I think we aren't far apart.
His lacking 'ruthlessness' is more due to his mind than his body. Look in his face, the lad needs more faith and support than other players, but if he gets it, it could click.
Because his body (!) brings all he needs.
I think it's not much missing and he could be a beast. All about self-confidence.
One thing I’ve noticed that even in the games where he scores, he ends up missing his fair share of good chances as well. I know all strikers miss chances but I never feel confident when Gabby goes 1 on 1 with the keeper.
The context of his place in the side also has to be taken into account. He’s competing with, and supposed to replace, our greatest ever goal scorer. Therefore, he has to show than he can deliver like Aguero as well.
He’s of the Firminho mould in that he offers so much more than his goal scoring. The difference is that Liverpool’s main goal threat comes from the wide players. Both Mane and Salah and 20+ goals a season players.
Aside of Raz, we don’t have that luxury so our main striker needs to deliver 20+ goals a season. I’m not sure I see that from Jesus.
