52 | Oscar Bobb - 2023/24

[OB1]

Not seen much of him but know he is highly rated. Yesterday he gave us some glimpses of why he is.

This move went down really well at the ground. Fodenesque

Without wanting to compare the two (as that would be obviously ridiculous), when I first saw Bobb receive that ball and turn the opposition, I thought of...

I have watched him a lot, and considered him to be the best of the academy players, along with Joel Ndala and Isiah Dada Mascoll.

Oscar is versatile, and can play anywhere in the attacking areas of the pitch. He played LW, RW, CF and CAM for the academy/EDS. IMO, he is better in a central position where his close control and vision can do real damage. He has a supreme weight of pass that can repeatedly release forward players, but he is not explosive - more of a David Silva than an Alvarez.

Yeah, agree with all of this.

The reason why he can play a number of positions is because he's such an intelligent footballer. Just like Foden he's excellent in the pockets on the half turn. We really need to use him more this season because we could unearth an absolute gem.

Yeah, some of those premium rate phone lines were really essential listening weren’t they ..?

He did really well when he came as did Gomez.

 

[come-on-barney]

Early days but can see why Pep rates him so highly.
