Top12Game:

Will Roy Hodgson have said that if Osaze was an England international?

Yes. He would have said that. he is the guy who gets blamed whenever his team loses and so he has to demand commitment from his players.

Kay-Dee:

Hodgson sounds like he has some loose screws in his head.

Actually, that sounds like YOU have the rattling screws

Myself2:

In as much as Osazee has not been in my good books of late,I think Hodgson should be evaluated psychiatrically for that bunkum he spewed.
Secondly,I have to remind you that Osazee was not born in Nigeria and his birth date is well and correctly documented,so dont go there

'bunkum'?
Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. Will you be happy if Output (Goals, assists, appearances) is much much less than input (good salary/contract)?

BCuZiMBlaCk:

The coach shouldnt forget that it was osaze who helped them escape relegation last season. Its unfortunate he has injury

'Helped'?
Need I remind you that Osaze was PAID a salary for his role at West Brom? The man did what he was paid to do, that's all.
Also, if anyone 'helped' anybody, it was West Brom that helped Osaze by rescuing him from the racist hellhole that was Lokomotiv Moscow and bringing him to the most prominent league in the world.

@Texazzpete, You seem to have answers
Ask Keshi to engage you
Hope u are free (Lolz)

something is definitely wrong somewhere.
I want to believe he should be criticizing the medical staff and not Osaze unless he thinks he is not really injured and question his commitment because I hardly see a coach criticizing his player for being injured and unavailable. The fact that he collects record 55k for the club seems to annoy the coach. that alone gives pressure and I think Osaze should concentrate on getting back to form and silence his coach.
that is the crux of his argument.
He has consulted the medics and they are not convinced Osaze's case is physical.

Could it be metaphysical? As in the mighty mothers (flying birds) having hands in it. For what reason?

I mean, any club that spends good money on a player wants to get its returns. Its quite frustrating for a coach to have a player he thinks is fit unavailable for selection. His comments show that he doubts if Osaze is actually not fit.
