Shouldn't.
Bishop is streets ahead of Yengi for all his promise. Bishop is the finished article, Yengi just a prospect.
One good game against Bolton doesn't change that (and who's to say Bishop wouldn't have played just as well in that game anyway the way the team played ?).
Mousinho tried leaving Yengi in when Bishop was fit and he played his worst game for us by far and was correctly substituted.
IMO this theory that 'dropping' Yengi was somehow the cause of our woes is a load of bollocks. The reasons lie elsewhere.
‘Finished article’.
Really?
Yes. He is 27 and has scored 33 goals for us in 70 games. A drop in form like all strikers have does nothing to change the fact that he is one of the best centre forwards in our division.
Yengi might be at his level in two or three years time.
I would guess that at least 10 of those 33 have been penalties -/so less than 1 in 3 .......Hmmmmm.
As I said Yengi has raw pace - which will take him to a higher grade than Bishop within 24 months.
I've never quite understood why people criticise Bishop for being such a good penalty taker. But one in three would still be a good return for a 'lead the line' type centre forward who does a lot more than just score goals.
