2025/26 Jake O'Brien

[Hellerad]

He's simply not creative enough to play RB in modern day football. You need some creativity at least. Also creates more space for Dibling or whoever is on the right wing.

Pretty damn solid defensively at RB though.

Valid but tactics can shift. Between Dibling posing an attacking threat and JOB being so secure, we won’t get any focus down that flank. JOB can also position as support for the midfield and release somebody in the midfield to push higher.

anybody got a clip of O'Brien seeing Mitoma off I missed it.

Would like to see him sending mitouma for the echo again, was class in game seeing it, kept him and minty very quiet.

If I could grab it I would. He just sort of kind of bodies him, so there's this mass that shoves a much smaller mass that then loses it's legs and Jake is in possession throughout. Doesn't look back, just carries on, not even a shrug or a look or anything, total concentration. I sense the effects of hurling. £18m could end up looking like prime value.

I think this is it,

mitoma cried off for a foul he aint getting

It matches where the cameras were looking down near side. So it's just before our second. I think*.

As assured as he was against Brighton, even Nathan Fatterson pocketed Mitoma so I don't think we can rate it as a worldie performance.

clip?

 

[Rita_Poon]

clip?

I've tried, I swear I have, I can't get it. If you get the full match I'll zone in on it pretty quick.

I like O’Brien as a defender and not his thought, but his breaking up so much of our attacking play with his passing.

 

[Jadubsee]

Really need an actual RB, I like Jake a lot but he's sticking out in the wrong way here

 

[Ming the Merciful]

Looking every inch a cb playing out of position.

Yeah. I said this before not too many posts ago.

We definitely need a proper right back.

We won't see the best of Dibling or Ndiaye or whoever is on the right, with JOB as a partner.

Not comfortable enough on the ball or passing the ball

Looks more and more like a cb playing rb...100% priority...our weak spot in this team today. Get a proper rb and we are cooking.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Probably the poorest I've seen him play so hopefully he sorts it out second half

 

[BigBeto1]

The biggest problem with him is that during attacking moves he’s 10 yards deeper than he needs to be
