TBF Bobby is half the player when he is put put wide or as the #10 like yesterday. I don't think he's ever played really well for us in those positions. I understand the need defensively to have him on the pitch but i'd rather play someone else better in the position if we aren't using him as a striker where he is at his best. The biggest issue for me(and always has been) is that Bobby is really sloppy in possession and the deeper we play him, the more he's involved in build up the more trouble we're in when he inevitably gives the ball away under no pressure.

Whilst I do agree with you to an extent, bobby plays a high risk/high reward game. The polar opposite was carra. Bobby with our other 2 play quick passes, quick turns and little carrying with the ball at their considering how good all 3 are. That's a lot of the reason why 433 worked but maybe 4231 is looking a more suspect, less midfielders to cover.
