Joel Chukwuma Obi

[rockball]

He fought for the ball, took on defenders. I think he did better than Coutinho.

 

[Stefan]

The only bright spot today. I was very happy with his performance.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yep. He brought some urgency, even strength and mostly, LEGS. His movement is totally different compared to for example Zanetti and Cambiasso and to some extend Motta and Stankovic too. I'd like to see players like Obi in our midfield in the future, players who have some strength and also enough legs to compete physically out there.

I was quite happy with Obi tonight. Proud with the tackles and challenges he took like a man.

 

[The_Eradicator]

He always looks good when he actually gets on the field, hopefully he gets a start soon hell he can't do any worse than the guys already running around the pitch!

Yeah, that is what I like very much, I couldn't find the words for my impression from him but you did it.

:thumbsup:

Really enjoyed watching him. Not afraid of anyone, and willing to go through the ball rather than step back and wait for it to be played -- took his chance well imo, hopefully there will be more to come.

 

[Besnik]

I agree with you guys above, he was decent tonight.

 

[Efrain21C]

he was simply better than most of the players out there, didn't looked nervous, but for some moments he remembered me of

The only bright spot today. I was very happy with his performance.

i dont agree... Santon was the another bright spot today

 

[DIN011]

What I like about is that he has both strength and speed and that he's also a fighter. He deserves to start against Lecce, especially considering our injuries.

I was hoping for him to play, but due to circumstances I wasn't

 

[Wallace]

I think he's more suited playing the ball winner role like today than playing on the wing. I really like what I saw today, keep it up.

 

[uny_arturo]

He did at least three clean and crucial tackles. I'm very impressed. Obi>Nawanko at any time of the day.

^ that was a monster shot. Would have torn the roof off the San Siro if it had gone in.

 

[Ziyad]

Good job from Obi,Benitez should have trusted him instead of playing JZ all alone and that ludicrous Pandev.

 

[Maryam]

Great game by him.
I was sceptical when he was subsituted in, but he put in a great performance.

 

[Dylan]

His back leg looks so skinny.

 

[Suneet]

Super performance, we have quality players, its time to showsome faith in Obi, Obiorah, Santon
