Leon Osman

This thread is why our fans don't deserve nice things.

Sorry macca, Could you enlighten me ?? I'm not sure if your agreeing or not. Is this hatred all from the book or am I missing the bigger picture here. Osman was from a time where ANY flair in an Everton team should have been appreciated...lets be honest if it wasnt Os, Arteta or Pienaar..it didnt exsist. I'm not directly from Liverpool so I really don't get or understand the hatred of a player who would harp on about a manager who gave him his best chance on a football stage...pretty sure all people would thank the person who gave them that....surely ??

Fully agree with you mate.

I've read that a few times and I am still not sure whats going on here

 

[MikeH72]

He was more than a decent player....about 4 times a season. The rest of the time he was invisible and well below standard.

This is correct.

 

[McMagic]

He wasn't good enough for the 60s or 80s, but neither were Pienaar nor Arteta, he never had the middle name Judas either!

This divvy on Football Focus now.

Who chooses a thick get like him to pontificate on anything?

..tremendous little footballer was Leon Osman. I'll always stick up for him, I enjoyed watching him play footy.

He summed up that period. An average footballer who became a mainstay.

Horrible little GRASS

Me too mate,technically he was as gifted as they come,had an eye for a pass,great feet,scored some crackers for us,just fell short height/strength,pace wise but you can hardly blame him for that
