hope is that Palace are that gash Osman has a good game but they have 11 players with 2 working legs so its unlikely.

3 points in the bag

Well he says the ones playing well will get the shirt, but you have to allow for a drop in a game or two before switching away from Barkley.

TBH, I'm seething at McCarthy's inclusion more than Osman's.

 

[Goat]

Why do Everton managers keep picking Osman?????????

 

[orchard]

Anyone watching NBC, keep a lookout for Mikey F and AB being interviewed. Link would be good too please

 

[Joey66]

Osman is a bench player now Ross looked good last week!

 

[Abandygrabay]

Stupid not resting McCarthy.

FFS we need 3 pts here

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Cant understand Osman ahead of Barkley today at all. McCarthy maybe as he doesnt need to be diving in to pick up a yellow, anything could happen ffs.
