Got the impression from Carra's recent comments that he's questioning if the front 3 have had a good run [years] and change may now be needed.
Mainly questioning Bob more that the others. Maybe even that it was coming to the end of him as first choice. But I might have picked it up wrong.
Thought it was a bit harsh - don't think Bob is the only one out of form, though maybe he's the one most out of form.
Jürgen had already started Jota in some games, and he looks a really good option if any one of the front three is out of form. And if playing well enough, he can stay in the first XI.
So a front 4, from which we pick 3. Sooner he's back the better.
I wouldn’t take too much heed to what Carra says these days, his nose far to close to Sky’s Sphincter, I think it’s more down to fatigue rather than the three being done as a force, we have to take on board the amount of football and the intensity it has been played at for the last three seasons,
These last 6/7 months in particular have been difficult to say the least, apart from lockdowns #1 the players have been asked to play approximately every three days, to cram in the amounts of games scheduled with little time for recovery, rest, lack of time on the training pitches,etc, all that travelling for meaningless international duties, virtually no pre- season, in the end, ultimately something has to give, so it’s not really surprising that some bodies are showing signs of fatigue, and that in turn effects your mind, if you are fatigued physically you are equally fatigued mentally, especially if you are a elite athlete,
I think this is what we are seeing with Bobby in particular, I’m no expert or statistician but I’m fairly certain he covers more ground than most, maybe it’s just me but I don’t see him smile as much as he used to, where has his little flicks and tricks gone we used to gasp at, we don’t see much if any of that these days, and that’s down to lack of confidence which is a result of the aforementioned fatigue, that’s my take on it, it could be complete bollocks and smells of the same stuff Carra is sniffing, has anyone else have theory we can ponder over ?
