Good to see Pienaar back.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Pienaar, Osman and Kone all playing tonight (which presumably means no Kone on Thursday which is a bit odd).

Wonder if Kone had some more trouble with his knee?

 

[sageyefc]

So osmans back

Someone sound the fume Klaxon

 

[sageyefc]

Wouldve liked to have seen Kone get a start on thursday.

Last time he spoke he said he's still no properly fit and playing in pain, given we're flogging Lukaku again you can imagine it's not in great shape.

Good to see Pienaar and Osman on playing football again though, we've badly missed them.

Pienaar yes, Osman not so sure we've badly missed him.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Pienaar yes, Osman not so sure we've badly missed him.

With Pienaar out he's the only one in the squad who offers us intelligent progressive football, without either of them you get sideways passing and toothless forward play as we've seen.

Might just to give kone playing time as o cant remember the last time he played great that osman and pienarr are back as it gives us more creative options

That's a bit rose tinted like. Osman on his day could maybe offer us that, but he's equally guilty of sideways passing and coughing the ball up in dangerous positions. Especially in a team hopelessly out of form like we've been.

@everton: 6' A lively start but no chances yet. Ledson & Osman the holding midfielders. Dowell playing just behind Kone, Pienaar on the left. #EFCU21

...I'd be surprised if he doesn't start Lukaku. I recall Kone playing for U21 (against Sunderland) and then being involved in Europa a few days later. Might have that wrong.

......RM says Pienaar and Osman are the 2 who have the ability to 'play between between the lines'. I reckon that means they find space in the area between opposition back four and midfield and make things happen.

My point is without Pienaar offering us this the next option is Osman, losing the only two players who bring this to the team has had a massive effect on how we function as a team.

Whether you rate him or not people must surely see this??

@philkecho: Ledson been #EFC best player so far. Still 0-0 here in Leigh http://t.co/8aPMlGnWOu


@everton: 24' Powell's header is cleared off the line excellently by Ledson. Great positioning by the midfielder to keep the score at 0-0. #EFCU21

It's clear to see, they've both got smart movement that gain them space and allows them to turn and face the opposition and look for the forward pass, or draw the foul.

Having one out this season has been bad because neither can now be relied upon to be last 90 minutes, having both of them out has killed our creativity altogether.
