52 | Oscar Bobb - 2023/24

we need to give Lewis, Bobb a real chance and serious game time.

300 minutes of PL is not enough for Bobb. he is 21 in few weeks, there are players in PL t age 18, 19 with serious game time under their belt.

Absolutely, didn’t let us down when they got their chances. Lewis Especially got the bit between his teeth when Walker was out, shame he was benched after that.

We’re gonna save ourselves a lot of money if we give them game time.

And there's plenty of examples of players who have gone on to have impressive careers who didn't get a look in until well into their 20's. Are those players you speak of playing for the best team in the country with titles on the line every game they play?

He's soon to be 21 not 31. Let's appreciate the achievement of breaking into this squad at all instead of moaning about him not usurping players who will go down as all time premier league greats in his first season with the 1st team.

I think as a club we may reflect on the sale of Cole Palmer and look to give more minutes to Bobb and Lewis. Not minutes for the sake of it but because they are good enough to deserve their chance.

My frustration is when they dont come on if we are 3 goals up, no reason not to give them game time at that point.

No we don't.

For every Cole Palmer there will be 10 or more Dele Alli/ Jack Wilshere.

Pep will give him time when he earns it. And if he's not giving him time.. it's because someone is ahead of him.

His chance will come.. it's not like he's up against Haaland.

Jack Wilshere and Dele Alli were great players as well, Wilsheres career was ended by injuries and Alli’s with his off field problems. Bad examples.

Were they great players ?
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I don't think they reached their potential ?
Both had a level of opportunity, at different clubs.
Neither Oscar nor Lewis have had that level of first team football - yet...

You’ve got to be pretty good to boss a cl midfield against prime Barcelona.

Wilshere was special, but there isn’t much you can do when you have glass ankles.

Deli Alli got 18 non penalty goals from midfield and 7 assists in one season 20/21 years of age. And some of the goals he scored that year were absolute corkers.

Neither failed for lack of great ability, it was other problems outside of their control.

Been a bit disappointed in Lewis this season, he seems to have lost a yard of pace? hopefully get fully fit ready for preseason, as for Bobb we did not see enough of him, but i will say get replays he has got very quick feet, blink and you miss luck or genius.

Wilshere`s injuries probably stem from his style of play, huge impact every time. Loved Alli we were too late and bought the wrong one, if we would have got him, he would still be an England first choice, but football is all about chance at that age.
