I'm pretty confident he doesn't read Bluemoon and me shouting at the TV(seen as I can't get into the ground) won't have any effect whatsoever. As for "support all our blues", I support Manchester City, not North Korea!

WTF? but we all know your a hater, at least the sensible posts support Gabbies contribution.
 
Gabby contributed as many goals/assists in the league as Raz, but in much fewer minutes (roughly, 7 full games). We are lucky to have a 2nd choice striker like him while Aguero is still around. Top lad.

Edit: more goals/assists than Firmino and Mane in all compets this season and about as many as Salah - in much fewer minutes. Admittedly, Mane has had more crucial contributions (so far).

Since he came in for Aguero we've won every game, thats the only stat that matters for me.

We lost from Southampton and Arsenal with Jesus in the team. But this season we have lost more games with Sergio including against Norwich, so that shouldn't be a stick to beat him with.

"we all know", that sounds ominous

I've actually met him, he seems a nice enough chap. My position is pretty clear, I want him to get better
 
He's a very good player, just wish he would hold his runs up just a tiny bit longer. He seems to get called offside too much. A bit like Anelka. But with Anelka it was often his speed that caught the Linos out.
 
It's always going to be hard for anyone coming in as a second striker to Aguero. Comparisons are a bit unfair as Aguero is to my mind the best striker the Premiership has ever seen. We won't see another like him for a long time.
 
I know let’s get Lee Bradbury back, this lad works so hard for the team, he is only 23, still learning and developing, we do create a huge amount of chances in games but he isn’t And shouldn’t be the only one in the 6 yard box anticipating the cross. As said by many on here, and I can be as critical as the rest, there is and only ever will be one Sergio, but for me I’d rather have Jesus in my team as an understudy. He will get better and better.

we would all positively like that for every player. nice that you met him, I'm sure he's a great guy. Has never complained about his role, and always puts a shift in.
 
Personally, since aguero has been injured and he has had a good run of games I've seen huge progress. The minutes he has played in such a condensed time frame (and he doesnt stop working) I can forgive missed chances, he has grafted and fought for us and his team. His confidence is growing, his turns are sharper, his strength increasing. His hold up play is getting better, chesting down for others, picking out the passes with back to goal and shielding the ball better. His passing and creativity is improving, his assists are up there with any prem league striker. His confidence in dribbling is growing, he's skinning rbs for fun on the byline and he's getting his head up for the shot/pass after doing so. His finishing is good from outside the box and improving and he's a fox in the box (which you can't teach).

All in all hes 23 and improving, his stats are on the up and he is one of the best in his age group. His fight, stamina, tenacity and graft is 2nd to none. Should he be the main striker after kun? He deserves his shot, definatley!!! But I would like to see a different type to compliment him. A bigger more lethal finisher like haaland/isak. They can rotate due to formations against us or play as a 2 upfront.

We will see, I only see positives in the kid and proud to have such a grounded and honest lad leading our line.

Well said I`ve been arguing with friend exactly the positives you make.

They counter with how many he misses. I ask them what was Raheem doing at 23.

He is called offside once every 2 games, not too shabby in a side attacking for 80% of most games.
 
I just watched all of City's goals this season on youtube. I have to say he scores some cracking goals and his footwork is great. I think he can really become our no 1 in the next 12 months.

Perhaps, but when someone says, "I see the usual pricks are out and about again." to address people who appreciate Gabby's contributions and offer polite facts and observations, well...
