Gabriel Jesus 2018-19 performances

Should have started, and those advocating the silly shape change, the disruption of what we’re good at, reap what you sow.,

No he shouldn't have started.

Guardiola butchered our whole attacking system, to blame anyone but Pep today is folly.

The hyperbole is impressive. We didn’t lose that game because Jesus didn’t start however much you woman and moan to the contrary.

Never said a harsh word about the lad till now but not sure now what it is he's best at. Maybe he's better in midfield or alongside a big striker to feed off because sole striker does not seem to be working .

Needs a striker alongside him.

I figured as much. We need to get another striker in the forthcoming transfer window.

I think he should have started too.

Oh well.

He will start Wed and hopefully get his confidence back with a goal or two.

We lose a game and suddenly he is scapegoated for a performance where he got subbed in after the heads dropped in the 2nd half. The other players were out of ideas and were not supplying him with good enough chances. Had 1 decent opportunity which Kepa saved very well. It is not his fault that Sterling and Sane messed around the box in the first half and forgot how to shoot. Collectively poor and we were mainly let down by poor execution of opportunities, which Chelsea on the other hand easily converted twice.

I have found an interesting stat regarding Jesus on the Premier league website which confirms him as having the best shot accuracy in the Premier league thus far this season but also of any current Premier league player from all seasons played in their premier league career.

Jesus shooting accuracy this season is 57% and overall in premier career is also 57%. Only Aubameyang hits 50% of current players, all the rest are below 50%. No one comes near to him for accuracy not even Kane or Salah. Now if only he would stay onside more often! For record Aguero is 35% this season. Sterling is next best for City this season on 53%.

No use been accurate if if there is no power in them. Some of his shots hardly get as far as the goals. Anyway you could debate forever on this subject. I am out of this thread (you'll be glad to hear) now. Not good enough for City and never will be

I have a different and more important statistic for this PL season:

Time for a goal needed:

Jesus 1 goal in 507 minutes = 507 minutes for 1goal.
Sterling 8 goals in 1116 minutes = 140 minutes for 1 goal.
Sane 6 goals in 826 minutes = 138 minutes for 1 goal.
Aguero 8 goals in 965 minutes = 121 minutes for 1 goal.

Jesus is underperforming this season.
