Prove me wrong Osman ffs

Suddenly don't feel confident

 

[Blueblooded]

Possible 2nd after 10 games in the league, imagine that under Moyes

Match of the Day ‏@BBCMOTD 3m
Did you know Tottenham are yet to concede a goal to a non-London side in the Premier League this season? #MOTD

absolutely meaningless but still enough to convince me that this isn't going to end well

And we were unbeaten until we went to the Etihad - means nothing.

As for the meeja, they can do one. Over-praising the sh!te all season, can't even be bothered to acknowledge our chances of top 4 let alone give us credit for how we will influence the top end of the table.

Not surprised by Osman in for Barkley, just disappointed.

 

[toffeejack]

wahoo, i'm physio again.

reckon barkley and delafoof could provide something from the bench.

i'm okay with ossie playing behind the striker, him rotating with barkley for that position all season is fine by me. if barkley hadn't have been rested for 2 years, his fitness may have been enough to deal with the demands of a whole season this season - sigh

Step up Ossie lad, boss last week.

COYB!

 

[toffeejack]

got more 1-11 numbers on the bench than in the first team ffs

This is run of the mill?

10th game of the season so not usually considered as massively important in the scheme of things, this is what I meant.

This could be as important and vital as an early November league game could get for us.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Absolutely gutted at Osman starting over Barkley. One half hour cameo in about 18 months and suddenly he's flavour of the month again? Get him on the bench ffs.

 

[bluelife]

I'd much prefer Barkley to be getting at Spurs and helping out in midfield than Osman, who couldn't get dispossessed more if Derek Acorah was around

 

[Furey1878]

Ossie came on and changed the game for us last week.

Personally I would have subbed him on for Barkley again this week, but full credit to Martinez. Picking players on form, how it should be.

 

[bluelife]

Look at Spurs' subs

Are you taking the piss with the bit about form? Before last week Osman had started every single league game this season - and been the worst player on the pitch in each and every single game. Form? Pmsl

One good 30 mins off the bench doesn't make you 'on form'

Barkley to be on at start of 2nd half please (unless Ossie scores / lays on a hat-trick). Even if he does, he won't be much cop after the hour mark IMHO.
