He doesnt score in the PL every other game does he? His goals per minute is poor for a team that creates as many chances as we do.

That is over four years or there abouts and doesnt show the picture of him starting well, tailing off, the odd good game then poor again , he just hasnt worked out long term , for me

Sergio has been out how long ? He should have staked his claim, injuries permitting

Play him left wing , he is rarely in the box and when sergio leaves replace him as near as we can to him
So a striker who raised him games in our biggest fixtures against Real Madrid and Liverpool is happy to play left wing when asked to, and that's bad?

This team doesn't play a traditional center forward. Arguably the current pattern of play suits Jesus over even Aguero.

His job is to press, overload defenders and vacate the space for Foden, Sterling, Kevin, Mahrez to run into. He's probably the best forward in the entire league for that role.

Id take Haaland don't get me wrong, I think he's phenomenal. But its not like he'd be asked to do the same role anyway.

He cant dine out on two games

I might be wrong here but did we buy brazils number nine to make space for midfielders to score ? I just cant understand that , he should be demanding they make space for him, number one strikers do that , they are more selfish

I notice that you seem to think PL games are the only ones that are important (See the foden thread as well) and I'm starting to think that you are Jurgen Klopp.
No but its clearly a benchmark that any decent striker shouldn't have any problem with being measured against. If you are one of the top strikers in the world, 18 to 20 goals a season in the league is a good return. Not 9 or 10. I would argue its more important than the league cup and knocking rubbish teams out of the group stages of the CL. Or do you think otherwise?

As i said this doesnt show that he has not progressed from a great start , it doesnt show progress stalled , what are his numbers for the last year say ?

He's got the 6th best goals per minute in the 28 year old history of the Premier league. If that's poor, what's good?

https://www.sportbible.com/football...t-striker-for-minutes-per-goal-ratio-20190914


Every other game , lol

He's scored 72 in 167 which is 0.44 - every other game.

That's inlcuding all games. If you include games where he played more than 15 minutes (ie strip away all the stupid 5-10 minute sub appearances that a back up striker racks up), it's 69 in 134.



As a starter in the league he's got 47 goals and 15 assists in 67 games. Do you people not realise how fucking incredible that record is? That is Kane/Aguero/Henry levels of production. 0.7 goals per game.

And I'll reiterate this, he's 23.

But he only gets to do that when he starts. This is exactly like Dzeko, who was struggling when he had to play second fiddle to Aguero and then we sell him for £9m and people are surprised when he scores 39 goals in 50 games for Roma. Oh who could have predicted a great striker starts banging in goals when he gets a run of games to find form, at least we've got Bony!

Jesus is one of the very best young strikers in the world, and on top of the goals he scores, he works harder than any striker in world football, he creates goals for others and he's humble enough to play LW, RW or sit on the bench when the manager wants him to. He's not going anywhere.
