Im sure most would agree that Leon Osman isnt good enough anymore, if he ever was, but we arent Roberto Martinez, its not like any of us has signed Jason Scotland.

Hahaha. Fergie signed a few stinkers, it means nothing.

Ossie is a boss little player, that's why he's played over 300 games for us. Or was the last gaffer clueless too?

This really. They're petrified of him losing the ball, and yet he's in the most harmless area of the pitch to lose it. All the other lids lost it quite a lot last night, and much closer to our goal, so I really don't see what their problem is.

It seems to me that players like Barkley get labelled with 'he can win you a game but he loses the ball alot' while players like Henderson are viewed as 'steady and wont give the ball away' regardless of whether they lose the ball or not. Confirmation bias from managers big time.

I agree with you...and it just doesn't make sense. If an attacking player is going to keep the ball they have to make sure its a 90% plus chance of success...unfortunately those unexpected chances of doing something really special always has a chance of failing...thus indirectly a chance of losing the ball. Take that away and we start restricting players to be non creative etc imo...
