Leon Osman

[rizzoaus]

Looked better after McCarthy came on and he was able to push higher up the pitch. I must admit I crap my pants when he is playing deep in defence. Gets bypassed too easy.

I just watched the highlights again - Osman was involved in almost everything going forward first half - as was Naismith.

Experienced squad player does his job and helps us overturn a very good Chelsea side.
How can anyone still say that Ossie doesn't have a big role to play this season?

Remind me how many times Moyes managed to beat Mourinho?

This. It's not the lads fault he's got no pace, its just the way it is. There's a couple of players infront of him now for that CM role, he's backup. He'll do a fine job over the cause of a season as a experienced squad player.

He walks into trouble, literally walks into it. Needs to be dropped for McCarthy at West Ham next week (Who i thought helped us get back into it when he came on)

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".

Is right mate.

Ossie had a decent game yesterday, linked well with Barry & played his part in a great win by the team, anyone who wants to **** him off after that game is a bulb.

I can see Chelsea or City bidding late 30's in January. He's that crucial to our title hopes.

Coleman, mirallas or Delefuoe had put the cross in to jelavic for the goal and they would be lorded for a fantastic vision and ability to pick him out at the back post. Osman does it and its not mentioned once!

I'm just happy that Osman now got competition and will have to fight for his place now, he wont be carried by Moyes anymore.

Martinez:

I thought Barry and Osman were magnificent

obviously the haters know something he doesn't.

Magnificent is clearly an understatement by Martinez. Probably the best one off performance ever by a footballer yesterday.

 

[Walken]

Barry was magnificent, Osman was better but still spews up possession to much and doesn't cover enough ground

...I like Ossie.

I like toast. That said I'm under no illusions as to it's rightful place at breakfast.

Martinez:

What else was he going to say when a new look CM pair who've probably trained together a few times at best beat the faves for the league. Hardly going to slate people after a win.

He's played every minute of every competitive game we've had under Martinez like. Despite being the worst player on the pitch in all of them.

I'm not sure where you got this idea that he's no longer enjoying an easy ride from.
