Leon Osman

[The Buck]

Good team performance today, even from Ossie. We beat a very good Chelsea today. Enjoy it!

Utter, utter drivel. He touched the ball FOUR times in the second half. McCarthy had more influence on the second half than Osman. If Barry, Gibbo and McCarthy are all fit Osman is a sub.

Better pass completion and higher rate of success than Barry.

Figure that out smart arse

Osman looks like a league one squad player. End debate.

Seems most posters here aren't actually interested in "debate" or "discussion". Just parrot the same lines over and over, regardless of the player's actual performance.

If you think his performance was that of a League 1 player, you don't watch much footie at all. "End debate".

What!? Am not a massive fan if osman if am honest but to say that in the second half he never played really well your just seeing what you want to see. Boy played well, got some integral interseptions and cleared the ball well.

Ffs can't even win without the lad getting crap.

 

[Furey1878]

He got caught out a few times, played 2 suicide balls. But other than that he had a good game, got stuck in, looked tricky in the final third.

Barry though.

Osman had a good game today, after a slow start.

 

[Moomin]

Poor first half but he came out strong in the second half and kept his head up.

 

[HighFlyer]

I thought Osman did ok today. Did keep the ball for too long at times though in my opinion.

 

[Baines' left foot]

He tries to run/dribble his way out of trouble too often I think, and he's a bit slower off the mark than he used to be, always makes me nervous. I know Barkley does it too but he's a lot younger and less experienced.

 

[mightymoyes]

he improved in the 2nd half but that wouldnt have been hard, he was brutal in the 1st half.

 

[Christiffa25]

He grew into the match and got better, he did enough and at the end of the day was part of a team that did very well beating and keeping at bay what is a very very good Chelsea side.

It's clear he's probably behind Barry Gibson and once settled Mcarthy for a CM role, so give the lad a break as a 4th choice that's not a bad 4th choice to have!

 

[Chang Elephant]

England internationl, Osman, tore Chelsea apart in the second half, and it was easy to see why so many clubs tried to tempt Bill to sell with massive offers in the summer.

He did a bit.

And that's where I'd leave it.

Great lad, reat Evertonian , BUT I'm afraid his legs have gone

 

[Brennan]

Hope Martinez has the balls to do the right thing and drop him to the bench where he belongs. Invited so much pressure from Chelsea with his idiotic passing and general decision making while adding practically zero going forward.
