His all round game today was outstanding , his link play and running off the ball is unbelievable for a 20 year old , much as i love Aguero we are a much more fluid team with Jesus playing up front , but Aguero's goal record speaks for itself , a nice problem to have next season , two world class forwards , unfortunately just the one place in the team.
 
Aguero is one of the best strikers of all time.

Jesus might become one but in any case, is miles ahead of Aguero in literally every other area.

The goal he scored today was classic Colin Bell/Brian Robson.

Jimmy Hill etc used to go on about the 'late' run from midfield in tne 70s 80s etc. You rarely hear it mentioned in the modern game but it looks like Pep & City are on it with Jesus.

He sets it up in centre mid, takes the ball again & threads it though to Sterling, as West Ham pick up all the attackers, he arrives last & scores from the (brilliant) late pass from Sterling.

Zabba has no fucking idea he is coming.

Classic 70s centre mid play. Brazil 1970 even. World Class.
 
He's not Ronaldo, but he has all the attributes to have a similar output and be the first to fill that famous shirt. I'm happy to see him thriving with a run of games and want him to continue that slow burn build into a crescendo. The killer for Ronaldo was burn out and catastrophic injuries too young, Jesus has already had a couple of nasty ones and I'd be happy to keep him on the slow trajectory if possible, sharing with Kun. Of course, he could explode at the World Cup and take that out of our hands, but the calibre is there for sure.

That goal gets better each time you see it replayed. Truly one of the goals of the season. I felt safe to applaud it even though surrounded by West Ham fans.

He's not fit to be put in the same breath as either Ronaldo. However he was pure class today putting in one of his best performances in a long time. I don't understand why as City fans we have to constantly compare Aguero and Jesus. We should just enjoy having two great strikers. At the risk of comparing tho:) Aguero's workrate was firsr class before his injury.
 
Staggering that people don't rate Jesus. At 21 years old he is already one of the most complete strikers in the world.

The only thing missing from his game is the ability to regularly score stunning finishes like Aguero, Kane and Salah do. But really, who needs that?

Pep's system is all about walking the ball into the back of the net as often as possible because that way leaves little to chance. Jesus is the perfect striker for this system, so it's only natural that most of his goals will be first-time finishes from close range ('tap-ins'). It's a very underrated skill and surprisingly difficult to master but when he's scored a dozen of these goals for us this season it's not hard to see why he's such a useful player to have.

But none of that matters because some bloke on the internet reckons he's just a Brazilian Jadon Sancho. Shame.
