Leon Osman

[L4Everton]

Couldn't fathom why he started today, but to his credit, he had a good game.

Agreed, and he stuck a top crunching tackle in as well that drew the ire of Agbonlahor, who subsequently got a yellow for a late challenge on Baines.

Fecking woeful today.

Hard to see how any blue can defend him now. He is a liability.

Utter liability on the pitch

I'd rather he wasn't in the squad mate.

He's had his time, done well for is but the longer this carries on he won't be remembered for the good stuff he's done. Each game he gets worse it seems.

He cant play in a wide role. Maybe Martinez never took any notice to Moyes' years of wasteful perseverence with him in that role?

He can do a job at a pinch coming on against tiring minds and limbs, but only more centrally. RM did the player and the team no service there today playing Osman in that role.

I'm not an Osman hater but I swear almost every game he has a moment where his brain switches off while in possession and someone nips in from behind and robs him of the ball, very often in a dangerous position. It's utterly infuriating

 

[ArtetaMoney]

He's one of our worst players, should never start

I thought he was decent today except the 10 minutes before he was subbed.

.....very unlike RM to start a game with no recognised wingers. It was clearly part of the game plan for Osman and Naismith to be very flexible and come inside. I thought he did ok today but it's fair comment that he does tend to get mugged at times these days. I'm a fan of the little fella but he is more a squad player nowadays.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

I appreciate what he has done for us during his career, but really it's time to move on now. Never been an Osman hater/basher and never will, but he quite simply isn't up to our standards anymore.

In an eggshell.
