Bobb

[@jolslover]

Think its a bit early to dig this one out to be fair, Perry.

I get it and I did say I want him to come good of coarse BUT I just don't see anything in him so far and what role he plays
No flare in his play whatsoever

Next season we will see

So many better criticisms you could make of Bobb. ie his strength and being lightweight but you have said he has no flair. Do you ever watch any of our games? It is clear the one thing he does have is dribbling ability and even in the Brentford game he had one nice moment where he beat a defender with some skill and won a free kick

Sorry don't remember that precise moment, next time I'll
Make a note of it
Like I said he def had moments against spurs but I've still not seen enough,

Neeskins for example cost what a 1/10th of what we paid for him and I know who I'd rather watch

You can't compare the two, Oscar Bobb was highly rated by City fans in what was one of the best squads in Europe and he's only 22.  I loved Kebano but Oscar Bobb already reached a higher level than Kebano did in his whole career.

One thing I will say is that Kevin has improved a lot during his injury. Before his injury he was a constant source of complaints (for some), but while injured he's enjoyed almost nothing but praise and clamour for his return!

Joking aside, my own view is that we need to massively improve the quality of our central midfield. The wingers are less effective because of the lack of quality in the middle, slow/predictable passing, poor ball control, lack of pace, lack of imagination.  Imagine how much better our wingers and creative players would perform with a midfielder or two like Bruno Guimaraes in the centre.

Bobb, ESR and Kevin will be worth between £15m and £40m in three years time, something we cannot say about Anderson and Iwobi.

No flair in his play whatsoever didnt you say Perry?

Most flair on the pitch yesterday when he came on picked the ball out the air and nutmegged Cash

Other than Kevin he's got the most flair on our team

Totally agree, in that twenty minutes of Bobb and King on the pitch we ran them ragged down the left. With a little more composure and better judgement I could have seen us scoring a second.

The nutmeg was sublime as was his control taking the ball right on the touchline.

Yeah great nutmeg and play from Bobb. Issue for him seems to be finishing at the moment, a lot of very weak shots - not sure if it's on wrong foot.

He didn't back himself to shoot when in a great position and rolled a poor pass to Muniz which was cut out.

Noticed our diminutive players really struggling with shooting this season - ESR, King, Kevin and Bobb. Failing to make particularly good connections with the ball at key moments.

I kinda wish boa morte was still coaching here, feel like he's the type of coach Chukwueze and Bobb could benefit from

As for the comment regarding Kevin being better since his injury I know it was tongue in cheek but he had shown clear signs of progress and a couple of goals Including the absolute peach at utd away, just prior to his injury. Do think it looked like he was adjusting and gaining confidence hence people being frustrated to lose him just as his form was improving.

Looks like hell be back just in time for people to slate him for being rusty at the end of the season 😅

Agreed he looked very good in his little 15 min cameo yesterday,  not as lively as King tho

Look forward to see him do it for 90 in the future

Bobb and Chuk both prefer playing on the right so if the latter stays and with Kevin, Iwobi and Sess as options on the left, we could get by without signing a direct replacement if H leaves which now looks inevitable.

Focus then on an elusive, goal-scoring, assist-fesh 8 and striker as priorities with upgrades in certain other positions

That's a fair point

Assuming We finally get a high level 8 then Iwobi can indeed become an LW again and perhaps we don't need more wingers after all even if Wilson departs.

Bobb and Chuck prefer playing on the Right perhaps if  Harry Wilson is  leaving it  won't be so upsetting.

The exact point I made literally two posts up

We all wanted our club to move from its reliance on age and experience towards greater focus on young potential. That is what is happening and with it comes a degree of risk. It had to happen now let's show a little patience and give these young players some time to shine.

Actually this is a great point. Younger players form are always in and out unless they are truly exceptional (see Rooney, Ronaldo etc),even King burst on to the scene and then faded before starting to come back again.

It happens.
