"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.

Jack Grealish plays in the front 3 whether you like it or not. Jesus was MOM in that position twice vs Real Madrid in covid season. They very much do compete for a position. And Jesus is now streets ahead.

He’s arguably our most dangerous and consistent goal threat against the elite teams.

Also been superb against Liverpool in both league games this season
 
The thing I like about Gabby is if this is to be his last few games with us he has still put so much effort in and worked his bollocks off. So different to the type of player that doesn't put the effort in if a move is in the offing. Huge credit to him as a professional and for us it's a win win - If Haaland and Alvarez arriving means he wants to leave then his value has gone up, even with only 1 year left on his contract or If he decides to stay great.

I still think he's not as instinctive as a top drawer main striker but have no doubts will do very well wherever he goes.

If we win the league at least this season players like Gabby, Ake, Jack and Zinny will all have played vital roles.

Wow !!!!!!!!. Just looking at Jesus's City record since arrival. it must be fake or alternative facts to show he is little more than nuisance !!
 
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.
I respect your opinions but I don’t pay much attention to what stats say. I rely on what I see, and I simply don’t see how anyone can consider Gabriel Jesus to be a top class forward.

Nah. Not in my book mate. It's all about opinions.

If I was still playing, I'd be looking forward to playing against him. He's a willing runner, grafts and scores opportunist goals. He's not actually dominated a centre back or full back since the day he arrived.

He's on a purple streak at the moment. Long may it continue, but don't kid yourself about his future at City...he's definitely in the shop window.
 
Goal involvements per minutes this season (PL + CL):


Jesus - goal/assist every 91 minutes

Mahrez - goal/assist every 93 minutes

KDB - goal/assist every 114 minutes

Foden - goal/assist every 134 minutes

Sterling - goal/assist every 137 minutes


If we count only the biggest games (i.e., against the strongest teams in the PL and the CL: Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG, Atlético and Real), Jesus is our most productive player ahead of KDB.

I like Jesus but your statement is somewhat misleading. How can he be the most productive player in the team when he doesn't score a goal in the PL from Sept. 25, 2021 to April 10, 2022? It's almost a season-worth of game time.

I'm talking about the biggest games, he's our most productive player in the biggest games (Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG, Atlético, Real) with 6 goals/assists so far, followed by KDB with 5, Bernardo 4, Foden 3, Mahrez 2.

OK. Although, I would characterize Tottenham, Arsenal and especially Man United (for the fans) as big games too.
 
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).
Either on the right is fine just not mahrez more of a chance of jesus playing on the right in a big game than sterling tbh but id like sterling on the right foden on the left and jesus in the middle but i dont think pep will go with this.

Normally, yes, but they are not at the level of the mentioned teams.

United have been shit this season. The undisputed top teams in England are City, Liverpool and Chelsea. And the biggest games in the CL so far have been vs PSG, Atlético and Real.

Totteham beat City in both legs and the home leg vs MU and the away leg vs Arsenal were epic (Remember Rodri's goal and celebration? haha)

We should include Palace and Southampton, then, because we couldn't beat them? Come on :)
 
Brilliant squad player. Never, to my knowledge, outwardly complains, and works his docks off when on the field.

Not the most prolific “striker” in the world, but he is coming through, fresh as a daisy, in this late season run-in.

Far more natural finisher than Sterling, although they both often struggle from “let me have another touch” syndrome!

His biggest issue is that he is foreign and that takes a squad slot that the club may want to be filled by Alvarez or Haaland next season.

Other than that, it’s a no-brainer to resign him to a new deal with the wages he currently commands, which are far less than others who may not be performing as well.
 
You could have just included the so-called BIg Six to avoid being seen as selective. Come on :)

It's all fun chat. Goog day.

I use a narrow definition of 'big games': games against the very best teams, in England (PL) and Europe (CL). There's nothing selective (subjective) about it, for the mentioned teams have been the strongest in England and the CL (from our games in the CL so far). You may want to include also Leipzig (who may well win the EL) and Sporting. Thanks, but no thanks.
