The guy’s got it all. If he was a bit more consistent he’d be really great. One of my favourite players.
I think Pep keeps him grounded. The big thing for me is for him to develop that all round game that finds a way through when it’s very tough. 2-1 down away from home for example.Im not sure where I sit with the "attitude issue" some people think this could be the only stumbling block for him. Ive seen a few instances but nothing thats gets me too alarmed. Fingers crossed its a bit of petulance that will disappear as he matures.

I'm 90% sure he's going to get sent off for dissent at some point because he has a habit of taking refereeing decisions personally and getting in their faces, but I'm not too worried about it, Don't think it'll be a habit.
Other than that I think his attitude will just push him on.
He's often said stuff like that about Sané, talking about how much better he can be and how he should or needs to improve.. He seems to think Sané needs a lot more pushing in the media, whereas players like Sterling & Stones just need shows of support and Aguero gets a mixture of the two.
Imo, if he starts playing more down the middle, he will score at least as many goals as Mbappe.
It could work especially with our limited options in the beginning of the season. We could play a 3-5-2 with Leroy and Bernardo up top and Mendy as the wingback.
It really depends on the teams we play. If a team decides to park the bus I don't know how effective he can be as a lone striker. I don't recall him being particularly good with his head unlike Ronaldo. Maybe like you say swapping during a game.Whatever system, imo Leroy should be used as an option for central striker. That doesn't mean I think it should be his main position, but, like Ronaldo did, he should start to get games in that position &, like Ronaldo, should be allowed to have 'off days' when given that job, without being written off.
Jesus has turned in plety of very good performances for Brazil etc as a wide striker, so we could even swap the two over during games, & back again, also with Sterling.
If we don't start to use Sane in that role, he will not develop it & imo we could lose a potential 40 goals a season.
Yeah that, like United away last year. I don't personally believe he should be moved to a CF position long term though, barring the odd game here and there. He's got the assets to be a truly fantastic winger on either side more so than as a centre forward, as you yourself have inferred tbf.It really depends on the teams we play.

Pep not happy with his performances/attitude in training again or someone knows why he didn’t play a minute tonight?
It looks like he's bulked out a bit over the summer.
