He was incredible as a poacher in that first season. Now he plays further and further back he barely even has a shot. So frustrating watching him
 
Wonder if he is happy being the worker bee and not the no 9 striker
Nothing wrong with that could be a very valuable squad player especially if he can up his goal count up a bit. Might be better out wide in that worker bee (as you described it) position. If he ends up being someone who plays all across the front 3 and scores about 15 league goals a season i think that would be a very good return but for our main number 9 obviously not.
 
I think this season sums up everything and gives us a clear picture about Jesus..

I for example, after last season believed that he could become a superstar and this would be his breakthrough season, but somehow after the glimpses of hope in a Wolves game and then during January-February period when he started to score some goals - he couldn't do it..

April was like "make or break" month for him and unfortunately he failed there.. Couldn't deliver against Chelsea in FA semi-final, wasn't good against Leeds and the fact that he hasn't scored since March - means that in the most important part of the season, we aren't getting any decent contribution from him. Contribution that you can expect from the main striker and not a squad player for example.

So, I feel that club will be using him in a "player + cash" deal this summer.. Because.. he is not that good to be a main striker and to be fair.. too good to be a squad player.
