Continually gets put into good positions, but achieves absolutely nothing. Not sure what the benefit of this guy is at all.
By the way Graham Potter was in the Cottage today. Was this to see his Swedish players or the owner putting a bit of pressure on Arbeloa
Bobb was immense today, particularly in the first half when I had the benefit of seeing him up close when we were attacking the Hammy End. Hull couldn't handle him or King.
First half Bobb and King looked quality, linked up very well
He may be a lovely young man but frankly he's a dud!
No goals and very little if any positive outcomes from his play.

Tidy is the right word - but does nothing - no good crosses, no shots on goal, doesn't dribble past his opponents - nothing!

I'm sure you will agree that the basic aim of a game of football is to score more goals than the opponents.
Obviously the game has become far more nuonced these days, but when has Bobb done more than given his opponents a bit of a problem and actually contributed to winning games since he arrived?

He did that today.
He's a bloody weird play. Fantastic in the build up, and essential to us creating chances and dominating matches but my god he can't finish his dinner. Reminds me of Sone Aluko.
I think he's very tidy, constant threat an unbelievable touch puts fear into defenders

He dribbles past opponents all the time, does this consistently.
yeah cant really get on board with this im afraid thought he had an excellent game.

The team played well, very well. How about looking at the positives.
Your opinion on Bobb is valid because it's your opinion, doesn't mean it's factual (as your post seems to imply), it's just your opinion, a wrong one but hey, you're looking at a game we played very well in, deserved the win, kept a clean sheet, looked like a cohesive unit and certainly playing for the manager.
Yet you find a negative.
Well done.

perhaps you went for a cup of tea and missed his good shot on goal. He played very very well. Hull couldn't handle him.
I like Bobb, he gets a bad press. He's going to be a top player. He's only 23 years old and this will be his first full season playing week in week out - worth keeping in mind.
I watched every game last season, and have done this season so far. The Bobb from this season is far more effective than last year. Since the World Cup & the change of tactics at Fulham, he seems to have gained confidence, he got a couple of goals in the last international break if I remember correctly?
He's tricky outside the box, has good feet, and very good in close spaces with his 1-2's.
I'm happy with Bobb, can he do more? Of course, and I think he will. I'm more concerned about Garcia, ESR, Kevin & Angel

Agree with every word.
He'd be a good five a side footballer

I like him too, and he's clearly a talented player but I don't think he gets a bad press. He currently has no goals and assists for us after 21 games in the league. His build up play is brilliant and there's a lot of quality but we do need some end product too. He's spurned many chances you expect to see put away at this level.
Confidence is a strange beast in football.
I'll take the three points, hope we get three more against Cov & I believe we will then see our teams full potential.
hes clearly been told to go at people more and not pass the ball off. hes learning to shoulder responsibility and produce numbers, you can see how frustrated he is when he doesn't convert. It's rare we get a player with his ceiling in the black and white and if the final ball/shot starts to click we could have a star here.
Fulham dont get complete finished articals, we have to gamble on talent and it behooves us, in my opinion, to stay positive and give them every chance to blossom.
frustrating wee bugger though haha
Im pulling for him in the Borderline envelope
The link up play in the first half between Bobb, King and Castagne some of the best I have seen from players in a Fulham shirt for a long, long time.
In the Hammy End we groaned a bit when we saw Fulham would start, rather then end, the game facing the Hammy.
But a genuine pleasure to see quick, intelligent and youthful players with their quick changes of direction, speed of thought and interplay amongst an opposition group of giants.
Bravo

Called it out at the time but absolute rubbish, clearly a very good player

Tbh he didn't have a goal or assist for us so I don't think it's right to jump into the future and say something that it's wrong.
His play has been improving a lot recently, and he's looked sharper. This was a pure moment of magic, and hopefully it will be a turning point. He's a joy to watch at times.
The timing of the post was when he was clearly having a positive impact - totally right to call it out.
Dare I say, Álvaro is getting more out of him than Marco did. Clearly he's told him to be more aggressive. Could be very important player for us.
A wonderful individual moment of skill culminating in a brilliant goal, the second such goal this season.
He saved us, and got us the three points.

Also worth mentioning Bobb was coming back from a long injury last year and was lacking confidence and match fitness. He does look good and more aggressive though I agree. Had a bright World Cup, but does seem to be doing well under Arbeloa.
Video below has an interesting angle of the Bobb goal. I think it's even more impressive from this perspective.

I feel like that goal against West Ham and the couple of goals for Norway in the last international break have given him a little bit more confidence in front of goal.
He obviously should've scored at Hull as well, but at least in that goal he knew exactly what he wanted to do and create the space to take the shot on. We need that kind of assertiveness in the box
In game thread at HT I had remarked that I would like to see Bobb take on defenders more often. Well done to the lad! Should be a confidence boost. Much needed for him and his teammates.
Shame he didn't finish well at Ipswich but I have a lot of time for Bobb.
His challenge is to maintain consistency throughout the entire season, some Wilson couldn't manage
