    Kind of true though, was the same when he was at City too.

    He’s a false nine and scoring goals isn’t the most important aspect of that role, much like Firmino at Liverpool.

    That being said, he does need to turn up with a few more goals if he’s going to stand a chance in this Brazil side, especially since Richarlison is injured.

      Isn’t false nine just another way of writing not good goal scorer?

      Bobby was a good goal scorer though. He may have not been elite, but he was a reliable goal scorer.

    With that said, he wasn’t bad yesterday, helped created some good chances. Yeah, I would love to have a goal machine, but since we don’t have one, I rather play Jesus than Richarlison.

    When he came to us that pre season he was on fire and scored a lot. Am I remembering that correctly ?
