Set Gundog up for a good chance to complete his hat trickOne of his best ever TEAM performances tonight.
Worked his arse off he really did.
His goals are beyond dispute, but for this current City team to move forward to the next level, he can't be the main man anymore.
He likes being the No.1, that's what he has come to expect for his seven years here, but it can no longer be the case.
I doubt he would accept being a squad player but Jesus, while not being as prolific, makes the entire team greater than the sum of its parts on every level, in terms of knowing when and where to press, which makes the entire forward line absolutely more potent in terms of the chances it is able to create, and suffocating teams even more.
Sergio has attempted to adapt but it's clear he doesn't have the intelligence to do what Pep clearly wants, which is no slight on him, but makes me very excited at how incredible Jesus is already, in terms of his tactical maturity and selflessness for someone so young.
Guardiola's mantra is about the collective and Sergio's game has to be about greed,like all predatory forwards, as when he's not scoring, he's not offering enough anywhere else.
Understandably, most would scoff when I would argue that Sergio wasn't even that great against Leicester despite scoring "only" four goals.
What a load of utter bollocks. Better goals per minute than Harry Kane. He's world class but has lost a yard of pace. Big deal
