Forget that got it myself - adebayor is no 1 offside of premier league history, elk and Benjani rated highly as well (no 9 will also raise a lot of eyebrows)

Darius a pathetic 94th - weird coz I remember him being permanently offside

Edit again - sorry you’ll need to filter it yourselves as that doesn’t work with the link

Wow you can get a lot of info with the filters from the stats in that link.
I didn't realise Jesus had missed so many big chances, this season 18, he's 3rd overall in the PL, although he's probably played about 1/3 of the minutes of most. He probably also close to the most offsides for the minutes he's played?
Also Ferny has the most City tackles, 57 in 2.3k minutes, compared to Gundogan's 17 tackles in 2.0k minutes.

Wood, Murray, Vardy, Delofeu, Morata all have more offsides per minute than Jesus.

The Fernandinho/Gundogan comparison is a bit skewed, Fernandinho has played all his games at DM, Gundogan has played most of his more advanced.

JG cannot be relied upon to be a match winner (Once he has won us a match , from my recollection) which is why we need to buy another forward this summer.

Dunno about once, braces against Wolves and Everton, the only goal against Brighton in the FA Cup semi, hat trick against Shaktar.

His finishing has been poor this season in general but neither our points per game nor goals per game suffers when he starts.

If we're to buy a striker I'd rather it be someone that can play wide too as I still think Jesus could be class with a consistent run of games.

Think Jesus won us a game against Swansea right after we bought him.

Actually ,Carl JG is having an indifferent season.
However we need another striker a) because Sergio is now knocking on a bit and b) because Pep screwed it up badly with Mahrez.

So ship Mahrez out and get another in to play alongside the other two.

I don't give a fuck what the team is at this stage. Just go and get the job done Monday and next Sunday. And get this league over and done with. Cant listen to much more of this liverpool wankathon.

You should give a fcuk !


This is no time for experimenting and if Pep is serious , he will have Mahrez driving the Coach for Leicester back home on monday.

The Liverpool love in makes it all the sweeter when we blow them away on Sunday next week.

Come on , we're beyond that.

Stick to playing attacking and attractive footy.

Wanting to possess the ball and lots of movement

We'll be ok.

Can we please just make this one a nice straight forward 3/4-0 win so there’s no stress. Haven’t seen one in a while.

I am not saying no to stick to our plan, just motivate the fellas. Show them how bent was this season so far and how still it all about us and in our hands.

Apart from the obvious, there's another huge incentive for our boys to beat Leicester and that is so all the fans, all around the world, can revel in the disappointment and anger that the Dipper hordes will unleash.

Go on boys, do it for the candle makers.

Just play the best 11 and do them. Two early goals for us.
My fucking nerves are shot, and I don't think I'll survive a repeat of the spuds and Burnley games.

This. Hoping for early goals because I won't be able to hack it otherwise!

At the age of 74 I definitely need an easy win tomorrow.

I sometimes long for the wonderfully unpredictable games of the 70s 80s 90s and naughties. I never expected to win so it never hurt when we didn't win.

Now the buggers have conditioned me to expect victory every time!
Just when I'm drifting into my dotage...
Just when my heart is weakening....
Just when I need to be calm...

The rotten thoughtless glorious bastards!
