Leon Osman

Walken · January 7, 2016

crap as always, I'd forgotten how bad he was, nearly got baines injured with his cowardly passing

Azzurri · January 7, 2016

I wasn't happy when he came on but he challenged a few headers well, made a couple of solid challenges and kept hold soundly for the most part.

Did nearly kill Baines, though.

OK I suppose. Why not Lennon though?

I did wonder that myself at the time, expect Lennon to start on Saturday.

I groaned when he came on but he got stuck on and kept the ball. He did well.

Solid performance.

Did a particularly nice move when he got passes the ball in a tricky positions in our box, turned away under pressure from a couple of their players and then fed it calmly to Baines.

Mostly decent although almost the definition of a hospital pass to Baines.

To my surprise, he was actually very good and what we needed. Great sub from Martinez.

It was a good sub as if Cleverly had to come off this move didn't change the set up too much.

He left baines so open it was frightening. It's as if hes running through mud when he moves. He shouldn't be used in any games other than like the game on Saturday.

No Howard today, so someone had to get some abuse, I guess. Osman's next on the fuming pecking order, right?

Osman to score the winner in the cup vs the red [Poor language removed]

Only proper this.

And rightfully so. Down to 10 men for the last quarter-hour...Did he give the extra 10%?

No. He gave 10% less (Yes, he made 10% less than sod-all appear possible)

I don't get what some of you are saying you seen last night to say he 'did well'. He was his usual anonymous self.

I thought he was alright when he came on to be fair.

Any alright I mean did nothing spectacularly wrong. Nothing overly impressive either of course but he was the very epitome of ok.
