Chido Obi | Match Discussion Thread 2024/25

[SuperRash]

Only a fleeting performance today but with our injury list growing by the day, he may well get a few more little chances before the season it out.

Scores the winner against Arsenal. You read it here first.

Would love to see it

First chance to have a proper look at him. As has been stated elsewhere on the forum, he’s raw. He’s not ready to start games. He would have been nervous, so perhaps I’m being a little harsh.

 

[JammyRed]

Looked a bit over awed but needs little cameos to see how he responds

 

[SuperRash]

Yeah looked every bit a raw 17 year old.

Good to see him getting minutes as a youth player but nowhere near ready at the present time.

 

[SuperRash]

More than decent cameo. It’s always an acid test being thrown into the first team as a young lad but definitely put himself about and forced a brilliant save from Leno.

For anyone that watches the youth teams know he’s super exciting.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Yeah, decent cameo. He wasn’t overly involved in hold up/link play but he came alive in the penalty area, was a threat and nuisance.

Seemed to energise the crowd and the team. It was noticeable that Zirkzee started to press more effectively, as he saw Garnacho and Chido pressing too. It was telling that 17 year old Chido was able to use his strength to harass Calvin Bassey and Hojlund couldn't or wouldn't. He is making a compelling to star the next game.

 

[Matt Varnish]

I was impressed with him, the lad knows he is fighting for a place, and in my book he's winning, Amorim needs to put his faith in some of these youngsters.

Unfortunately that won't be possible

 

[Mr C]

Just seen a stat, dubious source

He had 3 big chances in 52 mins. Hojlund has had 3 in 22 games

 

[Jayc1860]

It sounds about right to me.

Hojlund simply must be benched.

Yeah Fletcher over Chido looks a shocker, doesn't matter we have Hojlund and Zirkzee either
