2024/25 Jake O'Brien

[RomanReigns]

Very good player

Very good player

….he’s been terrific, just hope he’s as effective at CB.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I really look forward to him playing higher up the pitch rather than as a defender. He’s so tall and strong. Must be a nightmare to cover.

Got the goal and I think almost set one up after his mate Lindstrom comes on.

WTF Moyes was playing at splitting that partnership up I dont know.

Especially to play Harrison on the right.

If Harrison must play, he looks better when played on the left wing.

Had a terrible season, Harrison. Pity that, I thought he'd be a real asset this season.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I agree. Moyes sucks. I absolutely would do the exact opposite of every decision he makes, even decisions he hasn’t made yet. I already disagree with what he’s going to think tomorrow.

 

[Rita_Poon]

I know this should have nothing to do with it, but I like O'Brien that much more as he not only playing extremely well, he is also showing how incompetent Dyche was.

Moyes clearly saw something in just 5 or 6 training sessions to see that he needed to play O'Brien, and started him at RB. Moyes would have been crucified if O'Brien would have been at fault for goals or if he played poorly out of position, so he must have really have been that good in those training sessions.

Unless he knew of him before his return here?

I’m sure he did. Once Moyes was confident he’d get the Everton role, he had to be talking to sources, watching past film, highlight reels of the new guys, and what Dyche had done thus far. He no doubt came in with a plan.

I reckon he was on a few managers radar before his move to Lyon.

 

[SJB]

A very confident performance from him, he's definitely growing into the RB role.

 

[BlueBarrow]

Undoubtedly can eventually take over Tarks role and give us some more versatility and options.
God alone knows why Dyche never seemed to rate him.
Having an excellent run. Well done lad.

On a long list of baffling Dyche decisions this one is up there with the most baffling.

Size + speed = win.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

My player of the season. Typifies what we've been about - dead under Dyche and a resurgence under Moyes.
