Is it time for him to cement the position up top for us?
It seemed to work well once he was moved up as Striker with Kudus in his more familiar wide right position, typified straight away in the goal that was scored.
With Summerville flying down the left, the front 3 looked balanced and a constant threat.
I'd give it another go against Southampton to see if they can continue on from the 2nd half attacking like that.

sullivan has already decided kudus is going, I prefer jarrod out wide and a manager that knows how to use a proper striker. hopefully we get one soon (manager, that is)
And I only say that about Kudus because certain channels on YT keep going over it, again and again and again. Channels that pretend to be independent, but no doubt push narratives for that little cսnt

His strike rate is better based on just Goals scored or Goals and Assists combined. And there could be an argument it could get better still now being more experienced. It's something I've wondered about in the past whether we've been sitting on a quality Striker all this time, or whether we need to still buy one.
Bowen has lightening pace to burn, can press very well from the front putting defenders under serious pressure, strong enough to battle for the ball. Not the best in the air but I don't think it matters when he has other qualities as a Striker to rely on instead.
As well as on Saturday, I think it was the Bournemouth game in the Cup we put Bowen up top in Fullkrugs place going off for Kudus and a few minutes later he scores again, the winner this time.
Put it another way, I know who I'd trust more up top out of him and Fullkrug in the Premier League.

Fullkrug will be cementing his place at CF.
