Has scored 3 home league goals since scoring twice v Wolves at home on 14 January 2019.
Has scored 17 league goals and had 8 league assists in the past 2 seasons, 10 of those goals and 4 of those assists have come in December and January.
Of those 17 league goals, 13 goals have come against just 5 teams (Everton, Palace, Burnley, Leicester and West Ham).
Overall there was no golden chance that he missed - not the kind of thing we've seen from Sterling in the past.
Aguero, different level of striker to everyone in the premier league. The others play in a pub league in terms of defending. Jesus would score 30+ in Serie A and Bundesliga.
He really hasn't had plenty of service, nothing like the clear cut chances we would normally be creating.

I missed the first half but xg saying he should've scored 1,52 goals today. Had some half chances in the second half, did he have any in the first that makes 1,52 a reasonable number?
Ha just like a minute ago,kev worked passed it then stuck both arms up in frustration ,he is not the answer going fowards,offices and fluffed chances again,just take him away nowAs certain as death and taxes, is seeing De Bruyne pissed off with Jesus at some point in a match when they start together.
Alright cheers. Imo it's usually a very good metric but it has some flaws of course.xG isn't going to represent the chances he had today well. None of them were instances where he had the ball and took the shot, they're all reactive or throwing himself at the ball.
Understat are giving the attempt by the back post to deflect Cancelo's shot in as 0.53xG but if you've seen the chance it's nonsense, Cancelo absolutely leathered it and he's not been able to do anything but put a foot out. It's not the same as taking a shot from that position.
