In today's game I thought apart from his goals and actually getting himself in the box and his one excellent ball for Mane, I thought Bobby was very poor, wanted too much time on the ball and got robbed far too many times, picked the wrong option mostly when he had time.
I found it quite bizarre as a comparison between Bobby and Jota last season, Bobby was miles better in the press and his link play but didn't get himself in the box often enough and when he did get glorious opportunities, he missed the vast majority of them, one of Bobby's main issues and the differences between his returns and Jota's was Bobby stopped getting himself in the box as often as he needs to about 2 seasons ago, whereas Jota always gets himself in the box
This season Jota has improved quite considerably in his link play, pressing and work without the ball, he's still getting himself in the box, has scored a couple of beauts, but has missed loads of sitters, Bobby's link play has been poor and laboured, but he's been getting himself in the box more and taken more of his chances
