Can't stand all this loyal/great servant crap that gets tossed around. Yeahh, played for us for nothing he did. The most probable truth is he hasn't gained any serious interest from other clubs to test this 'loyalty.'
I like Ossie, seems a good lad but at this level he is done starting games. He was a tidy footballer at his best with some nice control and an eye for a through ball - pity he was played on the wing at the time. Now he's just a waste of a starting place.

He's just not a centre/defensive midfielder, is he? Put him in the hole just behind and he'll have a good game 7 or 8 times out of 10. Put him in the McCarthy/Barry role and he struggles.

Unfortunately for him it's obvious Barkley's the man and you can't ignore Naismith's form, so his use should be very limited IMO. He's a great player to bring on with 20 minutes left to try and slide a pass in, as he reads the game and plays through balls better than both of the aforementioned. You'll often see him come on and play a pass that's been on all game which no other player has spotted.

CBA reading 140+ pages on this subject when Azzurri has correctly summed up the manner in which Osman can still contribute.

Pos rep for you pal.

He didn't really seem to be in the match. Was like he wasn't there.

That's what some of the Burnley players thought. We can't even use the word ' brushed aside ' anymore because it doesn't do it justice. I can't honestly fathom how he still isn't aware of who is around him before he receives the ball.
 
Can't run, can only pass back (BUT HE PASSED TO BAINES FOR THE FIRST GOAL - I could've played the same ball, it's a 5 yard pass ffs) and slows the pace of attacks more than Pienaar.

I know he's a top blue, but so are a lot of people who don't get paid ridiculous amounts of money to be bad/mediocre at best at their job for the last few years.
 
Ossie ? Get a pair of these Turtlebeach headphones mate.

he actually stopped the ball to baines. if he let that run it probably would have been the same result.
 
7 weeks ago it was Distin's turn...6 weeks ago it was Howard's turn...5 weeks ago it was Jags turn...4 weeks ago it was Hibbert's...3 weeks ago it was Pienaar's turn...2 weeks ago it was Lukaku's turn...1 week ago it was McGeadys turn...this week it's Osman turn...

So who's next weeks whipping boy?
 
thouhgt he was quality. gets crap off people who dont know the game but anyone with a bit of sense can see the qualities our leon brings to the team
