He's gassed like the other two of our front three. Jota can't come back quick enough.

wemmick · « **Reply #13041 on:** February 20, 2021, 07:36:00 pm »

He looks done to me. Just very little left to give.

Coolie High · « **Reply #13042 on:** February 20, 2021, 07:36:13 pm »

He needs to be on the bench, fast becoming one of the least threatening attackers in the league.

Amazing how bad his finishing is.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #13044 on:** February 20, 2021, 07:38:28 pm »

Have no hope of him scoring when he's in on goal. Seems to be either massively inaccurate or a pea roller to the goalie.

Mo will end up with a back injury soon after carrying the other two all season.

Basically played with 10 men today. He was non existent.

HeartAndSoul · « **Reply #13046 on:** February 20, 2021, 07:44:12 pm »

His shooting is abysmal. Like I said before nowadays you get a good performance out of him once every 10 games if you're lucky. Klopp is going to have to be ruthless to quite a few of these players come summer time

AndyMuller · « **Reply #13047 on:** February 20, 2021, 07:44:39 pm »

Shoots with the power of a 10 year old.

Kopenhagen · « **Reply #13048 on:** February 20, 2021, 07:46:49 pm »

Have some sympathy - he's played an outrageous amount of football the last few years - but if we're not in the market for a 9 this summer, someone's not doing their job.

I think Bobby could do with a bit of sunshine, some players just can't handle the dark winter. Whether that means sending him off on a sun holiday until the end of the season or finding a new club, who knows. But 1 game on, 6 games off, isn't going to work for us.

Bucko - Dubai · « **Reply #13050 on:** February 20, 2021, 07:53:31 pm »

Have to say for me today was the final straw with him

Has absolutely stunk the place out the last 12 months.

Fair enough he offers us other things, but for an attacker to be so poor at shooting is crazy

Against low block he is more or less pointless

Do feel out of any individual he is the main reason for this lack of form

Bit harsh that. I once scored six goals in a game aound the age of 10, with the power of my fifth goal forcing the goalkeeper to go off the pitch crying after it hit his face and went in.

The only thing Bobby is making cry at the moment is the empty seats.

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #13052 on:** February 20, 2021, 07:56:46 pm »

Since connecting with God, he has been incapable of connecting with more important things like the football when he's shooting.

I thought he'd be unstoppable after being baptised.

harryc · « **Reply #13053 on:** February 20, 2021, 07:57:26 pm »

Has been dire for way too long now.

I've said that we need to get a proper number 9 goal scorer and let Firmino play behind them. Firmino's work rate can be in incredible and he can create so many chances for others, but we can't just rely on Salah and Mane to an extent all the time for the goals.

Replacing him in the first eleven really has to be the priority this summer

Red_Irishman · « **Reply #13056 on:** February 20, 2021, 08:05:16 pm »

Jesus he’s bad. Has been for months now. He’d be nowhere near the team if we had anyone else.

His shooting is diabolical. I roared at the TV when he sliced one saying it better be a f*cking corner. It wasn’t.

diehard · « **Reply #13057 on:** February 20, 2021, 08:07:08 pm »

Just stick Salah upfront and Drop Firmino please I beg.

He is not at the end of any crosses nor does he work the last defender for the attack to pass it to him.

I understand if we were scoring goals for fun I wouldn’t mind him dropping off, but we are having a terrible time in the final third. So him doing all his sexy work isn’t working one bit.

Samie · « **Reply #13058 on:** February 20, 2021, 08:07:41 pm »

Should be sat on his arse on the bench next season.

Not a threat to score or create and frankly no longer good enough.

y2w902 · « **Reply #13065 on:** February 20, 2021, 08:44:14 pm »

Made it look like he won a competition to play up front today with some of his shooting!

AndyMuller · « **Reply #13066 on:** February 20, 2021, 08:49:04 pm »

He’s been shocking for ages but who replaces him in the front 3? Maybe shaq and put salah or mane upfront? It’s certainly not origi you put in as he’s even less effective.

Knight · « **Reply #13072 on:** February 20, 2021, 09:34:26 pm »

Jota isn’t the answer to all our problems but he’s hopefully the answer to some of them. It’ll be nice to have a player up front who’s able to shoot.

Crimson · « **Reply #13073 on:** February 20, 2021, 09:49:51 pm »

Bobby needs some competition and we desperately need som pace up top. Hopefully someone can come in and give Bobby a kick up the arse in the Summer.

Sir Psycho Sexy · « **Reply #13074 on:** February 20, 2021, 10:12:01 pm »

His shooting ... it's unexplainable

I wondered why he didn't take the chance in the first half on his left foot, then I found out why in the second half. But he still had a go on his right and he may as well have passed to Pickford.

It's depressing to watch

gatcliffe · « **Reply #13075 on:** February 20, 2021, 10:22:21 pm »

Is it me but does he always seem to be off balance when he has possession this season especially in final third ?

Trendisnotdestiny · « **Reply #13076 on:** February 20, 2021, 10:22:24 pm »

Win as a team --- lose as a bunch of miserable pack of wolves out to eat their own apparently.

The entire team missed opportunities - restarts, tap ins, mistimed runs, 1 v 1s. and the only thing this miserable lot can do it is come in here and slag off Bobby.

Sure, his finishing was poor today on his three-four shots (left footer is still flying over Anfield, right footer killed a few worms but made for some easy Pickings, and the blocked shots he had centrally we're on frame but we'll never know).

There is nothing more to say -- Bobby should have not allowed us to fall behind 1-0 in the 2nd min, nor should he have contributed to the build up play in our attacking third for entire game, or play 1 and 2s with Thiago in Gini breaking down the bus (giving us some chances).

Some ungrateful bastards.

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #13077 on:** February 20, 2021, 10:24:00 pm »

Stick a fork in him, he’s finished.

I’d rather go with Salah down the middle and Shaqiri out wide for the remainder of the season, it can’t be any worse.

Reckon its confidence/mental. He has no problem playing the most ridiculous passes and flicks and can easily receive any ball played straight at his back. But when he's got a clear line of sight on goal, he completely fucks it.

rakey_lfc · « **Reply #13079 on:** February 20, 2021, 10:38:15 pm »

If Bobby's finished then so is Sadio. Jota staying fit would've been enough to rotate a little and keep things fresh. It's no coincidence that our front 3, as a 3 aren't performing because Bobby isn't. For months we talked about him being the system and what he does for Mo and Sadio.
