I thought his goal last night was pretty good. Reading the paper you would think it was all down to Gabbidon/Green messing up, but Yak put them under pressure and forced the mistake.

Want to see it again, Danny post this earlier!
West Ham vs Everton goals from Osman and Yakubu

i was reading a selection of reports on the net. i like to hop from paper to paper after a good win.
and i hate to admit it, but newsnow directed me to the mirror report.
i've never read so much manure for quite some time. osmans goal deflected? really? news to me.
you can imagine how the rest of the report was written... needless to say shameless london bias.
a reminder to any of you here who are tempted... don't read the mirror! it's crap!
cheers. i set the alarm for 4:45 a.m as it was on live here. good to see the goals again... i might head over to the o/s and watch the highlights. funny how you never get bored of watching replays of the blues when we win!
Obviously Yakubu has rightly been gaining plaudits for his goals recently but Osman bagged his 5th goal of the season last night as well to move up to 3rd in our goal scorers list alongside Lescott. Indeed Yakubu is the only member of the top 4 that plays in attack, a great sign of the whole team contributing goals.
Thus far we've scored 43 goals in all competitions (pretty bloody good for this time of year - Man City have just 23 in all comps!)
Of those:
49% were scored by strikers
37% by midfielders
and 14% by Joleon Lescott.
Also of interest, is that Yak has 23% of our total goals.
This compares favourably with all the leading teams who get a lot of goals from midfield, from the likes of Ronaldo, Fabregas, Lampard and Gerrard.
If you compare it with our peers, Portsmouth have 31 goals, of which 55% by strikers, 25% by midfielders and 19% by defenders.
