Will Osula


Recommended Posts

Started in last 16 versus Barcelona and scored against Liverpool and Man United. His value has instantly gone from £30m to £45m for this summer.

Very commendable showing I thought.

 

Still a bit too eager and excitable when he initially receives the ball, and just needs to slow down a bit. That will come with more game time and experience.

 

He may end up needing to move on to get that much needed experience come the summer though, as he really needs it. Not sure if he'll be given enough of those opportunities at Newcastle.

Or a loan perhaps. Just long enough to see what he has to offer and then bring him back to replace Wissa after next season perhaps, the way things are looking.

Same. I think he needs to go somewhere and play a full season, but I want dibs on the player that's in there.

I’m thinking that Howe is starting to prefer him to lead the line at times because he follows the pressing instructions well but still offers that extra bit of cavalierness/unpredictability that others don’t. 

Can press. Makes decent runs inbehjnd ans good pace. Might bend one top bins too. 
 

His lack of first touch/control might prevent him becoming a top player. Sometimes plays like a baby giraffe - stiff and uncoordinated. 
 

 

But great shift tonight lad.

Don't understand howe mind with his player management, 

Against chelsea he basically gave gordon a whole 90 after he was ill.

I thought he'd of used osula for maybes 20 to rest him but he didn't so naturally thought osula will start against barca. 😂

Then Gordon look shagged from the off not much pressing at all.

There was a full 4 days between games, no way Gordon should have been knackered.

The shaking his foot around the ball when it's at his feet needs to stop. Good energy tonight, though. He's canny smart with his runs, needs to focus on his ball control, though.

Some players do stepovers so naturally, others not so much. Osula looks like he’s got a foot tic disorder when he does it

His foot must be too far away to actually touch the ball like 90% of the time he's doing it. So easy to nick it from him. Thinks he's Michael Flatley.

That goal still takes my breath away a bit every time I see it, with a bit of help from the commentary. Cup final apart, the only other one that does the same is the Bruno diving header v Leicester
