Show them what they’re missing – Nuno’s final day plea | West Ham News

West Ham’s club captain has dealt with his enormous disappointment of being left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad privately and with dignity – unlike others also left out of the squad.

Recognising Bowen’s understandable upset, West Ham’s manager has called upon his captain to respond in the best way possible, with some “crystal clear” advice according to football.london.co.uk:

“Nuno Espirito Santo has called on Jarrod Bowen to channel the heartbreak of his World Cup snub into the determination needed to keep West Ham in the Premier League.

Hammers captain Bowen failed to make the cut for Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man England squad, despite receiving regular call-ups from the German manager in previous international windows and playing in March’s friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.”

As a huge Bowen aficionado, I’d be tempted to go further and encourage the Hammers’ skipper to show Tuchel exactly what he’s missing tomorrow in the last televised matches of the Premier League season before the World Cup gets under way proper in June.

Turn in a match-winning performance Jarrod, with a couple of goals, and show the German boss at the helm of England’s World Cup side ‘what he could have had:” There’s no finer response to the disappointment that letting his football do the talking.

Perhaps someone ought to tell Harry Maguire who’s been bleating all over social media about being left out: Take it like a man, Harry.

In any case, unlike Maguire, Bowen is still just one phone call away, should the fragile Bukayo Saka break down in training after an arduous season: Never say never, JB.

Bowen has dealt with the disappointment with dignity and hopefully will be fired up to do the right thing for his club tomorrow and avoid the crushing double whammy of being dropped from his national side suffer relegation all within 72 hours.
