      With Dijk and Thiago likely out for at least a few matches, maybe itā€™s a decent time to try something like this with Bobby...

                   Adrian
      Trent Gomez Matip Robbo
             Hendo Fabinho
          Salah Firmino Mane
                     Jota

      Or Fabinho in defence with Gini next to Hendo.

      I am convinced this Season will be the last one you see the front 3 together on a regular basis

      I'm convinced our front 3 next Season will be Sadio Mbappe and Mo.

      I love Bobby but we need an out an out goal scorer up there.

      Sadio gets his 20-30, Mo gets his 20-30 and Mbappe in our Team, will get 40-50. convinced!!

      Don't smoke no weak sh*t

      It's gonna happen mate. I'm telling ya. Will get excited when it does but for now, I just want Bobby to bang in one, then I think the floodgates might open for him.

      Not gonna lie, it saddens me how quickly our supporters turn on their own.

      Iā€™m going to continue to be optimistic that Bobby still has plenty to give and a big part to play. Itā€™s not like heā€™s forgotten how to play or lost any technical skill so likely he will come good.

      I would never give up on Bobby so don't put words in my mouth.  :f_steam: :f_steam: >:( :(

      He can be our Number 10 for me and Mbappe as our 9. Wow, now that would be sensational!

      I don't understand how debating a player's form and contribution is 'turning on our own'.

      He's a world class player who's been woefully out of form for a few months now - it's bound to lead to debate and it certainly doesn't mean people aren't supporting him.

      For what it's worth I think he'll turn it around but now might be a good time to take him out of the firing line a bit and try another option - especially at a time where we'll need goals as we adjust to life without Van Dijk.

      You'd have to break your wage structure to get Mbappe Ian, not happening.

      Yup no way we're signing Mbappe for that very reason.

      We will go for Sancho in the Summer and play Mo centrally.

      A lot of people arenā€™t debating his form though, and even the ones that are are embellishing how ā€œbadā€ heā€™s been. Itā€™s like no one understands what Klopp looks for from Bobby.

      Either way, Iā€™m not going to be one of the ones piling on and throwing him under the bus. Heā€™s still an important player for us and if heā€™s in the starting lineup itā€™s because Klopp obviously sees something that we all donā€™t because he has other options for Bobbyā€™s spot.

      What's happened to him? He's a shadow of his former self.

      The Jesus crew have fu**ed him.

      Hasn't been the same since Alisson baptised him!!

      Bobby is the first player subbed off now in games for Jota. It's only a matter of time before Jota starts ahead of Bobby once he has adapted fully. Unless Bobby has a dramatic upturn in form and starts playing to the level he is capable of again.

      isn't it nice to have genuine forward options.

      What he needs to start doing is scoring a higher % of his chances. That's all really. His work off the ball is grand and everything and of course he vacated space for the 2 wide forwards to go into, but when hes in the middle of the goal with only the keeper to beat he needs to bury a few more than he is at the moment.

      I love the man, I just donā€™t think heā€™s the forward we need right now, back when we were building it was a blessing to have him because of his work rate and tracking back, with our midfield now, we donā€™t need that... we need a forward thinking predator in front of goal... an Mbappe type.

      Heā€™s the forward to bring on when you need to finish a game out, or when you know youā€™re going to get pegged back, which is rare for us.

      Bobby is a shadow of the player he was two seasons ago. Work rate has dropped, goals have dried up, no pace, link up play not what it was, fancy flicks not working.

      Not sure how much worse he has to get before JĆ¼rgen benches him.
