He hasn't been this season though (or for a while tbh), so I'm not sure what Martinez has been seeing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe thats showing through in training more than on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I think there is a bit of psychology going on with Bob, he praised Jelavic, praised Naismith and whilst Naismith had a better game, there is a need for his on the ball qulaity to vastly improve. I think he's just trying to share some confidence to the players who need it. He loves his polysyllable pluadits does our bob, phenomenal, incredible, fantastic (ok trisyllable) - for a person who is using his second language its a very clever method of motivating using words alone. Watch the way he emphasises them in interviews - clever man. A far cry from the baseball bat wielding days of Archie Knox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 How many more times will Ossie be "finished" at Everton? No idea! I think he's finished as a regular starter but he's still a good squad player, and good to have in the dressing room.

I think he's finished as a regular starter but he's still a good squad player, and good to have in the dressing room. Totally agree In fact I think a fresh Osman coming off the bench could be a very useful weapon just like at Villa markjazzbassist, Matt and Bailey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 My favourite player may as well hang up his boots. It's horrible that he's injured but sadly I think it's best for the team Lowensda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think Ledson is already the ideal player to be his replacement. One touch passing, tempo setting player. Osman will always have respect off the fans - a one club player who has been around since he was kid. My mate was at Everton as a youth keeper around 1994. He said Osman was a couple of years younger but was an absolute quality striker back then. He's had a good career to be fair to the lad. If he was a better athlete he would have had many more england caps IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee_in_LA Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Wow, injuries have seriously f***** us this year. Osman has pretty much been a consistent player over the years. Hard to criticize a man who bleeds blue and has always done his best when asked to play a position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Real shame if true. Great servant to the club. Yes, but I won't be displeased either. Martinez would keep him around the club so his influence would be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 My favourite player who scored my favourite Everton goal. The injury might be a blessing in disguise for him, before his bad performances tarnish a solid career. Thanks for the memories, Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I was right behind the goal for the Larissa peach. The bend on it was awesome. Didn't appreciate the quality lecture build up till I got home and seen it. Hope he gets ten minutes in a game to say goodbye.

MC11 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 He is frustrating but underrated. We could definitely do with his neat foot work in the final third atm. Gutting if true. Looks like Pienaar could go the same way too. Another influential player that at his best we sorely miss. Blue 250 and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Good point, hopefully that'll be the case. The way Martinez has always spoken about him (and Hibbert) I couldn't see anything other than that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
