Firmino is well ahead Jesus in all "works hard" related stats. Total distance, max runs, tackling, interception, etc.

Dipper alert!... Nothing against "Bobby" but Jesus is simply the better player already(more speed, better feet, more intelligent linkup play) and whether you agree with that or not you simply have to concede he's got massive potential for the future, the smart thing would be to play Jesus now get his experience up and his confidence.

Noticed Ali Mcmoist and ITV doing the Livepool bias game asking whether "has Jesus done enough for you" just before he said that(literally just before it) the most telling thing was there was a counter started by Willian who Jesus combined with beautifully 3 or 4 times to keep the move going but he failed to even mention his name during or after the move instead focusing solely on Willian. That seemed to me an obvious seed forcefully planted for the post match discussion on whether Firmino should be playing. Their arrogance knows no bounds, they know better than 99% of the Brazilian football fans about who should be playing? It's like they are playing a favouritism game based on how the casual PL football fans view it without having a clue how massive Jesus is over there.

We should just take comfort in the fact that so many of these pundits are sycophantic idiots that will be a thing of the past before long and we can look back and rip the piss out of how poor they were.

That passage of play you described ended with Neymar having a shot from outside the box with Jesus in acres of space to his right and well placed to shoot, a common theme.

It was a bit of a head scratcher. From memory, he'd shown some really clever attacking play, very good feet and accelaration in tight situations in the box to get away efforts on goal, at a time when Neymar and co were not producing much.

But honestly. Who gives a monkey's about Ally McBeal or the ITV commentators. Tyldesly and every single pundit were just embarrasing during the England game. I'd rather be watching it with a random selection from the wino's who hang around our town centre.
 
The issue is he's a striker and will be judged on goals.

Kane is scoring, Lukaku is scoring, Costa was scoring.

He's not played bad, but it's not surprising there are questions being asked about his starting place.

It is surprising if the questions being asked are by people watching the game it's quite obvious why he starts, it's also quite obvious why he isn't in amongst the goals.
Gabby has been quality so far this World Cup and as long as Brazil are in it he'll, start goals or no goals.
 
Liverpool fans vs. Gabriel Jesus seems like it might be a running theme. We all know how culty they are. Tite is going to stay on 4 more years and I don't see why he'd drop Gabby if this tournament is just a blip (which was caused mostly by shite play around him).

I look forward to them screeching in the corner for years to come as Jesus continues to play over Firmino.
 
Feck them. They can play firmino all they want in the PL and finish in their 4th place while we and Gab stay as champions.
