I'm sure his pride as a striker is slightly dented,strikers are judged in the history books on goals
He’s 21 and has scored 21 goals in 50 appearances. By contrast, the striker with the most PL goals, Alan Shearer had, at 22, made 118 appearances and scored 23 goals.
Although he finished on 260 PL goals, he won the same amount of titles as Jesus already has. I wonder if he’d rather be remembered for winning multiple medals or scoring the most goals?

Is that prem goals and how many in his first 6mths and since? it's the drop off that concerns me
 
Have a feeling Vinny might come in for this one.
 
1 in 3 in the prem.

He has 28 goals in 40 starts for City.

As I say, you’re judging him on games he’s not actually playing in. He’s only had three league starts.
Right my last try,it's the drop off that concerns me since he arrived,giving me a total number of goals in every competition is not what i'm asking,first 6 months prem goals v the rest of his time here or don't bother,this started with he has not scored in the prem since august

He’s had 1 start since August, you’re asking him to score in games he’s not playing in.

In the competitions he’s actually starting in he has 4 in 6.

It’s like saying Otamendi has had a poor season. Or taking it to the extreme De Bruyne.

Why are you obsessed with starts? how many minutes has he played for 1 goal in the prem? forget it i'll look on the prem site for myself,we have bored myself let alone everyone else

He’s had the equivalent of just 4 full games.
Starts are important for attacking players, especially for us, as subs are normally made to rest our players and there’s a clear drop of intensity.
It’s painfully obvious why starts are important in football.

With regards our PL line ups, there is literally zero reason for any fan to be concerned with Jesus starting.

I am guessing that Pep will want to rest some key players for the Chelsea game also I would be surprised to see young Zinch play given his recent nose reshaping.
I can't see Aguero being risked and Danilo played well enough to retain his place.
Laporte, Sterling and Fernandinho are crucial to the way we play and I suspect Pep may take the gamble to rest them.
Heartbreaking that whenever I try to pick a team i find it harder and harder to find a justification for Kompany's inclusion.

--------------------Ederson-------------------
Danilo------Stones------Otto-------Delph
---------------------Gundo--------------------
---------Bernardo---------- Silva------------
Mahrez------------Jesus-------------- Sane

Subs are there to change the game as well,it didn't do Dzeko's stats any harm...
 
Strongest possible team , we have got our foot on the throat of the Scousers ,we need to win convincingly to dishearten them after their injury time freak winning goal on Sunday , quite sure the Dippers will beat Burnley but for 24 hours they are as good as six points behind us with the goal difference , the pressure will tell eventually take its toll. We have battered Watford at Vicarage Rd in recent games , we need more of the same.
