...the lad's Marmite on here, some like him some don't. I'm not keen on Marmite but I'm a big fan of Osman.

He did have a very good run of form leading up to his England call up.
That's the only thing I can think of though.

I could say 2010 but that would be a guess.
But yes he did when he played off the striker and we did our usual great second half. May have been the same year we were losing like the likes arteta anchibe and jags to injury.
I don't want to live on a planet where Leon Osman actually has a book.
he was playing cm then was he not, I might be wrong, he was poor in that position, the most dribbled past player in the league that season in fact
Oh, I don't remember. I just remember thinking that he was playing well for a few games there. Then everything reverted to normal and I wanted to boil my head when I saw his name on the team sheet.
fair enough them was flying at the start of the season and everyone probably looked decent, certainly in the second half he was poor especially when gibson was absent, but of course moyes stuck him in at every opportunity, I remember the game at arsenal when gibson, barkley and fellaini formed a formidable midfield, next game barkley dropped for osman, but according to some we should never question managers
Well, to be fair, you've never been a professional manager, so having an opinion that differs from one is wrong and you're a bad person for that.
We all know that professionals never make mistakes or get things wrong in their respective fields.

marmite hits the nail on the head. I have supported Leon on here because he has been a decent pro playing in a very average side for most of his career. Only lately have Everton built a very good squad and look a excellent footballing side. He certainly isn't my favourite in this squad but he certainly doesn't deserve to be called a liability. IMHO

The fire rises
He played okay against Lille in the first 20 minutes, he didn't touch the ball a lot after that, forgot he was playing as McCarthy and Barry did so much work in the middle. He's still not good enough for us if we have aspirations of Champions League football.

I wouldn't call him a liability either, I'm not quite at the level of hatred towards him as a footballer as @Walken is lol
I just want to see us improve and I'd like to see us move past players of his quality. Decent player through his career, gave 100%, simply not big enough to play the position he wanted to in the Premier League, he'd have had a great career in Spain I think (hint hint Moyes...)
Last year with Osman starting all the premier league games we were challenging for champions league.
This year without him starting we are struggling.
Him and Aids need to start more.

yes, and Barkley nearly scored a screamer which would have broken the 0-0 stalemate. I remember thinking, 'that lad's a good player'.....and then he was dropped....for Osman!
don't question it though mate, the manager see's them everyday, having an opinion on team selection on a forum is out of order, good blue is ossie, sacrificed his first born to the footballing gods to gain favour to everton etc etc

Every time he plays for us he spits on the club and us supporters.
