His off the ball play is good but he is not developing as a striker,if sergio left tomorrow he could not score the goals we need to replace him,lets not forget he is brazils no 9 so striker is his position
I'm just going to say I disagree with you on all fronts and leave it there.
 
He had a nice little minute in the 2nd half with a nice flicked header followed by a good little dribble in their box.

However, he needs to put himself about much more than this. He does not look like the Jesus we had when he first signed.
 
I thought he did well today. A good number of layoffs and he was very unlucky not to get a stud on that chance in the first half, and it was his good work that led to Ferny's chance that he shoved wide. He tends to play a lot of the game with his back to goal, whereas the first thing Sergio does is a little shimmy or swivel to get facing the opposition.
 
People just refuse to learn their lessons. It's as if they've seen the development of every young player under Pep and decided that for some reason Jesus is immune from such. And in 2 years time when Jesus is quality for us we'll see these posts for whichever other 21 year old we have going through a quiet patch.
I was particularly shocked at Karen. She is normally a happy clapper for our players.

Oh well!
 
I think deep down most posters know he's not what they hoped he'd be. If you were a manager who had watched him over the last few seasons would you really be busting a gut to sign him? It's not the end of the world, I'm sure he'll be a success somewhere, just can't see it being in this league.

If he starts adding the goals at the rate he was doing when he first signed again, add that to the all round better footballer he is now then we have some player on our hands.
