Please stop this pathetic vendetta against O'Shea. You've done it against Richards and Hird and it doesnt help you in the credibility stakes.

No vendetta. If you think I'm wrong you simply have to tell us all about those splendid crosses he put in, and describe his solo effort for the goal of the season contender. Bearing in mind nobody else saw anything of the sort, and the highlights will soon be on Player.
Now about hose 'credibility stakes'? Refer in your answer to the fact that Richards and Hird no longer get in the starting line-up.

As regards crosses, do you ever watch Premier League and International games? Does every cross find a man? Get converted into a goal? Man Utd had 82 crosses v Fulham and failed to score from one.

The thing to be said about OShea crosses is that they always beat the first man, are whipped in at speed, and tend to have a good arc. I would think the difference between finding a forward and a defender from 20 yards with a curling cross is all of a 5 degrees angle.

Both have played their part this season and no doubt have a further part to play. Its about a squad, not an 11, and its about 46 games ... but dont let that stop you sticking in the knife in players you dont like.

And all those crosses O'Shea delivered in the first half? If you want to hero worship certain players it's your call. I try to see the good points and bad and talk about them sensibly - which doesn't include making obviously ridiculous claims about what they did.

He delivered one cross and it went straight to the 'keeper, whereas you claimed he put in 'plenty of good crosses'. No, he didn't. He very rarely does, and neither do any of the others - it's been our most consistent fault this season, as many posts on this Board confirm.
Can we discuss players' attributes without visiting Fantasy Island? He scored twice and played well second half - first half he was poor. He still comes out ahead of the game, without any need for fantasies.

Keep working on the reading skills. It could prove useful in later life, and you might even learn to express an opinion.

If you read carefully I have expressed two opinions in a single sentence

Everyone was poor first half. Do you think Gardner would be the man for a scrap instead??

It was a dreadful first half for most but I thought Cooper Evatt and Morsy did ok. Then Morsy had a poor second half for me, whilst one or two others picked their game up a bit...so overall Evatt just in front of Coops for me.
