[SVP]

Nice to see those giving him grief have been in this thread post match to say how wrong they were - oh, they haven't, quell surprise. too embarrassed (again) no doubt

Yeah but he’s always off side!!

Clearly

What a player we have on our hands

Zero offsides yesterday? And a hugely impressive performance. He’s looked really sharp and hungry this last while. Bidesvery well for next season.

There were at least 2 offsides I recall, he even had a goal disallowed. Fortunately there were plenty of moments where he kept just on the right side of the line, including for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th goals.

Oh yes, we were right in line with the disallowed goal. He had some games recently where he’s had 3 or 4 stupid offsides but there’s yesterday, 3 big moments due to improved concentration.

That second goal of his was no tap-in.

I think he excels in space where his speed is a huge advantage . If Sane did go then I'd play Jesus on that left side and look for a more traditional player to lead the line.

 

[TonyM]

Such a pity his header was offside. It was class.

 

[Easy]

This kid is a major talent. Had a dip due to injuries and an emotionally difficult World Cup exit.

 

[BosnianBlue]

who's goal was that one in the end officially? Some media still says Sterling scored hat trick.

His dip was mostly due to lack of playing time. He is a phenomenal talent.

I know this rubs most the wrong way, but I expect him to be better than Aguero next season.

Sterling plays there more often than Sane these days, and that is his preference according to Pep.

I share your opinion, and I think he could be a future Ballon D'or winner. I see a lot of the original Ronaldo in him.

 

[bluebreeze]

Seeing he has hardly played for the last few weeks, I thought he had an excellent game. Believe if he gets an extended run in the side, he will be at least as good as Kun at his best.

 

[Rolee]

I'll reiterate what I've said before about Jesus.

When he starts neither our points per game or goals per game suffer. He's alright by me and I'm sure with an extended run he could develop into a top class player.

 

[decmancity]

Better footballer than Aguero but not yet the better forward, no shame in that at all either. I don't see him leaving any time soon, Aguero will still be the go to man next season but I think Jesus will play a bit more (all the cups) and then he will be ready for the 2020-2021 season to really take over.

Might be his preference but he usually looks more dangerous on the right.

 

[purplenose]

The lad will score a ridiculous amount of goals over the coming years.....best he scores them for us.

Disagree.
