Gabby isnt number one , he is as injury prone , sergio will still play a lot

I'm not sure Jesus is no1 either myself, but he's not injury prone that's for sure.

I'm in agreement with karen that Jesus probably isn't our 1st choice striker for Pep, but I'm in disagreement with her suggestion that he's injury prone.

we know pep will have double protection in midfield with rodri and gundogan and have both wingbacks tight on liverpools wingbacks

but liverpool have that ball from deep and hit you on the break with pace. so city will have to respect them because they can hurt anybody ? pep knows more than anybody we can be catch out by that sort of move because we do leave a big space behind, but its also a weapon that gives city the ball and the magic we have then we can hurt them badly

very hard game to call and the media have it as the title decider hahaha am having any of that
to many games and a long hard winter program, so its going to be the most open title race and leicaster city and everton and spurs chelsea must be respected

and Aguero isn't an injury prone?

I said he is as , which means both

He has been out for months with a mystery injury , he has had a lot of injuries

Here's Jesus's injury history:

Gabriel Jesus - Injury history

This is the injury history of Gabriel Jesus from FC Arsenal. On this page injuries as well as suspensions.

So that's 5 in the near 4 years he's been here. Which if you make the effort to compare to other City players in the same time frame, only puts him behind the freaks like Bernardo and Sterling.

Jesus isn't injury prone, like Aguero has become or Kompany was. He's just not injury averse.

If Jesus is injury prone then so are Laporte and Fernandinho.

Wow - that's far fewer than I thought he'd had. Must be perception akin to 'he's always offside' :-)

Jesus would have been a bigger one. I’d have loved to have Sergio available too, but our no.1 striker now is Gabby. If he isn’t then we can’t be the high pressing team we need to be. I reckon when both are fit (if that ever happens) Jesus starts more league games than Sergio. We are so much better with an actual press. I know it’s hard for people to accept but the baton needs to be handed over now, and another striker bought as soon as possible.

Hmmm, I get where you are coming from but Aguero is our best natural finisher and probably the best in the league (although there is an argument for Kane) and players like that last longer at the highest level. While I can see merit in looking for a new striker, he remains our main man for a good bit longer. A bit like Kompany was in his later years.

Can we not postpone this game to allow VVD to come back, that would be much fairer.
