Leon Osman

[Chang Elephant]

I have no strong feelings about this either lads. There's a lot of ****e footballers earning a good living.

Excellent today

More good performances like that from the bench and he might force his way back into the first team

Barkley still has a lot to learn from Leon

Not really. He's had his entire career to force his way into the first team, everyone watching Everton can see he doesn't have the legs to start.

Off the bench was, and is the best place for him if Barkley isn't playing well.

No point kneejerking and forgetting everything thats gone before just because he had 1 good game off the bench, thats what you want from an exerienced technically gifted player.

But playing him from the start when we have a better option makes no sense because he doesn't have the engine. If Barkley really drops off there might be a case but at this point he's obvious first choice.

 

[Baines' left foot]

He played very well today in what I'd say is by far his best position, he's not suited to play CM at all but further up he's still got something to offer.

Well in Ossie, lid!

Barkley, Osman and Pienaar all provide great options for the CAM (or AMC for you FM players) role.

 

[Walken]

Fair play, he was the match winner

 

[Del]

Fair play, he was the match winner

Lukaku was mate

Ossie just polished it off

 

[moosed]

Fair dinkums to him, did a good job... Still think he's a bit gash though

 

[Christiffa25]

Exactly what Osman offers from his best posistion. (Coming on from the bench in a more attacking role).

Should of been his role for years, lots of different reasons have made that not the case.

 

[FTY]

Very, very good today. Still doesn't deserve to even challenge Barkley.

Ross will have dips in form and Osmans not a bad player to have to step in if need be.

What kind of stupid arse statement is that?

Shall we close every single thread that discusses players as everyone of them would skin us?
