If a striker guarantees you 49 goals in 49 games there would be no reason for you to prefer another striker with lesser numbers all every coach cares about is winning so what you are talking is okoto

Scoring goals is a matter of formation.
Some strikers can only play in a 2 man striker formation while others can play as a lone striker
and also in a 2 man striker formation.
Some strikers press from the front and bring creativity and mobility to their game.
In fact, some strikers will simply be useless with some formations.
The same striker scoring goals in a 2 striker formation
will be useless when told to play as a lone striker.
Drogba was not neccesarily the best player around who could play for chelsea
but he was the one best suited as a lone striker in Maurinho formation.
A lot of better strikers struggled with that formation.
Even schevchenco, crespo etc when they came to Chelsea during drogbas time.
So football is not straight forward.
Someone like Sadiq Umar could be preffered when he make it to the top division because
he brings creativity, mobility, agression etc to his game and can also play as a lone striker
and since he is creative he can play as an inside left or inverted winger.
Sadiq Umar once had 17 assists in a season and that is something
A team without creative midfielders will need a creative forward and not just a box 18 forward
Life is not so simple.
in fact we all know shevchencko was once world player of the year but he struggled at chelsea for tactical reasons.

So if you sign player and him play one game e no impress then you go drop am ?

You will Surely make a bad coach grin

A Chelsea fan has already quoted me and said the right thing

The coach dey watch them for training, if you don't impress better than the other players why will you play? And for your information he played two matches and he sucked in both of them

oga don't you get it I mentioned it to you the other day guardiola preference was because he wanted to build his team around Jesus which back fired, because Jesus wasn't gifted like Messi he tried it with at Barca and he went back to aguero who obviously had more game time and goals than Jesus until last season when aguero was down with injury. The preferred Jesus his still there now and guardiola is still playing false 9 with likes of Torres. you even called ekuke Jesus a beast in agility which Jesus will never attain compere to what aguero has grin grin grin

Are you saying Guardiola never watched Gabriel Jesus clips before and just guess I sign a small boy from Brazil, and he will be like Messi.

Gabriel Jesus was just a similar addition to the team like Sane, Ferran Torres, and Foden.

Gabriel Jesus got picked ahead because he offered more work rate in front and his defending was crazy. He could also finish.

Not because he was the next Messi.

He improved his workrate and started benching the work rate monster grin this shows you where Guardiola's priorities lie

Without the work rate, he will bench. Simple. Not his prolific goalscoring.

Sadiq is top of Segunda scoring charts and second in assists.

He's too good for that league. May get a move to La Liga as early as January.

Jesus was like a trial and error for guardiola which right now we are seeing the result wink, can you categorically tell me Jesus was the best Wonder kid at the time guardiola signed him or he had same pedigree as mbappe, haaland and osimehn when he was signed to displace aguero in the team. And I will like to see Jesus stat which put him ahead of aguero at that time you claimed he was a beast which right now looking like ekuke grin grin

Getting Saul Niguez was a last was a panicked decision, he himself confirmed it, that the papers for the deal were not submitted until around an hour to closure of the window, and that same week Kante got injured, and nobody really believed Loftus Cheek will pick back his form (am not saying Cheek is better than Saul) Cheek is used to the league and has played in England for sometime now, so its normal playing someone you trust than playing someone u don't trust, seeing the way Chelsea handle coaches Wn they have a run of bad games. Guy I swear even if u be Chelsea coach u for do the same tin wer TT da do

Which pedigree. He was just a promising kod in Brazil. His brilliant attributes which fitted Guardiola's tactics made him a go to guy. His work rate is phenomenal.

As far as I am concerned, it is not the goalscoring instinct that is a problem. When he plays, he is fairly good scoring. It has more to do with tactics.

The front line players without a striker seems to support his progression.

grin grin grin oga phynomenal grin Jesus in his whole career will never have same work rate as aguero which clearly was visible to the blinded sentimental guardiola who wanted to use Jesus to play down aguero influence in the team at that time and when he realized mr Jesus was an ekuke in gorilla costume grin grin grin he dropped his ass for aguero who was clearly better all round wink just to use ur own word 'better all round' wink

maybe and maybe not when it comes to Nigeria against big African side player's might actually use the 9ja spirit to win game's even if it a novice on the bench and yeah a good coach on the touchline will always be a better option and gives us the perfect edge to beat any team not just big African side's cheesy

I don't know what you are arguing. You are arguing against fact. Guardiola dropped Manchester City's scoring legend for a kid due to him offering more tactically. This made Aguero step up his work rate game.

Any other argument is off point.

The point have been made. Any other talk is off the point. If you want to discuss Gabriel Jesus today, it is a different discussion and he contributes his part to the team.

Attacking the player does not change the point.

Finito.
