All I'm going to say is No Gareth Barry = Wins!

And Leon Osman?

yes we were awful but of course h was why we won I mean forgot the fact he gave away the ball constantly he was the reason we won

Maybe he did. Maybe he was awful. Maybe I am completely wrong? But how come I have said it ALL season and only been wrong in 2 games (I think. it might be 3) In every game bar those 3 games we have taken points. In all the games without him, we have won only 2 or 3 all season. YES 2 OR 3 WINS without him. People keep saying he was crap or other things about him.but ED025, I REALLY WANT TO STOP HAVING TO HAVE THIS ARGUEMENT. please all of you just look at the stats. They are not just an indication.it is a bloody fact. 2 wins out of 30 odd games when he has not played. and when he has played.only a couple of losses. I agree the team does not always look better. but it is MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE AT GETTING POINTS. And that's what we need in any season.

im actually not here to argue degsy, in fact, I sort of agree, you are no doubt very smug. I also believe we won these games due to the formation, but I do agree osman does a better job on the left than either atsu or mcgeady can, mirallas will never play for us again, atsu is garbage so I do think our best TEAM must have osman on one side and lennon on the other, I think the side has a better natural balance playing 4-4-2 and with 2 wide men. I don't think osman is the messiah, but he offers us something different and obviously better on that side then anyone else we have. is he as good as I think you think he is? no but the team has a much better shape with him on that left side
