I'd be able to enjoy Jesus more if I knew he wasn't in the team primarily to score goals. His record is great admittedly but the amount of chances he misses - or passes up - is hard to look past.

A striker at that age should be fearless in front of goal but he's the opposite. Even his latest goal away at Leicester, no way he should be passing that to Sterling when he was 1v1 with Schmeichel.

I'd be happier with Jesus if he was a winger given the ability he has to run at player and his workrate but then get into instinctive goalscoring positions (like Sterling does and like Jesus did vs Real away last season) as opposed to being our primary goal threat.
I thought he looked more threatening in 2 uptop as in the 1st half against Leicester he played more like an inside forward

Anything that takes him away from being our primary source of goals is fine - he's clearly got ability but I don't think finishing/confidence in front of goal is one of his main attributes.

Maybe so, in some ways. I would argue he is our best finisher.

Out of curiosity, how? Presuming you're getting rid of Aguero from the argument.

I'd argue Mahrez, Gundogan and KDB are better finishers than Jesus (presuming we're not including Aguero).
