Bobby

[TBLOCKRANGER]

Was my only downside for today.

He reminds me of blokes at work that look good and management love them but the reality is they are work shy and avoid any responsibility.

His job description is striker but all he does is lay off whatever the situation.

Also always faces the wrong way and then starts limping for no apparent reason. He did this at man utd and it takes ages for Arry to get him off.

Fortunate we scored the second and he then went off.

Only benefit is he was doing a lot of shouting and getting players to mark etc similar to Rio, he may however be told to do what he does ie constantly laying off, I don't know.

Isnt that his job description though, to hold it up and lay it off?

Hahah 1eyed your premature, I thought about what I posted and amended the last line prior to your post coming in. Great minds...

The only thing is that he seems to me to do it all the time.

Still only 60% fit with hip and ankle problems apparently. Had pain killing injections before the match. Can't really expect much more from him really.

Does seem to be struggling with fitnessl Remy looked tired when he went off. May simply be Arry wants a target man and prefers a 60% fit Bobby than anyone else.

Felt sorry for him early second half. He was clearly struggling and for some reason our tactics for the first 20 minutes of the second half were get it and lump it in his direction. We stopped giving the ball to Townsend and Hoilett and it just came back each time. Great knockdown for Remy who blazed over at 1-1 and still gets in my first 11.

Every time he went for the ball he looked in pain, think Bothroyd shoulda started in place of him personally but I can't complain!

[West Acton]

Harry said at half time he had to keep walking round the dressing room with a hot water bottle on his hip

[TBLOCKRANGER]

Against man utd, he was clearly struggling but the ball didn't go out for ages and he just carried on, didn't even fall to the floor and as soon as it went out he was substituted, but was a long time before he went off.

Today I noticed him limping about 15 minutes prior to substitution.

Don't see many team especially at premiership level playing an injured players.

Think your being harsh there as mentioned already "but all he does is lay off whatever the situation" is his job as that normaly means we can build an attack.

Some of his headers back we should have more of, overall from someone 1/2 fit an playing with pain killers i think he doing ok.

And what about MBia, different player today, stayed on his feet, made attacking runs, tackled and surprise surprise passed the ball very well to.

On wednesday Zamora was not fit and was out of today's game and that was directly from someone at the club. Total miracle he played today and we should give the man credit for putting himself on the line for the team.

[taarabt7]

I didn't think Zamora was too bad. He'll be important against Villa

[Factamondo]

we could rue letting hulse go at this rate!

[Kit]

His link up play was exceptional, how many times did he control the ball and lay. Off to townsend and hoilett. He doesn't have to score to be an asset to the team.

60% fit...half fit?...how on earth is that worked out?!...it's like the 110% brigade!
