Osman played in every single game in the first season. Flair players indeed.
Osman is a flair player tho.
Played in the hole hes a decent player, played on the wing or in midfield and hes a crime against football.

I really don't understand. The setup was atrociously negative against United, and I can't see anything different against Arsenal.

He didn't play him in the hole much.
Has anyone got stats to show he 'puts a shift in' like how many KM a game he averages compared to the rest?
@deipnosophist might have some stats on that
Not many had a good game!Naismith had an awful game last week, deservedly hooked at half time. It's only one game though, it happens. Players better than Naismith have had complete nightmare performances.
I personally think it was the 6-3 against Chelsea that changed him. We still played some good attacking football in the 2nd half of his first season.He's a negative manager nowadays, unfortunately. I reckon that 4-0 derby defeat in his first season gave him an almighty shock to the system. Problem is, he's gone too far the other way and is now constantly thinking about how to set up to stop the opposition rather than playing on the front foot and causing them problems. Naismith and Lennon playing to offer "protection" to our full backs, even though we already have two defensive midfielders on? That is such a Moyes thing to do
Trust you me, I'm very consistent in my opinion of him. He's norwich quality, deffo not Everton quality.Did you say that after the Chelsea game?
I agree he shouldn't be starting every game, but unfortunately due to injuries/suspensions we've been limited down that side. With Cleverley hopefully back fit soon, he'll likely be back to being on the bench.

Nobody posted this yet? Interview with Naismith released today:

same in the derby, played not to lose, as for the arsenal gameI really don't understand. The setup was atrociously negative against United, and I can't see anything different against Arsenal.
He's a bit of a dramatic weirdo this fella.
