Fans of West Ham United have been reacting to the latest quotes from Jarrod Bowen which were shared on the club’s official Twitter account.
On Sunday morning, the Irons shared an interview with the English winger in which he said it will be good to go up against Andy Robertson after spending time together at Hull City (per West Ham), which had fans believing he would not get the chance.
? @jarrodbowen_: "Robbo and I used to train against each other all the time and we’ve had a lot of battles! He has come on leaps and bounds since then and I have as well, so it will be good if I can go up against him."#LIVWHU

He’ll be on the bench with Formals.
9-1 formation with the aim of not losing by 3.

Sorry Jarrod, we’re running out a 5-3-2 that game you’ll be lucky to come on for a dog-tired goalless Antonio in the 75th with no striker to play with. Maybe next manager you’ll get a crack at Rob!

Moyesy wont let you mate

Will Jarrod Bowen be given a starting spot against Liverpool tonight?Yes, he's ready for it now
No, Moyes is predictable

The Irons take on Jurgen Klopp’s Reds at Anfield tonight (as per BBC), which is where Bowen is hoping to get the chance to play against his former teammate.
However, supporters believe otherwise after the deadline-day signing (per The Guardian) was left on the bench by David Moyes for their clash with Manchester City last week (per Sky Sports).
David Moyes has other ideas though

Shame he won’t start

No chance if Moyes has anything to do with it

What do we think?
Having set the club back £22 million on transfer deadline day (per The Guardian), you would expect that Moyes did not bring in the 23-year-old to only make sporadic appearances.
It seems much more likely that the Scottish manager may be acclimatising Bowen to Premier League football slowly as he becomes more integrated with the squad, instead of throwing him in at the deep end against Manchester City and Liverpool.
