2025/26 Jake O'Brien

[Vagner Love]

Least we get to see a natural rb next game, unless moyes throws Keane in there which wouldn’t shock me

 

[ToffeeTim]

He is nowhere near good enough to play right back

 

[dannyboy]

Really poor from him that. Gets caught out far too much at right back for a player that barely gets across the half way line.

 

[BullensRoad]

Not having that as a red card. It was a fair challenge.

 

[pfim]

Tough to blame him frankly. No midfield pressure, and his RCB is never getting there to help. Shouldn't be playing RB, but no help either.

 

[james2805]

Not sure how he didn't deal with it before it became a fault tbh. Looked an easy clean up until he let it come across him

 

[ToffeeTim]

Entirely on Moyes for playing someone so poor at the position

 

[DualityNSNO]

Square pegs in round holes is fine, yeah.

Worse than any Patterson appearance ever, and the fact he was so bad as a full back meant they have the right side all to themselves, even Mykolenko offers more.

 

[DanEFC92]

Least I'm spared watching him at full back for one game.

Sick to death of it.

 

[dannyboy]

The worst thing you can say about him is we've actually played so much better since he went off. Scary how playing with 10 is better than playing with him at rb.

 

[Only-Blue-toffees]

Hopefully now we will play Paterson a proper RB going forward. O’Brien just isn’t a RB why does Moyes keep playing him. We even have Aznou maybe he could fill in there if need be but no Moyes doesn’t like youngsters

 

[GoldenToffee]

Nothing against the lad but hopefully that's three games out?

That said, Moyes will probably drop Garner to right back instead of.. actually playing a right back at right back.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

works fine him at RB when we’re away and under the cosh but shouldn’t be starting there at home games!

 

[maccavennie]

Patterson will come in for 1 game, do ok and then it'll be O'Brien again back in and out of position.

 

[optatom154]

Who on earth was he marking for that first goal - Every time we get it out wide it's 2 v 1 but he's stood in middle of nowhere, as poor as Ndiaye was for it he had the chance to double up
