Omar Marmoush— one of the best attackers in the Bundesliga.
Some personal observations.
THREAD.
For starters, Marmoush plays in a front 2 for Frankfurt— a lovely duo with Ekitike who's a bit Isak-esque in his associative play, dribbles, and runs.
Marmoush's role isn't restricted to a single zone— I've seen him run off the shoulder, play behind a CF or out wide.

- His incredible 1v1 game.
- Impacting different game states.
- Creating separation.
THREAD.
Savinho is one of my favourite wingers to analyse- not only is he ridiculously fun to watch but also incredibly intelligent in his actions- slows down when it's needed, and speeds up time at his own will.
In my view, he has both Grealish and Doku's best qualities.

Oscar Bobb: Manchester City's *NEXT* Academy Player to make it to the first team?
A thread on what I think his strengths are, and the type of player he *COULD* become.
🧵
Oscar Bobb's got a unique physical profile- strong upper body, nimble build that gives him a low centre of gravity.
