Unbelievable Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Whilst that may be true it doesn't detract from the fact his goals kept us up that year. He was a 1 in 3 striker in his time with us, often our only real outlet and we more or less got our money back for him in the end. As far as I know he's never spoken badly about the club or the fans, so I don't understand the hatred personally, but each to their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I dont think its hatred, just people recognising that he was erratic most of the time. Would have been interesting to see him in a half decent team and not the mess we were in at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll always have a place in my heart for that goal against Spurs like. I will never forget him rattling the crossbar at Anfield from a fairly innocuous throw in about 40 yards out in the right channel. Consistently inconsistent, which became more and more of a problem as we slipped down the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I loved Oba when he was here, was a bit blind to all his faults if I'm honest (young and naive). He was one of the better, more exciting players we had during a dull period. He was massively inconsistent and I can see watching him now for other clubs, he isn't a very good footballer!
