David James believes that Manchester City wonderkid Oscar Bobb and Erling Haaland have great chemistry on the pitch, despite City’s 3-2 defeat to AC Milan. Haaland’s partnership with Kevin De Bruyne has already become legendary, with the pair ranking highly among the Premier League’s greatest attacking duos. Haaland’s movement and finishing make him an easy striker to play alongside, especially for players with the vision and passing range of De Bruyne.
While not every player can develop a telepathic understanding with Haaland like De Bruyne, other City players like Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish have shown glimpses of it. David James observed how well Bobb and Haaland linked up during the match against AC Milan, with Bobb assisting Haaland’s goal. The duo’s understanding of each other’s game was evident in their quick and effective play on the pitch, raising the possibility of them being unleashed as a duo in the upcoming season.
Bobb’s understanding of Haaland’s game was highlighted by his assist for the striker’s goal against Milan, and their partnership seems to be growing. With Bobb impressing in pre-season and showing his understanding of Haaland’s game, there is potential for the pair to play more in tandem in the 2024/2025 campaign. James suggested that Pep Guardiola may need to consider introducing Bobb and Haaland as a duo from the start of the season, given their effective partnership on the pitch.
