Man City No2 Lillo admits big hopes for Bobb

Manchester City's stand-in boss Juanma Lillo has spoken about talented youngster Oscar Robb.

Lillo is filling in for boss Pep Guardiola, who is recovering from a small surgery at home.

With 20-year-old Bobb getting a chance as a substitute in a 5-1 win over Fulham, Lillo explained the club's view of his talent.

"We have great expectations for Oscar, he's won his place in the side through talent, he's very alive on the pitch, very daring, he's someone who can play on the inside and the outside," said City's assistant to reporters.

"But we need to be calm, we need to give him his time and he has to be patient himself and give himself that time, but it's another great player we've got that's come from the academy and we expect big things."
