Bowen Bowen is past it

Post Mad Ferret »

What on earth has happened to him.

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

If he played for Spurs I’m sure Ferret would rate him then.

Ally McCoist loves Jarrod doesn't he..not surprised ...likely reminds him of himself when he was playing.

I wouldn't ever say he is a great Captain or anything of the like, however I do believe he is the best available who leads well by example. A bit underrated in that respect as he can inspire the Team by setting the tone from minute 1 to minute 120.

2 goals and a penalty for an unofficial hat-trick and my Man of the Match. So glad he weren't rested at all after 120 minutes just for the sake of fucking League survival. Cups should always take priority. 

Past it my arse! 🤣
Yep,  well said massive son.

Two immaculate pens tonight for Jarrod...and as you say, an unofficial hat- trick.
Whe're in the  business end of the FA Cup lads...it's a great feeling

My gut feeling is that he'd stay and give it to at least january to see if we can get back up. I dont know him at all but he gives the impression hes not money driven. I think hes happy here, hes not got that ambition like Rice, or he would have moved at the same time.

He is still one of our best forwards. Last 6 Prem games he has 3 assists and 1 goal, Summerville has 3 goals and 0 assists and both Taty and Soucek have 2 goals and 0 assists. And I'd say Bowen always gives his all for the team.

I feel like Bowen works best if the central attacker is also very good. 
sadly since Antonio we’ve not really had a central threat in the same way. Bowen can’t deal with being doubled up on like he gets nowadays so I think it’s been a hard season for him.

i think that’s the same for a lot of great wide players. You can’t do it on your own. Esp ones that cut in on their left. Even Robben, the best I’ve ever seen on that right side, played with some stellar central forwards. 
 
what’s good about Bowen is that if he’s not scoring he’s still working very hard for the team. So he’s not someone you can omit from the line up. Who works harder than him? And he’s normally always available, something that is often overlooked of great players. Important players don’t have big injury records so you can build teams around them.

What is wrong with people? Couple bad games and he's "past it" 

Bet you wanted Nuno out for about 6 weeks, didn't you?

Also sold your car when you got a flat tyre?

The poor bloke has lost some of his enthusiasm but that's perfectly understandable considering he's been busting his balls for years only to see a selection of over-priced donkeys who are only fit for the glue factory line up alongside him.

Scott Parker gave off the same vibes towards the end of his final season. In the end it all gets too much to bear.
Nah, I'm not having that at all, way too convenient and far from professional. Yes, he doesn't need pelters because he's been off it, but he's an elite footballer, a pro and club captain, in that world you don't just down tools, which is basically what you are suggesting, and is a bit of an insult to him to suggest that.
Imo Jarrod Bowen isn't the type of fella to down tools ...in anything.
Honest as the days long..
I love him for that alone...down to earth decent lad who gives everything in all he does.

The club have form for this btw...leaving our best player left hung out to dry...surrounded by utter dross.
Paul Allen had this in his last season

And he certainly isn’t a lump like Rooney
Rooney was at his peak at 18 & currently looks 15 years older than his actual age. A bit like a council estate Father Christmas 
Rooney looked 40 at 18.

And who is playing right midfield in this line-up?
I reckon AWB or KWP could play right midfield. Could even alternate the two. AWB probably better of the two going forward and KWP the better defender.
