Title: Bobb
Post by: perry geyton on September 12, 2026, 08:11:01 PM
yet again other then that cross to Robinson what exactly does he contribute with ?

I just don't get it, but it seems AA loves him, I've no idea why, I can't even imagine him scoring a goal

Sess IMO  would be 5 x more effective on the right

He beat his man a few times, very good at running at players, he has a nice pass as well. He needs to make the simple pass at times, I think he'll be fine. He needs to add some goals to his game.

Agreed. The current big weakness in the team

He had a good game tracked back got fouled when breaking down the wing no yellow card for the Liverpool player put some good passes inside the Liverpool penalty area and put in a fantastic cross which Robinson should have done better with . I really don't get the hate he receives.

Final product needs to be better.  He does however do a decent amount of defence work.  Often available for an out ball and puts a real shift in every time.

yeah but when running at players he generally runs into know where, on so many occasions today, I don't completely dislike him but he has to do a lot more to win me over, looks like scared to shoot

I still like how he takes on his man. He can still come good. Needs to think positive though, his body language isn't great.

Bob is the new Robinson.
He should be world class, he should be pulling up trees, he should be a fans favourite,  he should be irreplaceable.......but he's none of these.
Currently (that's important) he is all hype and no end product.

Oh good! A new whipping boy.
It wouldn't be friends? of Fulham if we didn't get on a player's back.

Bobb wasn't great today he demanded the ball to shoot the one clear chance he had and just like all game his 1st touch let him down

The team responded today. Work on the training ground and I guess the negative press helped bond them together.
Baird and Gera both had rocky starts to their Fulham careers but came good. I think Bobb will respond to working with good players and find his form. Same with Kevin.
We're only four games into the season but the potential is there to see. I think where we'll really shine is cup competitions. A bit of luck when it comes to whose drawn against us and we could make a final.

well excuse me,,,,whipping boy ? amount of dough they're on players should be held accountable

all im saying is he starts week in week out without much effect, Whereas Sessagnon can't get a look in and IMO is far more effective

call the cops

I was watching him during the team warm up as he seemed unable to grasp and replicate some of the moves, just saying!

There's a lack of confidence and uncertainty to the play, that I think entirely comes from Guardiola's coaching where certain players are conditioned to play to such specific instructions/structures that they kind of forget how to do stuff instinctively. You saw the same thing with Savio for Spurs today constantly stopping and cutting back rather than .
 
He has all the technical ability (and was very good against Chelsea in the first game), that i think he'll come good with good coaching and time. But I do get his lack of killer instinct currently is really frustrating.

I thought Bobb did ok today but at some point there has to be an end product. Being tidy isn't enough as one of the three attackers .I thought Kevin looked effective on the right , maybe he will get the nod there next week

It's weird with Bobb. His positioning and IQ are good. He reads the game quite well but his touch lets him down on occasion. I think he is trying too hard. You don't come through City's academy if you're a mug. It's there I think we just have to persevere with him.

Oscar is a class, silky player who links up well. Got that low centre of gravity and finds it easy to go past players.

He will come good with goals and assists I'm sure of it.

I haven't seen anything of the game yet.  I was fearing a heavy defeat bit was delighted to see the result.  However individuals played, the team deserve congratulations,  as do the coaches.  In Arbeloa we (I) trust.

He still looks utterly devoid of confidence - you can see it in his face.

He doesn't see where to set players up with chances.

Kevin is looking to start Wednesday hopefully he gets his wish and Bobb is dropped

Bobb is extremely talented, great dribbling ability. I havs no doubt the end product will come.

It's bizarre to see you defend a player!

However I am reminded of your slapstick bashing of TK demanding that we signed Bobb for years on the transfer threads, so at least you are staying consistent despite his three goal involvements across four seasons in the PL!

Well they are held accountable by the coach.
if they do not perform as the coach expects
they are dropped isn't that how it works.
Bobb played very well yesterday imo.

WE need players like Bobb and Kevin , who are prepared to take defenders on - go past them and take them out the game, even if it doesn't always come off, but I'd rather we had players who  tried this, rather than never doing it through fear of failure.

I though Bobb had a good game, posing a threat down the right as Robinson did down the left. He also tracked back.

Totally agreed.  Bobb getting a lot of stick in this forum, some justified, much not.  I think there is a very good player in Bobb.  And some say he doesn't help out defensively, I disagree, I think he does, have seen him oft times in our defensive third helping out.  Just needs to shoot more and start scoring some goals.  Same with Kevin, I think these are two really good players who have chance to be big contributors.

Agree with majority on this thread..

I rate Bobb and especially like his dribbling ability and how he always looks to take on his fullback when given a chance

I'd like to see more goals and shots from him and I think that will come.

Friends and Family of mine don't rate Oscar Bobb one bit certainly a touch of Marmite about him. Personally I think he is a Classy player who will improve leaps and bounds in a Regular team set up.The only worry for me  does he lack that turn of pace?

glad to see he finally popped his cherry
