Given time his overall performance will either: a/ improve b/ confirm a few things I’d like the lad given more game time. He looks better playing as a RW forward. He plays like his brain ticks, erratically. I know Eddie likes to bed players in but Wilson is toast atm. Osula was Eddie/Mad dogs choice at £10mill plus up to £5mill addons. That’s an expensive bench warmer in our PSR world. Time will tell. Hope the kid comes good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis H Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Bill Shankley used to tell Keegan to "go out and drop hand grenades all over the place". That’s probably where Osula is, not trusted enough yet to start matches but can be a massive handful off the bench for defenders who don’t know his game.

Was 22/1 last night. Probably be a bit shorter here given how shite Leicester are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not really being given this time yet though. He needs more time off the bench. We need to unleash his energy and erraticness.

Anger or apathy? Mainly apathy at this point. One of them who was up here in December isn’t bothering with the commute for Monday night. Another didn’t even watch them last night. They dislike Ruud, all of the players aside from Vardy who is past it anyway, hate Top & Rudkin and they’re 12 points from safety with horrid fixtures coming up. All the while their closest rivals in the PL, Forest, are looking likely to finish top 4 and are in a FA Cup semi final. They say the ground will be half empty on Monday. Tickets are on general sale and there’s swathes of empty seats in the stands behind the goals and corners. They’re saying they’re only going as I’m down for the weekend. That club is just a toxic mess atm. The way it’s been run over the last 3 years has been shambolic. Which is astounding when you think how much we’d envy them between 2015-2020.

It doesn't really matter what they do in games, the players they have just aren't good enough at this level. Their defence is all over the place, have a piss weak midfield and their best attacker is either a 38 year old Vardy or an on loan player in Buonanotte who Van Nistelrooy doesn't start.

We've been there far too much with the likes of Ashley and apathy towards your own team is not a place I'd wish for anyone to go, it's soul destroying. Having said that, I hope we get a hat full.

Stifler Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 They have been the worst team I have seen play all season when we played them at home and when I have seen them on TV. Southampton although they have a lower points total, have at least had a go in games. We beat them 4-0, and honestly we didn’t even get out of 1st gear, and it could have been more. If we play like we can, we’ll absolutely hammer them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 There are terrible and we should win this one, football is a funny game sometimes though. Attitude of the players has to be correct again. Hope Isak is not injured? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
