#9 | Gabriel Jesus - 2019/20 Performances

I’ll be fucking livid if we sell this guy.

Can’t see any point in moving him. He’s good as a rotation striker. We currently have two and one of them has a season left. We need to add more strikers not get rid of any way have.

id even keep him for the wide left spot. He can play anywhere across the front line and probably might be better as a wide player.

gabby is a very good striker in his own right, theres no way where selling him regardless of what that rag Lee says.

It's always difficult to keep a full international as a squad player as we've seen with Sane.

Gabriel Jesus is a solid player, but his finishing is absolutely awful.

Which is the biggest criticism in his game.

I don't think he is anywhere near close to be a worthy replacement of Aguero.

Speaking about Aguero, his contract is about to expire in summer 2021.

Which would be a perfect opportunity to go all-in for Kylian Mbappé who's easily much better than Gabriel Jesus.

Mbappé's contract is about to expire in summer 2022.

He'll be relatively cheap with only 1 year left of his deal.

His finishing is sometimes awful, wasnt awful for instance against Burnley was it.

Put it this way, if he was available for the Wolves game, i think we would have won that game, the way he puts opposition defenders under presssure
even when we was down to 10 men.

Meh... we had Sterling and sure enough Sterling did put away a nice goal and fortunately converted following a blocked penalty.

For me, the loss to Wolves had nothing at all to do with whether or not Jesus was available - it was primarily due to our being reduced to 10 men, compounded by our defensive frailties (with 11 on the field we probably could compensate for defensive errors with more goals - down to 10, we needed to score - job done - and then defend well - which we're currently unable to do on anything approaching a consistent basis).

Should become the 1st option

Personally I'd prefer they're rotated based on tactical benefit. I know what your point is about energy, but Aguero is still AGUERO.

Same with Silva, if the game suits him then he ought to play.

For me, it’s Aguero in the home games, where we play against packed defences and might only get one chance. I would take his finishing over Jesus any day. Away from home, I prefer Jesus for pressing and his pace.

Something like that, definitely. I want Aguero's fitness protected at all costs too, so rotation helps there too. Even if it means sticking Sterling there.

Point is that you need Margot in the bag first or you're going to be left sat alone at home with a pot noodle and a crude drawing of Lukaku on your hand.

you're in the form today :D
