Will Osula


Recommended Posts

How anyone can make a confident judgement on Osula is beyond me. The only thing I’d be confident in saying is that he’s a loose cannon and that doesn’t necessarily fit with Eddie’s approach or most managers’ approach. However, there are easily enough aspects to his game to be a success and if he doesn’t make it under Howe it’s hard to imagine he’ll make it under many managers

Exactly. Like we haven't learned to exercise just a little patience and see how things turn out. If this coaching staff can't straighten him out and smooth the rough edges, i'd be surprised if anyone else could.

Think you can fairly assess a player on the sort of attributes he has, pace, control, dribbling, workrate etc. 

 

I'm not saying he played well or has played well in the past, but I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with his skillet and in fact has a number of desirable qualities  

 

I honestly think he can make huge strides with game if he improves his decision making skills - which is a broad category- but also his composure in key moments. He's certainly created a number of half chances for himself which is a skill in itself and a strong indicator of a players quality. 

 

There's definitely a player in there imo.

He was like a headless chicken IMO.

 

Someone needs to calm him down at the right moments.

 

Maybe he's just over-excited to get a few minutes? Hopefully, he will calm down as he gets more match time.

What do you do with him next season? Another season like this one would be a waste for him. He's behind Isak, Wilson, Gordon and maybe even Murphy up top. 

Love Wilson but surely he'll not be here to be behind next season.

Probably depends on what European competition we end up in. Champions League, may as well loan him out. Conference League and he could get a decent amount of minutes, so keep him around. Europa League and would depend on who else we got in/who was up for loaning him.

He’s an absurd raw skill set, keep coaching him and he’ll come good under Eddie. 


This - I go off the principle of 2 players in each forward position with Osula your bonus 7th player who covers all 3 - he’s a very good player to have in the squad and will have greater minutes next season - doesn’t need to be loaned -,let him learn under Eddie

Lewis Hall had played and showed that he could play at the top level at Chelsea.

 

Osula's never done owt at any senior level.

 

Don't think it's fair to compare them.


Hall made 9 starts for Chelsea at the back end of the season when there was nothing riding on it for Chelsea - I don’t think it’s enough of a sample size really (even though at the time I thought he would be ideal for us!)
