52 | Oscar Bobb - 2023/24

[cleavers]

I'd like to see young Oscar in his natural position on the right wing as he's a much better chance of making that position his own.

He plays in different positions, because his teacher is getting him to understand football better, did the same with Foden, doing the same with Lewis as well, this is what a top coach does well.

I was thinking the same same tbh.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Hope he gets another start against Burnley to keep his confidence up.

Potential world-beater.

Pep needs to find minutes for him. Can`t afford to lose another (very) promising academy player. Personally i rate him higher than Palmer (better right foot,faster,more versatile). Sub minutes against Copenhagen,Brentford & 90 min. against Luton should be on the cards.

Pep does seem to trust Bobb (and Lewis) more than he ever did Palmer but now with a fully fit squad it will be more difficult for him to get minutes. If we can score a few against Copenhagen tomorrow and get a decent lead then the return leg may be when he gets his opportunity to start.
Also now Halland and KdB are back we hopefully will start winning games by greater margins which should give more sub opportunities for the likes of Bobb, Lewis, Gomez etc.

Is there a possibility you guys loan him to Leicester next season?

I think he occupies much the same situation as Phil Foden. The meedya were clamouring for him to go out on loan, mainly on the basis that they either wanted his shins kickin' in or to avoid him getting minutes with the likes of Kev, Mahrez 'n Bernardo.

Borussia Dortmund offered a loan in January, and we rejected it, so probably no chance we allow him to leave anywhere.

Jack and Bernie injuey means he will get minutes, but I wish that didnt have to be the case for that to happen.

 

[BlueDejong]

We need this Oscar TheMan Bob..

Pep needs to give him minutes.

He impresses every time he plays.

How has he not seen the pitch in like the last 3 or 4 games? Or whatever minimal minutes he got.

Totally baffling. Why he was not brought on today is totally odd. If we don’t give him the minutes he will be off like Palmer.

This..

 

[Cobra]

He doesn’t get minutes because we didn’t spend big money on him, just like Palmer didn’t.

 

[come-on-barney]

Need a match winner but he stays on the bench. Baffling.

 

[hilts]

Hard to argue against that. Like foden it's the easy option to shunt him out wide.

Careful. The Pep homers will come for you for saying as much.

 

[Damanino]

would love to see him bit more. also Lewis. before they get fed up and do what Palmer did.

120 minutes of PL football for Bobb is not enough. (all from being subbed on, 0 starts)

with 5 subs available, even as subs they could be used bit more.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

He’ll end up going on loan or leaving. I just don’t see how he’s going to get enough minutes, before he gets frustrated with lack of game time.

yes he should be patient, but he’s barely playing at all. The odd game here and there isn’t enough for his development. It was the same with palmer, who should still be at city.

 

[sh249]

Would love to see him get more time, including a few starts here and there. He’s class.
Think part of the problem is that we’re not winning games as easily as in previous seasons. Even as we’ve been on this winning run, most of the matches have still felt a bit tight going into the last 10-15. Makes it harder to give him (and Lewis) minutes than it would be if we were regularly winning games by the 60-70 minute mark like in previous seasons.
