If I was Gabriel Jesus I’d be worried. Torres looks so comfortable up front.

 

[Easy]

Great goal, quality 1-2, stopped the ball dead with his first touch then slotted it in easily.

This kid is going to be some player for us.

At this level, competition is vital to get the best out of the entirety of the squad

Nah, I'd be thrilled about having someone like Torres on either wing creating opportunities for me, and vice versa.

I see a great future partnership there.

I think they can compliment each other brilliantly,i also think each is capable of performing the role of the other.Playing wider and running at the opposition might even be Gabby's best position.

Worried no, at least not for a while. There was a clear step up in quality at ST when Jesus came on. Plus Torres looked better on the right anyway.

However he did look really promising, and in many ways resembled Jesus. Hopefully that keeps Jesus motivated in the same way Jesus arriving kept Aguero motivated.


At the very least it looks like we've sorted out our emergency striker option. That's good.

Yep agreed.

I think Pep does want that, he wants a front 3 that scores goals. Look at how Barca played when they had Henry, Villa, Ibra, Messi and so on. We need to replace Sane with someone who gets 10-15 a season. I am sure Pep is looking for Sterling to get 10-15, Jesus 15-20, Mr X 10-15. A fluid front 3 that can interchange and not be stuck in their positions. I think Jesus is just fine, he shouldn't be compared to Aguero. He brings a lot to the team and I never feel like hes not giving it 100%.

Sterling - Jesus - Torres should be our front 3, all 3 capable of playing across the line, can drop in to pick the ball and run with it, can go long and stretch teams and can all score goals.

That second touch (after his one-two with The Ginger Prince) for his goal...

 

[OB1]

Yep agreed.

That front 3 has a lot of potential but no way in the short term they start game after game.

There’s two wide forwards who on current form should be far more worried than Jesus.
