Manchester City: Oscar Bobb
“What he’s done in 120 minutes has been the best of any City player,” said former goalkeeper David James when assessing the performances of City’s players against Celtic and then AC Milan, a pair of games that featured three assists and a goal from the Norwegian.
He was quieter v Barcelona and it was Nico O’Reilly who claimed the plaudits from Pep Guardiola, but there is no doubt that Oscar Bobb (he must always be full-named) has advanced his cause in the United States. And he needed to advance his cause after a season that saw him start just two Premier League games.
There is already talk of Chelsea trying to repeat their Cole Palmer trick with Bobb, who would be wise to follow him if he spends another season on the fringes at City.
