Did anyone notice that he came on? He’s another one that it’s just not going to happen for here - maybe at Inter Milan or team like that but I don’t see him being anywhere near good enough to play upfront for us for a whole season

Yeah because we were really playing well when he came on.
He gets shunted around by Pep, dropped when he is scoring and thrown in to games with little to no chance of having an impact. What do you expect him to do?

Jesus's problem is Aguero. Jesus would have been a better fit for sunday with what I think we should have tried to do.

You’re so up Sergios arse. We all love Sergio but you’ve just blamed one player for being a bit of a hot head and defended another for kicking out worst than Jesus has ever done.

I am disappointed at present because I honestly thought we had on our hands a lad from Brazil with talent in abundance, and that attitude to always want to beat a man. But unfortunately i have only seen it on a few occasions since he arrived - and when it does happen, i think that's the player we want. Beating 2 players with a trick and getting through on goal

I can only pick somethings as to why it isn't working out -

- The way we play up front means either a player like that cannot fit in and let their skill flourish
- That the way Pep wants him to play is having an adverse effect on his game
- He isn't getting the game time needed so that he gets the confidence to let his skills come out

I honestly think that my 3rd point is the issue for him. He has the ability and I think it boils down to not getting enough consistent game time. I believe that had he been given the lead role earlier his confidence would be through the roof and we would be seeing the player we know he can be
 
Just to interrupt the slagging off for a second.

Minutes on the pitch to get 50 goals for City -

Jesus - 6124
Aguero - 6548
Tevez - 6566
Dzeko - 7430

Mbappe is the only other striker u23 with more top level goals than Jesus in 2019, despite the fact he's not starting.

he needs a decent run in the 1st team now, as I mentioned before he has the ability and the skill. his all round game is excellent - he just needs the confidence through being allowed a proper run as number 1 to start showcasing his abilities

and the same goes for Foden

He is not the no1 though
 
A few more Jesus stats because I think people are massively underrating him, he is one of the best young strikers in world football.

"He has hit the back of the net 21 times in his last 20 starts for Pep Guardiola's side."

"Gabriel Jesus has been directly involved in 59 goals in his 65 starts across all competitions for Manchester City (45 goals, 14 assists)."




More goals than Kane in 2019.
 
His ceiling could be higher that Sergio’s but the league competitiveness has forced Pep to avoid rotation. Could argue same for Iheanacho previously too.

He needs to start playing more ASAP and output will grow exponentially.... otherwise he’ll do it for someone else

We are lucky to have him. To buy a talent like him in the current market would take 100 m.

He has but arguably not enough. Jesus started just 8 league games last season. He played just 50 more league minutes than DeBruyne and just over 100 more than Mendy in the league last season despite their injuries.

It's not easy as Aguero has to be kept sharp but Jesus hasn't had the opportunity of putting a string of starts together.
 
Haha beyond a joke now that lad with pens. He just won one for Brazil, did his shit little run up and put another wide! Keeper had dived the other way too.

He’s a shite penalty taker. Ridiculous that we let him take pens
 
I mean he did win the penalty. That's worth something.

Just needs to say no afterwards and he's sorted.
 
Perhaps missing a few high profile ones in succession will teach him to just start taking them in a normal way. No fancy run up, no getting the keeper to dive before you shoot, just pick a spot, hit it, and you'll score 78% aka the global average.
 
Woeful penalty taker.

He's fully missed the target from 12 yards twice in a row. That's ridiculous.
