Has to play wednesday. Hes a striker whose confidemce is brimming right now. He took his goal so well today. Actually looks lethal at the minute Coupled with his work rate makes him a must.
 
My man! funny how a few goals completely changes opinion, he's not on some redemption story, he's been good all season. Might not get slated for saying it would be a huge mistake to lose jesus this summer if he carries on banging them in.

@Kaz actually makes a lot of sense, @Lavinda Past and @Phil1 , yeah those are the clowns you should totally ignore.

I think it was @Phil1 who said we should sell kdb for 70m in the January window and that Grealish was ready to step up to replace Kdb. Fucking dumb!

As for @DATOIA , I honestly think thats either Grealish himself, his agent or his brother ;)

I would argue that this game is a good example of why selling him is best for everyone. We don't need a RW, we need a striker. Would've been nice if he was happy to play that role but if he wants to be a winger moving forward it would be best for all parties if he was allowed to do that elsewhere.

Quite why he wants to be a winger when he's miles better through the middle is beyond my guess, but that's beside the point.

I've been saying he's great and deserves a proper run in the team for ages but Lavinder and Karen always loudly disagree.

You're saying he's great after a few good performances, two of which were against a pair of the worst defences in the PL.

Hes a good lad, and I've always felt that he would benefit from regular games. However, I have never believed that he's actually good enough for City or top level PL football, and I stick by that.

If, or when, Haaland or A N Other arrives next season, Jesus will drop down in the pecking order. No doubt whatsoever. That's why he needs to move on imo.

Arsenal would be OK for him, but Spanish or Italian football would be better for him in the long run.

In the meantime, he's doing well at the moment and definitely earning his corn. Let's hope he does the same for the next five or six games.

No, Sterling can do that. Need his hold up play down the middle rather than wasting a midfielder there who’ll struggle to hold the ball up and won’t be as good as Gabby at pressing. We’re the better team let them worry about us. Play our inform striker as a striker(or false 9 if you like that shite term).

He could score 100 goals and you would still want him out but Super Jack on the other hand...

He also roasted the defences of the 2nd & 3rd best sides in the World.

He’s always been a constant goal threat when trusted with game time.

If we do sign a striker, Jesus would still get plenty of game time. He’s a better fit for us than Grealish & Mahrez and more consistent than Sterling. He’s also 5/6 years younger than Mahrez.

Not true, but you can think what you want - you're entitled to your opinion.

He's got a big heart, but he's just not top class imo, and I've thought since he arrived that he's not actually what City need up front.

As for Jack Grealish, only time will tell. If he makes the necessary improvements, great. If not, he too can be moved on.

However, I'd like to think that he'll get a similar amount of time to that Jesus has had from people like yourself to prove himself.

"Roasted".... I don't think so. He's little more than nuisance value against top quality defenders. His workrate is excellent but he rarely, if ever, causes serious problems for defenders or forces mistakes. His performance against Leeds wasn't particularly dynamic, despite them having a depleted defence

He's nowhere near as good or talented as Raheem Sterling or Riyad Mahrez, and he's a completely different player to Jack Grealish.

As for being 'consistent'... I think that view is probably based on the last few weeks rather than the last few seasons.

He made five key passes yesterday, in addition to scoring. For all Raz's efforts yesterday, he did not have a shot on target or provide a key pass.

Only Sterling has more successful dribbles per 90 minutes this season in the league than Gabby. Raz has slightly more but successful ones but also rather more unsucessful ones.

Riyad has slightly more shots on target but is less accurate that Gabby who is second for on target shots in the league per 90.

Gabby and Riyad are equal on goal invovlements this season with only KDB ahead of them by 1.

I have no wish to see any of Gabby, Riyad or Raz leave but I think at least one will this summer. I would keep Gabby ahead of the other two.

Riyad is the most talented of them and won't be keen to leave but is much older than Gabby, who is more talented than you give him credit for.
