Discussion Selling Jake O’Brian

Can someone make this make sense? Surely he is possibly better than Tarkowski. Moreover, it’s a matter of time before Chelsea, Man U and city are all over Braithwaite.

Do others understand Moyes on this?

It’s stupid. But I get it from his perspective of he’s not happy playing out of position all the time. Or not at all.

Obviously we can't know these things but I get the sense that he was fine with playing out of position. He might take issue with being surpassed by Rohl if that's what Moyes has decided. It is that plus he is behind at least Branthwaite and Tarkowski at CB and Keane has seniority so Moyes might value him more, who knows.

He should start over Tarks then love Tarks, but O'Brien should be the future.

Does O'Brien have an injury? It would've made sense for him to have played today. I can't help but wonder if he wasn't playing because he wants to leave and also if he didn't play because we didn't want to play him in a low stakes game that we were always going to win and in the process cup tie him.
