hes not shit just not suited to being the focal point of an account hes either a wide striker or hes a good foil for sane and sterling when we play the three together where he doesnt need to lead the attack

He's Brazil's first choice number 9, should know how to lead the line, should at least know the offside rule by now anyway
 
As I've said previously, he reminds me of Dirk Kuyt.

He complimented Fernando Torres but wasn't a great striker himself.
 
We righty slag off Marrial and Particularly Rashford for being bang average/fair weather players but our boy isn’t doing much better

At least Rashford is quick, can kick the ball hard are shoots. I know that is very basic stuff but Jesus doesn’t look a threat when on the pitch
 
The biggest issue is that i think at the minute any striker would struggle in our team

We condense the pitch to the extent that it restricts the space in which a striker can play. So what you get is having to consistently start thinking about staying onside all the time. And trying to find a pocket of space in a totally congested area

didnt do himself any favours when he spurned the only decent chance he got though

I honestly think that mbappe would struggle with how we are currently trying to break teams down at the minute

Instead of pushing the opposition team into their own half maybe we should start trying to drag them out to allow larger areas of space to work with

Regardless of how hard it is to play up front on your own, the number of clear chances he misses is too high.

Jesus has had 4 attempts with only the keeper to beat recently and missed all of them. Look at that shit attempt yesterday. Terrible.

Aguero hasn’t been much better in recent weeks either.
 
I was amused when someone suggested that Jesus should play ahead of Sergio going forward because he presses. He is not fit to lace Sergio's boots I'm sorry.

We all know that our defence is very vulnerable and shaky, but as you say we are far too wasteful in front of goal. Very poor miss by Gabby yesterday and I think we need to be looking at buying another striker in January/Summer
 
Jesus can’t score a goal atm, never mind turn water into wine.

But I believe he can part the ‘Red Sea’ on Saturday.

Or is that Moses who plays for ‘Roman’ Abramovich’s team?
