Correct but it was Jesus that made it work.

C’mon now, I want Jesus to stay too but that’s a stretch.

Not every week ,no we played plenty of games he didn't start. I don't know enough about Alvarez to say whether he can or can't do what Jesus did.

 

[Semper aggressus]

You mean when Haaland is out stuck with a system that won the last 2 leagues. So I think we'll be okay.

Too close for comfort last season though! Would prefer we didn‘t give the scousers a sniff this season, so we need a strong squad.

Yes, but unless Haaland is out a lot we will be stronger, I'm sure we'll cope when he isn't available.

Was unpleasant to go through it but actually prefer those sorts of gaps at the end. Love the 'if we'd won one more game' or 'if you'd dropped points against'. Yep, and if my auntie had balls.

The thing I did not like was if Jesus end to the season was a shop window come and buy me ?

That form in the run in is what we want from him every week when he puts a city shirt on because we know he is a world-class player, if he played like that from the beginning of pep as manager we would be not talking about a move, we have seen some shocking displays by Jesus over the years and even hiding, not wanting the ball, just going through the motions, spit his dummy out stuff ? But we have also seen magic and won us games like in the run,

somebody going to get a good deal ? But could also get a box of frogs if you don't play him

Jesus is one of those team players that does the kind of things that go unnoticed. Because he isn't always smashing in goals or popping up with regular assists people don't seem to rate him.

It's the off the ball stuff that has often been pivotal to us breaking down stubborn teams. He is absolutely brilliant at creating space for others. It's like he has defenders on a string pulling them out of position for our midfield to exploit the space. I don't think there are many in the PL who better than Gabby at doing this.

You make him sound like the modern day Paul Dickov!

Nah, hes always been a streaky form player, this was just coincidence and perfectly timed for us and him. It may have also been a weight of his mind once his decision was made. We wont know till he speaks on it.

We didn’t ‘give them a sniff’ they lost 2 games and got 92 points!

I very much wish he were staying and think he fits our style brilliantly, but he is definitely not world class.
