Not the best challenge (and interesting to see/hear the referee team and VAR at work, including one of the AR's going "oof...")
So I was reading a SkySports article on Grealish's potential role in the team, and I came across this graph
I assume it's a standard heatmap averaged over a season. If that's the case, it really highlights how much Jesus gets about in a game. It's another one of those underlying things with Jesus that either goes unnoticed or is taken for granted.
There’s arguments to be had regarding his scoring record but he is currently the only potential focal point up front. Sterling, Torres et al can do a job up there and will score goals but I wouldn’t back any of them to do consistently well with their back to goal most of the time.This, hes a massive a team player and competitor and holds the ball up as well as anyone. A different option which is useful.
Yeah, at the risk of this sounding ridiculous Torres offers nothing when up there apart from goals.There’s arguments to be had regarding his scoring record but he is currently the only potential focal point up front.

We need Kane and if we don’t get him, we really need Jesus.
