2025/26 Jake O'Brien

Need a RB. He’s a CB.

Play Garner there and get Armstrong on the pitch. Not Jakes fault, getting a bit found out today.

Coleraine Toffee · August 30, 2025

Running into trouble a lot and getting caught out. He's done a great solid job for us at RB but we do need someone else out there long term.

Slow slow quick quick slow

Yep. Could use a natural RB in possession. Jake is limited.

Very poor today

Could be due to the new baby.

One of the worst games I have seen him play.

millow1878 · August 30, 2025

doing well but need a footballer and pace because we are going to play a lot of footfall this year.

Hes great though.

StateSideToffee · August 30, 2025

Not his best showing today.

Really need a new RB, as this lad needs to be playing CB as he should be solidifying himself as the 1st choice CB with Branthwaite injured.

I thought Coleman should have been on at HT tbh.

We need a new RB who can attack and we need to see O'Brien get his career started at Everton as a CB.

JobForTheMoyes · August 30, 2025

We need him where he is and for Branthwaite to come back in. The defensive system last season was brilliant and quite innovative.

Eggs · August 30, 2025

…..thought he was decent yet again. My word, that permanent stern face must terrify his opponents.

We all want an orthodox RB but it’ll be difficult leaving this fella out the side. The obvious solution is if Moyes puts him in central defence for Keane but he’s looking quite assured as well.

Efcjake · August 30, 2025

He did a good job last year but nobody wanted to start the season with him still out on the right if we are being honest here.

Was about to say that. Before today he has looked solid, got forward when he could under tough circumstances.

Moyes will like his set piece threat as well. Took a while for Baines to replace lescott at LB. Would expect O’Brien to get plenty minutes still even if a RB is brought in.
