Here's the rub with Bobby. Currently I'm doing OK in the score predictor league table thingie, and if you're interested (as if anyone is) I've gone for us to beat Newcastle 4-0. Forget loyalty to Rafa and the indisputable fact that he knows how to drill a defence, they are sh!te. Just so I don't get accused of putting the boot into our old manager, THAT'S NOT HIS FAULT. I've said it a few times now, if he can get them into the top dozen that'll be a huge effort, even staying up will be commendable.
Anyway given that, I should think there's a good chance that WHOEVER plays for us at the weekend has a pretty good chance of getting themselves a goal or two. Obviously what I would do is drop Bobby and play one of Solanke, Sturridge or Mane centrally. I think for example if Sturridge plays from the start, he scores.
What I suspect will happen though, is Bobby will start and probably score at least once. Now I know there is the possibility to frame the argument that as he "needs confidence" it'll "do him the World of good" and obviously there's something in that, but I genuinely think that against bus parkers who are better at it than Newcastle, we really ought to be thinking about giving ourselves another viable STARTING option.
I'd play Sturridge, I think Jürgen will play Bobby. We'll win anyway, but I disagree with the boss on this one.*****
***** I don't think I know more about football than Jürgen, I don't think he takes any notice of what I think, I don't think he SHOULD take any notice of what I think, I haven't spoken to Jürgen about his intentions, I haven't got the same amount or even 1% of information about the players as Jürgen, I don't hate Jürgen, I don't hate Bobby, I don't want to stroke anyones cock, all opinions expressed are merely mine and mine only, and are a guess.
