Personally though he got better as the game went on yesterday - probably due to Fulham tiring, losing a bit of shape, space opening up and him drifting around a lot more.
Might have had something to do from my perspective from the left side in the second half, but it felt like during that period he was drifting out there a lot more and therefore getting a bit more space, a few more touches and having more influence. Aside from the goals a little bit of magic on two occasions from Bobby were probably the parts of the game that made me smile/laugh the most, one little trick and rabona on the left in particular.
I wouldn't say he's been BAD this season, but I haven't seem him hit the heights of last season yet. I think there's been games where he's had next to no space, where team-mates movement/sharpness/own form has let his play down and there's definitely been games, or periods within games where his usually exemplary first touch has been wayward.
We still look at our most dangerous when he gets the ball in that advanced 8/10 position and runs at the defence. It usually, like yesterday, leads to one or two players dragging defenders about and him spotting the ball into the space that's left - see Robbo's shot that was saved in second half.
No concerns here, he remains in the top 3 or 4 most important players for this team, if not higher. I think he'll get better and better as the season goes on and confidence grows.
Fair to point out and talk about performances not hitting last years yet, as long as the good moments are included for balance as well.
