News about Oscar Bobb

Kevin de Bruyne has been benched for Manchester City's Champions League game at Real Madrid on Tuesday after feeling unwell. Pep Guardiola's side made four changes from the side that beat Crystal Palace on Saturday, but the most eye-catching is the omission of the Belgian. Rico Lewis, Julian Alvarez and Oscar Bobb also miss out, with Manuel Akanji, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Mateo Kovacic coming in for the Bernabeu clash.  

JACK GAUGHAN: The timing of the change revealed a great deal about how Bobb is perceived around the City Football Academy. The Premier League champions are usually reluctant to reach new contracts this season, citing that they want players who are entirely focused on the job at hand. That's backed up by Kevin De Bruyne and Julian Alvarez, the only other current celebrities to have penned their new contracts after October in a campaign. Both people are known for their balancing temperaments.

JACK GAUGHAN: Manchester City is close to tying down Oscar Bobb to a new long-term contract. Mail Sport reports that after breaking into Pep Guardiola's side this season, the 20-year-old is expected to soon commit his future to the Premier League champions. Bobb, a Norway international, scored his first league goal last month at Newcastle United, with a dramatic last-gasp winner.

Even by the highest of circumstances, Manchester United's ship is moving quickly right now. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been dubbed a 'guy in a hurry' by the billionaire and his INEOS aides as they attempt to reform the power system at Old Trafford. It doesn't take an INEOS root and branch review to realize that recruiting is one key area where United have been failing in the last decade.

Julian Alvarez of Manchester City is 9/2 with Sky Bet to place first in his team's fourth round FA Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur in London tonight. Oscar Bobb, Alvarez's teammate, is next at 15/8 and 6/1 respectively. In contrast, Spurs' Richarlison is the lowest-priced home run, with the Brazilian 11/4 to find the back of the net at any time and 9/1 to score first.

JACK GAUGHAN AT ST JAMES' PARK: People were outraged again by Manchester City's acceptance of Cole Palmer's departure, but not with the reason given. Oscar Bobb came to the Premier League in the 91st minute with understated brilliance, and a winner earned him the pep Guardiola's tawny. Bobb has been in the Treble winners' first-team squad all season, making seven league appearances and scoring his first Champions League goal last month, but this is the time he came to the big stage.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Newcastle has some well-known flaws. However, there are also some old and familiar strengths. Here was a match that showcased what makes them so good, but also explained why their form is so bad. Since the 85th minute, a quarter of their goals conceded this season have come. A tactical flaw?Or a sign of fatigue in light of injuries? Both are correct. However, there was plenty on Saturday to remind you why Eddie Howe's team finished fourth last year and that they may have continued to do so if not for a list of absentees that refuses to fall below double figures. Newcastle is a match for the world's best squad when fit and functioning. They looked fit for more than an hour, and Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon scored two spectacular goals. With 19 minutes to go, they were in front, but few make it as far as Manchester City. So, why did they veer off track? Kevin De Bruyne scored City's equalizer and made Oscar Bobb's champion, but also for reasons that are both forgivable and less so.

On Saturday afternoon, Erling Haaland celebrated Man City's win over Newcastle in the most Erling Haaland way possible. The 23-year-old actor is struggling with a foot injury that left him unable to walk after last month's loss to Aston Villa, but he seems to be doing all he can to support his recovery.

In Saturday's loss at St James' Park, Eddie Howe said his Newcastle team struggled to match Manchester City's second half acuity, while Kevin de Bruyne led the visitors to win. Alexandar Isak and Anthony Gordon scored out Bernardo Silva's spectacular opener before City responded with a Kevin de Bruyne equalizer and Oscar Bobb's stoppage time champion. Howe described the loss after the match as'very, very painful,' and that Newcastle could not produce in the second half.

JACK GAUGHAN AT ST. JAMES' PARK: Kevin de Bruyne, who made a 21-minute appearance (equipping and then assisting), showed what Pep Guardiola has been missing all season. De Bruyne sent a 'crazy' message to the Premier League on a dramatic comeback from five months injured, as Oscar Bobb's last-gasp champion named Manchester City second.

PARK JACK GAUGHAN AT ST JAMES' PARK: When Pep Guardiola asked for Oscar Bobb to help guide the course of a barmy night in Manchester City's favour, he didn't have many words for him. The 20-year-old told me to come on and score.' 'I'm glad I could.' There's no pressure, but Guardiola has a lot of confidence in the Norwegian, who signed for City's academy from Valerenga in 2019, has been consistent over the past few months.

Phillips got off to a good start in their 3-2 victory over Red Star Belgrade, with City's promotion of the Champions League to knockout stage already confirmed. Micah Hamilton and Oscar Bobb scored for Pep Guardiola's team before Phillips won the victory from the penalty spot in the 85th minute.

KATHRYN BATTE AT STADIUM RAJKO MITIC (KathyN BATTE): Try reminding Manchester City's children that this was a lost rubber game. On the European stage, the club's academy graduates shone, with Micah Hamilton and Oscar Bobb scoring their first senior goals to help City defeat the second English team to lift all six of their Champions League group matches. Kalvin Phillips, who also scored his first City goal with a second half penalty, was also ecstatic. City had already secured a prime position ahead of their final match against Red Star Belgrade, who were expected to finish last regardless of their finish. While little was at stake, this turned into an amusing experience for Hamilton and Bobb, a night to remember.

Manchester City's journey to Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League is followed by Mail Sport's live blog for the latest scores, team news, and highlights.
