Estêvão has five (5) Man of the Match awards in his last ten (10) starts.
Maybe he should start more often!
Team-leading ninth goal of the season for JP, which means he’s now just one away from a fourth successive season with double-digits goals in all competitions. Is he a center forward? Is he a “No.9”? Does it matter? Do we care? If he continues to (help us) score, not one jot.
The only problem with getting used to Bob’s consistent(!?) excellence is that the occasional (and inevitable) hiccup will sting even more. Still better than the alternative!
