Jarrod Bowen supremacy helps West Ham secure thumping 4-2 win over Brentford!
This season, West Ham manager David Moyes has come under heavy fire, however even the most irate Hammers supporter cannot deny his influence on Jarrod Bowen. Although the England international has played wide throughout his career, Moyes chose to use him as an all-out striker early in the season. As a result, Bowen scored 14 goals, his highest total in the Premier League, and scored his first professional hat-trick in Monday’s 4-2 victory over Brentford.
Bowen’s performance in that crucial role came at the ideal time, as pressure had been building on Moyes after his team’s embarrassing 6-0 home loss to Arsenal on February 11 and subsequent 2-0 setback at Nottingham Forest six days later.
Bowen’s manager at Brentford, Thomas Frank, called him “unplayable” on Monday. For the player, the timing couldn’t have been better, as England manager Gareth Southgate is undoubtedly finalizing his squad for the European Championship in Germany this summer.
According to Moyes, “It gets him back in the goals.” “If he scores like this, Gareth [Southgate] will definitely remember him.
“The foreign manager will be interested in you if you are capable of scoring goals and play wide.” Though he hasn’t exactly achieved the aims, Jarrod Bowen has occasionally appeared in this manner. We have not won, thus some of his most recent work has gone unappreciated.
“He scored the goals and was Johnny on the Spot. In other aspects, too, he posed a threat.”
With 14 goals, Bowen is unquestionably amongst the Premier League’s leading scorers. He is on par with Dominic Solanke of Bournemouth and Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa, one behind Mohamed Salah of Liverpool, and three behind Manchester City’s top striker Erling Haaland.
Given that Bowen recently ended a seven-game Premier League scoring drought that began on December 23, his total is even more remarkable.
I try to push myself all the time with my energy. It’s challenging. I’m 5 feet 9 inches tall and facing large center-halves. I need to be aware of my strengths and weaknesses. In one of the top leagues, I’m attempting to pick up a new position.”
Now that he’s back amidst the goals, Bowen is going to feel motivated to add to his total and truly give Southgate something to think about as the summer approaches.
