Hell no racer not at all, he’s not exactly set the world a light it was just the comment about being the real deal. 😱 The shot was like a pee roller 😂 bounced twice before crossing the line. 100% not soar grapes.
A pee roller? Really? It's not the most powerful shot, but I felt like he still struck the ball pretty good and with a lot of accuracy from that range. He's actually one of those players that I love to see take a shot because he can strike the ball so purely its beautiful (scored one or two at the WC like that and his first against you guys was also sublime).
As for if he is the real deal I think he's showing good signs. He came into a team that is struggling to create anything for its attackers and still put up decent numbers, in those circumstances and for the short period he's been there. It's been a few games now where for the first time in a while we see someone other than Firmino play the false 9 role with such success. Yesterday, he was all over the pitch, all the time and created space for the wingers exactly like Firmino did for years.
Is he going to compete for the golden boot? I doubt it, but is that the role being given to him? I also doubt it. He's going to be a key player in that team for the way we play and he'll still contribute with loads of goals and assists.
