O'Shea at full back really, really fucks me off.
Mostly because he’s not that good there
Absolutely.
Does neither him, nor the team any good.
And no one will ever, ever convince me Ajayi is better. Ever.

The opposition know O'shea is suspect at FB so they deliberately put pressure on him. This leaves him vulnerable when he gets doubled up on. He has trained mainly as a FB. But looks far more comfortable as a CH.
We always look stronger when he is in the back 3 system.
Imagine he would perform and look a whole lot better with better players around him IMO.

He's poor at right back, but I'd still have him there over Furlong every day.

+1. O’Shea was often picked ahead of Furlong in the promotion season with Bilic after Ferguson left

It's just Dawson Mk2 isn't it?
But without the surliness.

And dare I say it, not quite as good
I hope a preseason does him good as he’s been average at best since returning.

If we got relegated this season, I wouldn't want Bartley to stay on, even at League One level. He's shit. There's no way of dressing it up.
