A new addition to Pep Guardiola’s squad
Following the departures of Riyad Mahrez and Cole Palmer in the summer, along with all the injuries suffered this season, City have often been short on numbers in attack.
But there are reasons why Pep Guardiola keeps his squad small and one of them is so it’s easier for talented youngsters to get a chance.
Bobb has been given the opportunity this season, playing 16 times so far, and he has really impressed.
The Norwegian hasn’t been blow away amazing, other than his great goal against Newcastle, but he hasn’t needed to be.
In fact, it may actually be more impressive that someone so young has just seamlessly fitted into the side and doesn’t look out of place in the slightest.
Bobb has a lot of learning to do but it looks as though his playing time and responsibilities are only going to increase in the weeks and months to come.
With Bobb and Lewis alone, the future looks very bright for City.
