How about he scores some goals?? He gets slated because he doesnt actually score.

I'm sure he'd appreciate a cheer. sadly we can't give him one.

Strange article rant. The guy has been out of sorts for a year and half. Every now and then he will pull of a assist and if he's feeling lucky a goal but that is not enough.

Totally agree that he’s been getting too much stick than warranted. Especially, when Mane has been just as abysmal this season. With Jota now added competition, Bobby will become more of a squad player. However, his attributes as a false 9 will still be needed next season.

His goal output is nowhere near good enough for a centre forward playing for a top team. The criticism is deserved.

There was an article that said he is negative ten in expected goals, way below average expected of him from chances hes had. Mane is plus 6 n salah plus 2. Think thats the issue we dont want him to score boat loads just average amount . Manes been off form sure but still nowhere near as bad infront of goal.

Always felt he was very sloppy player at times. Sometimes itd take him 45 mins to complete a pass. Then he’d do something outrageous. What was always there was workrate n his pressing.

Thats my biggest issue with him this season hes not on the fromt foot with his pressing hes on his heels its reactionary rather than proactive pressing.

Thought it may be down to tiredness a long time ago might still be idk but hes dropped off massively in this regard from what im seeing. That said most the team have the efforts in some of the games were pathetic vs everton looked like they werent even bothered, not a word everytime pickford was time wasting told it all.

A lot of hunger and desire has gone from the team, even opposition fans noticed with the claims of caffeine doping etc. Somethings not been right behind the scenes im sure of that its not just the injury crisis though it hasnt helped.

Dno why, maybe they think theyve done enough. We know of salah n gini contract issues maybe its that? Fack knows but somethings not right.

Jota coming back will hopefully push him on as he will have some genuine competition.

His confidence is obviously low and he's having a tough time. It's not over for him, and Jimmy is right that he doesn't deserve the slaughtering he has had. As Jota is just returning I think Bobby may start tomorrow. He needs a good game, or quite rightly he will be dropped.

The guy has been absolutely class overall for us and has cemented his place in the clubs history with what he has achieved however i dont personally feel the output we have had from him the last 18 months or so has been enough for a guy leading the line for 1 of the best teams in europe.

Harry kane does all the things firmino does but chips in 20+ goals a season. Suarez was the same. When you are at the very top (as we have been the last couple of years) sometimes big decisions need to be made. Fergie did with the likes of beckham, van nistelrooy, keane.

I love the guy, always will, but if money is tight in the summer i would not be against his sale to generate funds to go alongside some investment from the owners to fund a new front man. I dont think that opinion warrants criticism. Its about evolving and that is an area that i feel we could evolve.

Nobody's saying he isn't a class player and we don't appreciate everything he has done for the club but he's tailed off massively. He shouldn't be starting games in his current form. It's as simple as that.
