West Ham Online

What on earth has happened to him.

Absolutely shocking once again today. Do feel like he’s past it at this point.

I find the stick Jarrod is receiving from some of our 'fans' embarrassing .
It's one of them where you despair

 

Fella's not past it at all, silly talk. As captain, he is almost certainly aware of the financial mess we've gotten into, and the consequences of that for himself and several other key players. The upheaval on his family life will be significant, on top of which, I doubt he actually 'wants' to go anywhere else.

Sullivan is engineering this mess, I'm sure; he is looking for any excuse to sell the family silver. This club will never prosper until he and Brady fk off down the road and give us a fresh start with new owners. I'd love to think we can stay up, but we are just falling short every time we get a favourable wind. 

When we survive, he will be very important in doing so. 

He'd be the ideal replacement for Salah at Liverpool. Not that I'd want to see it but would make sense. Could even see him at Man Utd if they cleared some out. Personally I hope he hangs his boots up with us.

Past it?...don't be ridiculous.....I think being captain has weighed him down, pointless adding that pressure on him.

His 'babies' must be preschool now. 
The Mrs needs to get off her phone and take them for a run around the park, Calpol for their tea.

I think he's he had a tough season and fatigued, but he is past his peak now.

Hopefully gash Pablo will be back soon, as it's all gone tits up since he's been out.

He looks jaded and it's affecting his timing and decision-making. I don't go along with the theory that he's looking for a move. The sad thing is that if his dip in form carries on, he's got no chance of going to the World Cup and he won't get a top club coming in for him.

Bollocks
Shakes head, closes thread and forgets about it.

Don't know what the fuss is about.
He was unlucky that Allison's pass that hit him didn't go in, he was in the right place chasing the keepere down.Created a great chance for Soucek by beating two defenders,assist for Taty's goal.
If people want to blame someone look at AWB's closing down for every attack. Gakpo's goal was because he was to lazy and scared to face the shot. He's defending like this most of the season.
Bowen was miles better than Salah too.

He has been carrying the attack until Summerville’s recent goals and teams tend to double team him as our only goal threat
See him quite close up in home games and has recently looked fatigued or carrying a knock
Ironically Pablo being out (who people don’t rate) has messed up our attack where he and Taty have worked hard & occupied defenders creating space for Summerville & Bowen

Maybe it's time to give it another go through the middle, he' contributing fuck all on the right.

If we go down, and he doesn't go to the World Cup, he'll give us another season, unless the board insist on selling him. Until the season ends his mind is only on West Ham.

Play him upfront with Taty against Fulham. I think it could work.

Bowen would not get in the team at Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool.

NONSENSE
