These are finely tuned athletes, sitting on their arse for 3 months wouldn’t be good for them anyway, let alone the fact it was the beginning of a world wide pandemic
If you don’t think all footballers currently aren’t playing well below their levels then you are just ignoring the obvious
You can tell with simply your eyes that football isn’t being played at the same intensity currently but the numbers back it up to, I was reading last week that the number of defensive actions is about a third down, the about of presses the same, sprints down by over 35%
That’s across all football
Maybe they are all using the same “excuse”
Have a read of this https://statsbomb.com/ you might find it interesting or in the least it may make you rethink reactive gestures
, so playing too much is bad and playing too little is bad as well,
I guess its just impossible to criticise Bobby then!! What an utter load of nonsense the rest of the post was. There are plenty of players playing extremely well this season, the entire City team for example.
As for strikers, it doesn't seem to have affected Kane, Rashford, Son, Salah and many others as much as it has Bobby, again why is that?
Just stop making excuses for him please, he is in a terrible run of form right now, it does not take away from his previous contributions to the team and club, but on current form he should be dropped and I think he will be as soon as Jota is fully fit.
