Annoyed by Osborn?

[Chessie dave]

Middle of second half, he gets outrun (again) by his winger and unsportingly tries to wrestle him to the ground around the halfway line. He gets brushed aside too easily, and falls smitten to the ground ( off the pitch) as if suffering a serious head injury. Rolls around for a minute, ignored by the ref, sheepishly gets up and carries on …. And moans when he gets a booking. Don’t know if it was for the wrestle, or the simulation, but it’s this sort of poor discipline that I can’t bear.

 

[Guesty]

It reminded me a lot of the Blackburn player we were taking the liss out of last season in the Cup QF, if I'm honest.

Deserved a booking for simulation, i cant stand this side of the game

Watch it again - he gets elbowed in the face/head

I think you need to look at the footage again.

When you say gets brushed off easily, he takes a forearm across the face, could have done serious damage and a red card offence, not seen by the ref. The reason he’s complaining is because the ref missed what happened. Yes, a foul by Ben to start with, but no excuse for what happened after.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

He’s crap. Shouldn’t be anywhere near a premier league 11. Nothing about him- just a likeable bloke.

Correct . he DID foul the burnley player but the burnley player elbowed him in the face . I have no issues with him . Wish other players showed the same energy as him .

He gets an elbow in the face direct contact self inflicted tho’

I’m more annoyed with idea of Ben Osborn, than I am with Ben Osborn himself. This season he was always going to be a useful space filler, someone to come in and make up the numbers on our bench when injuries or suspensions dictated it. Unfortunately he’s ended up being an integral part of a hapless and largely uninterested team. I shudder to think what it would be like if players like him and JLT weren’t around.

 

[Gin&Juice]

I love his gumption. But we really need to bomb out these players and cut off from the past.

 

[Davalon]

Osborn is exactly the type to.keep around when you're on a tight budget.

Versatile, professional, and in certain roles a decent player ample good enough for the Championship.

Don't remember this incident yesterday tbh and haven't seen any footage back. I can't stand the feigning of injuries we see every game. Burnley players were going it in injury time at 4-1 and even Kompany was telling them to get up.

I don't get the unsporting bit though. Every team commits tactical fouls. Not saying its a great part of the game but we can't afford to be nicey nicely about that stuff.

 

[Trigger Blade]

Either VAR looked at it and found no major error, or missed it as well.

He will be an asset in the Championship. Maybe not in the PL but we cannot create a new squad for next season out of newcomers.

 

[petcharlie]

I agree very handy having a guy like him to call on who can play in a variety of positions .There are a lot more in the squad that need to be shown the door before Osborn .With our injury history we need him .

 

[petcharlie]

I wonder what he is like in goal

 

[JohnDenver]

Ossie is worth far more to us than his transfer market value.

Those who want him out are living in a dream world where we can afford depth in every position.

Certainly wasn't his finest hour. He's a limited player but applies himself 100% to the task, which is more than can be said for most of the others.
I think he will do ok for us at Championship level.

Oh and even more annoying was the Burnley player who unlike Osborn rolled onto the pitch to thrash around and cry like a girl when there was nothing wrong with him (and they were 4-1 up at this point). So of course the ref stopped the game, where as Ozzie was too dim to realise that no one would care if he rolled around off the pitch.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Sick and tired of these “he’ll do” players.

I get that mate, but our absentee, disinterested, broke owner isn't likely to spend to improve on them, and even if he did, Wilder would replace them with even bigger buffoons.

What do you like about him personally if I could ask?

Not good enough for the championship either

 

[Houston_Blade]

Either VAR looked at it and found no major error, or missed it as well.

They did a VAR check, the commentators were banging on about it. He got booked for moaning at the ref apparently.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Does a lot for the community and he chucks kettles over his house. Never a premier league footballer though.

 

[Diamondlife]

It was at the John Street side near us and he looked like he took one in the face after trying to wrestle their player, he was rightly booked but I haven’t seen a replay so don’t know if the arm he took was accidental or nor, so no idea if their player should have been red carded or not. I like Osborn, he tries as hard as anyone and a lot more than most, he’s also versatile and is 100% committed, one of the few players to come out of the season with credit, so trying to find fault with him him is a strange one for me.

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

He always looks like a headless chicken to me. He puts effort in (that's the basics that ALL players should be demonstrating) but we have so much dross it lulls people into thinking he's better than he is.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Ossie a limited player we know but if all our supposedly more talented players put in as much effort as him perhaps we might be a point or two better off.

 

[varkanoid]

Ossie a limited player we know but if all our supposedly more talented players put in as much effort as him perhaps we might be a point or two better off.

With Robbo off injured him and Bogle look the best of our defence. Look at the number of times he busts a gut to get in their box and doesnt receive a pass. He is trying for the team which can be more than said for some of the others. Unfortunately this is the level we are seeing as being good because a few dont seem to care.

 

[cooperblade]

Sick and tired of these “he’ll do” players.

Can't see there every being a time when United can afford a squad of 20+ players without having any "he'll do" players in it.

Osborn wouldn't get in my first 11 but having someone who can cover multiple positions as a squad player is very useful.

 

[Snowflake]

Sick and tired of these “he’ll do” players.

We will need at least 6 “he’ll do” players next season. We cannot replace the whole squad with better players.
We are no more entitled to be in the PL or the top of the Championship than other clubs, but some on here think we are and that we should be acquiring a squad of really good players by the beginning of next season. That is unrealistic.

 

[jono_t2000]

Osborn had 2nd most touches against Brentford at left mid and most touches against Burnley at left back as well as putting in most crosses against Burnley

At least he makes himself available for the ball and isn't a passenger unlike our Brazilian superstar.
