nice goal, why does Osman start again?

pommie · April 25, 2009

think its time for him to have a starting role in the team for a few week... cahill ,fellaini and hibbo have been rested time for ossie rest

Good for the young lad to score another goal.

God know why Osman has to start again, if it to rest and so some experiment I rather Moyes give Gosling another start.

Because Moyes bums him. Fair enough to start Osman - but after a shocking first half, why wasnt he subbed?

Good question, too bad even if you are a reporter in the press who ask him this question, I doubt he would give you an answer.

Honestly Osman has been so inconsistent this season,like having a good game then a bad one comes next, but still Moyes don't take him off?

Ossie should've been benched for the Chelsea game and this.

I'd rather play with 10 men to be honest, neither Gosling or Osman offer much out there.

I'd rather play Rodwell out there.

Anyone got a link to the goal?

Moyse has his favourite players. Even when some one is playing badly he will continue to play them until they get back to being good or consistant again. Osman to me is the exception. He can play fantastic against poorer team and becomes anonymous against the bigger teams..its one thing to run your socks off its another to actually do something with the ball against the big teams. Consistancy is a tough word to use around little Ossie for sure.

To be fair to Osman he is not and never has been a right midfielder. Everyone knows that, your not going to get consistent performances from him out there.

The problem is we don't have an able replacement, Gosling certainly isn't. That's one thing I know.

That was what I was thinking when I wrote the piece, who would be able to replace him at the moment? not cahill, not gosling infact I don't know anyone at the club that could right now, but in the transfer window it needs addressing. Keep Ossie as a squad player, so we can use him against the likes of wigan but we do need a better, tougher skillful player than our little ossie. haha

I cant say I have ever been a real fan of him. He does go missing an aweful lot, and he does tend to be blown over by the wind too. I just do not think he looks like a premier league player to me. The fact he can do brillantly against the weaker teams suggests to me he would be fantastic in the championship, maybe with derby? I dunno what the right answer is, but for now nothing we can do about it. Like i said i'd be tempted to keep him, but only as a squad player at best, christ knows we need lots of squad players.

Definitely mate, I think Moyes will be looking for a right winger in the summer, someone who can improve on Osman.

Osman should be a backup central midfielder, hopefully that'll be the case next season.

trueblues1985 · April 25, 2009

the only thing we can do is hope and pray we do get a better improvement over Ossie. Keep the lad on the squad and grab another 1 or two players and then concentrate on bringing in squad players for back so we don't loose matches like we did today.

Scoring a winner against Liverpool, are you sure your not Rafael in disguise???

Gosling has had some good matches and some bad matches. One thing which i think should be mentioned is that Gosling has played on the left alot - and he has never played there in his career.

Im excited abotu Gosling - not the fastest of players, but he has some skill, isnt afraid to take on players, and his passing looks good. Id play him ahead of Osman atm...

...Great finish today.
