Osman stokes up the pressure but Everton can’t crack Potters
by Nick Smith at Goodison Park
THE praise was so gushing it’s a wonder the pages of the programme didn’t go soggy – both David Moyes and Phil Neville queuing up to pay tribute to Leon Osman for the way he has responded to being made captain.
But it was a perfectly timed observation yesterday. Because while it’s the wearing of hearts, rather than armbands, on sleeves that usually makes the current Everton squad tick, it was Osman who certainly led by example with a wonderful equalising goal.
Sadly, it was an example few were able to follow.
Everton, despite conceding their first goal on English soil in the three weeks that have passed following defeat to Fulham, remain unbeaten since then.
