Leon Osman

[RFUS]

Very true but all good things come to an end eventually.

In Everton's case that end is usually 18-24 months later than it should be!

Yes, we seem to hang on in there.

Has been a great servant.....as in dressing room S&M slave/gimp type servant

I actually think he played well tonight.

But I also think, despite injuries, starting Leon Osman at his age in arguably our biggest game for four years is a worry.

 

[Walken]

appalling as always, lazily followed Fernandino for the first goal, shouldn't have been in the team

 

[SteRobbo84]

Watching him toddle around like an arthritic tortoise takes years off my life

 

[Azzurri]

I personally think he kept the ball, defended quite well when he needed to and linked Baines and Barkley nicely.

I'm yet to see the Fernandinho goal again though, was it that bad @Walken?

Yeah i thought he was OK, and in the last game against City, am sure if Besic was fit we might not have seen him but either way didn't let us down.

Same here, I thought he did a lot of good things tonight and looked like he was arsed.
If he was at fault tracking back for their first goal then he's not the only one to have been at fault in that way this season.

Some people seem to make their minds up how good / poor someone's going to be before a ball's been kicked and can't remove the blinkers.

It does say something about our squad though.

It was cowardly move by martinez playing him tonight. If he was asked why, he'd spout the 'experience' line like he does with Howard (The only experience he has is losing big games). When a man looks like hes blowing out of his backside after 15 minutes he should be done with football let alone Premier League. I really honestly can't see at all what he brings to the team. Whatever creativity he had years ago has gone, as he can not keep up with the play. Seriously slows down every single attack we have.

I thought the days of Leon Osman and Tony Hibbert playing were well gone...obviously not.

Up there with starting Gueye in the FA Cup Semi Final. He had no use being on the pitch.

Worse than leaving Stones on the bench and playing Alcaraz against Kiev?
