2025/26 Jake O'Brien

People are complaining about mykolenko...this guy is bang average. With not having signed a proper rb, and moyes reluctant to play anybody else but obrien at rb, those 40 points can't come quick enough...no way we are top half with the huge gaps of quality at cf and rb.
 


Games like this we see the downsides of playing a giant CB at RB. He's done a job there on the whole but it seriously limits us at times going both ways and its even worse when Tarkowski is clearly struggling as you have two similar type of players lumbering after fast wingers.
 

Poor game, two individual errors and outpaced by Summerville.

Moyes really needed to take Ndiaye earlier, didn't track back and left O'Brien 1v2 on the counter.
 
Massively exposed against their blisteringly fast LW/LB combo. Needed more help though.

At the end of the day he’s a CB and no one can tell me otherwise. Us not signing a proper attacking right back was a big failure of the window.
 
No cover from Ndiaye all night...Ndiaye was shocking tonight, in attack and defence.

I also thought that there was well enough on the header back to Pickford but he was rooted and should have dominated that situation more.

That said, he was up against a class act tonight in Summerville and got done a few times.

It happens.
