Yeah but guys, listen.... he doesn't score enough goals
Yep, always expected his strike rate to improve. I often said that if players created as much for him as he did for us then people would see a player knocking in 15 - 20 goals in the league.
It's nice that he's getting the recognition he's long deserved, pure class, epitomised again by how he didn't tap that one from Mane in which would have bagged him £45k, team players, completely selfless at this level are absolute gold dust. That doesn't mean he isn't selfish when he needs to be, but only when he needs to, that level of decision making is something I've always admired and now he has the support cast to show it we're seeing exactly what he can bring out in others and what real threats around him can do for him.
Our attack, as a pundit pointed out, is right up there with City's, I wouldn't swap ours for theirs, even though I absolutely love KDB and Jesus as players I just prefer the interchangability of our lads. Still, that's the attack pretty much sorted, we just have to tweak a little in midfield and allow some of our lads to develop this year in defence such as Gomez and TAA/Robertson. Get a couple in Jan for the rear guard and we'll be looking very strong.
