52 | Oscar Bobb - 2023/24

[hammersmithlad]

Seems like an exciting prospect although how's his shooting skills?

One thing I was confident with Palmer is he could score some crackers right from a youth level & with a majority teams setting up a low block against us sometimes a great strike is what makes a difference in tight games.

Don't think he's especially quick but he's very clever. When I used to watch him in the youth team he would always find pockets of space, like Phil he automatically receives the ball on the half turn a lot aswell which gives him a half yard head start.

In terms of change of pace, perhaps not. But he's got very quick feet, hasn't he? That's something he shares with Phil. But comparisons with Phil are unfair for any young player. Phil was Player of the Tournament in the FIFA Under-17 World Cup. You don't see that every day, even from the best.

U21 duty: Norway 7 - 0 Latvia, Bobb got the 4th goal and assisted the 6th. Played the whole 90, RW, but roams across the top of the box if he wants. Watched from 30m until the end. Bobb got better as it went along - he sorta owned the last 20 mins or so. Norway U21s are fun to watch, seems like all of them play like Bobb. Haaland's world cup dream might have legs if these boys can translate their tiki-taka on snowshoes to the men's team some day.

Yep Norway have some good attacking talent with Erling and Odegaard.

Add in Nusa who looks a player and if Bobb makes the step up from the U21’s which I think he will (possibly in the next 12 months) then Norway do look quite menacing.

wow - they are big remarks from Lilo - he is clearly highly thought of.

High praise indeed." Great Expectations "..I'm not having it that he doesn't speak a word of english- Lilo managed to quote a Charles
Dickens classic right there.
Another City managerial Fraud ;)

Norway's horrendous defense still needs to be solved to have any realistic chance to qualify for Euro/World Cup.

He clearly has been working on his upper body strength.
