Is it time for him to cement the position up top for us?

It seemed to work well once he was moved up as Striker with Kudus in his more familiar wide right position, typified straight away in the goal that was scored.

With Summerville flying down the left, the front 3 looked balanced and a constant threat.

I'd give it another go against Southampton to see if they can continue on from the 2nd half attacking like that.

I would say he's one of the quickest players in the prem, but he's not immune to criticism, i.e holding onto the ball when other players maybe are in a better position.

Having said that if he had that yard of pace he probably wouldn't be playing for us.

What a load of tripe.

I think Twoleftfeet found Bowen hanging out the back of his old dear.

The cսnt thinks we should sell our best player and captain this January and is now claiming he's lost a yard of pace

Fucking mong.

Hopefully Taty and Pabloe can lift some pressure off Bowen. Additionally, the emergence of Summerville's form too. For too long, we have relied too much on Bowen. He is bang out of form and is bucking under the weight of being captain and our only real genuine attacking threat.

Every manager and every player knows that you dont let him shoot with his left peg if possible bit he keeps trying and ends up losing the ball or it simply gets blocked and wastes too mamy attacking opportunities. Decision making in other words. He’d be better going wide more and getting in crosses as he did but only a couple of times.

Still our best attacking player but needs to learn that he does not have to score a goal every time he attacks

In the past few games, I think Summerville has got over his injury problems and is our best attacking player out there.

I’d like to see Bowen more central and closer to Summerville rather than being stuck out on the wing and as you say Alf very predictable from there, they know how to mark him.

IF Bowen and Summerville could develop a partnership now the latter is playing well and has good energy levels, they could well bag quite a few goals between them.

I’d put Taty on the right who also has an engine, but would say at this early stage he isn’t as good in front of goal as Bowen. Saying that he put that header away well yesterday!

Pep will coach that out of Bowen..........probably?

He did work hard, made a lot of runs, looked like he wanted the ball, but, as I have said on the match thread he seems to have put some timber on and lost a bit of pace. That is first and foremost his responsibility to be as fit as possible but also down to the backroom staff to ensure that as well. Still don't think he is a captain though

Incidentally, you’ve taken issue with his official site statement today. One assumes you are intelligent enough to realise the club, like all others, has a dedicated PR team that decide and run these exercises, but having seen some of your ramblings, it’s extremely dubious that you are.

You’re scapegoating the wrong person by some distance. It’s incredibly bizarre.

What you've tried to do here is find a complicated way to insult me and make yourself look intelligent.

What you've actually done is demonstrate that you're a pompous cսnt.

Not sure there was anything complicated about it.

We get it, you hate everything about the club, to the extent you’ve now taken a dislike to just about the only thing to like about the club. A bloke whose goal ended a trophy drought, among other things.

Your ramblings are fucking boring, and in this case completely misguided.

Happy for you to think I’m a pompous cսnt on that basis.

I never said it was complicated, I said you tried to make it so but once again you have to over elaborate because you are, in fact, a pompous cսnt.

Fuck off with the "form" bollocks.

He kicks a football for a living. On the hierarchy of complex skills it's pretty fucking low.

You've never heard a brain surgeon apologize for killing 10 people this month because his " form" dropped.

Yes Bowens is off form. Still must start,great player. We need him to find his form and seriously want to see him in the USA.
First on team sheet. No worries.

People turning on Bowen. Madness. The bloke carries us and is surrounded by shit.

Scored the goal to win us our first trophy since 1980. Gives everything every week. Chasing down our top PL goalscorer record.

Wonder what else he needs to do to have been a great player for us.
