West Ham is now a BREEDING very average players after recent OFFICIAL announcement will put Lopetegui off-guard

Julen Lopetegui’s Mistake: Jarrod Bowen’s England Snub and West Ham Struggles

West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen has been left out of the latest England squad, announced by interim boss Lee Carsley. This omission comes as no surprise, given Bowen’s tough start to the season. However, it’s hard not to feel that Julen Lopetegui’s decisions have contributed significantly to Bowen’s struggles.

Bowen’s Popularity and Potential

The 27-year-old winger is a fan favorite at the London Stadium, having joined from Hull City in January 2020 for £20 million. His pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability make him a vital asset to West Ham. Bowen’s recent admission that he wants to stay with the club for the rest of his career was music to fans’ ears.

England Snub and Its Implications

Missing out on the England squad will undoubtedly be a blow to Bowen. Despite his form not being good enough this season, he deserves more opportunities to impress on the international stage. With only a few chances given to him in previous squads, Bowen might consider retiring from international duty.

Lopetegui’s Role in Bowen’s Struggles

In my opinion, Lopetegui is to blame for Bowen’s poor form, and here’s why:

1. Captaincy: Naming Bowen as club captain was an ill-fated decision. He’s not a natural leader, and the added responsibility may be affecting his performances.
2. Positioning: Playing Bowen as a central striker has hindered his form. He excels on the right wing, where his pace and skill can be fully utilized. Lopetegui must move him back to his preferred position to revive his best form.

Consequences of Lopetegui’s Decisions

By making Bowen captain and playing him out of position, Lopetegui has:

1. Added unnecessary pressure on Bowen, affecting his confidence.
2. Neutralized Bowen’s strengths, making him less effective on the pitch.
3. Potentially damaged Bowen’s international prospects.

Solution and Future Prospects

To revive Bowen’s form and potentially earn an England recall, Lopetegui must:

1. Reassess Bowen’s role within the team, considering his strengths and weaknesses.
2. Utilize Bowen in his preferred right-wing position.
3. Ease the pressure on Bowen by reevaluating the captaincy.

By doing so, West Ham can benefit from Bowen’s rejuvenated form, and England might reconsider his place in their squad.
