Overview

• Stale Solbakken faulted Bobb’s slow decisions, unusual positioning and weak pressing after moving him into midfield against New Zealand.
• The manager said Bobb was "very poor" and "lacking everything," yet the 22-year-old played the full 90 minutes in Oslo.
• The appearance was Bobb’s 14th cap, following a start in Norway’s 5-0 World Cup qualifying win over Israel days earlier.
• Bobb agreed with the post-match assessment, calling it a fair judgment of his performance.
• Media also highlighted training footage that appeared to show Erling Haaland challenging Bobb’s effort, as Norway and Manchester City track his form ahead of City vs Everton on October 18 and qualifiers next month.
