when you see Specs you should automatically expect him to be unserious 😂😂
Tye number two with his stupid takes
ahah yea but surprisingly he was the only one sane with nunez ranking
More like cringe
@@what9331he's determined to be Rory😅
And CLUELESS !
The fact that he wanted to Jesus in the E category is DISRESPECTFULLY NAIVE
Considering the "personalities" they bring on this show like Buvey and Rory, for Specs to be the most consistently clueless person I see in that studio is almost impressive
I honestly thought for the first five mins it was a parody😮
never come across this specs guy before,
"well actshually" in physical form.
amen
need a bit of controversy to spark converstaion
Buvey doesn’t even have that bad of a ball knowledge, he is just trying to wind up people half the time. And Rory also isn’t as bad as some people think. A guy like Thogden is much, much worse
When the argument is on Jesus goals are a factor but when it reached Nicholas Jackson, you hear the argument is do not look at goals only, look at his talents.
also jesus injury record and the fact that he isnt even a 9 and he is still above nicholas jackson so idk what ur point is
They bring football humbugs on these shows to give nonsense opinions that are very biased to who they like
yeah it's stupid but there is the element that jackson is new to the prem, hes only played 4 prem games as a striker so he needs time. jesus has been in the prem for years and not only is he not a no.9, he's notorious for wasting chances for city and even arsenal fans have said so last season. jesus is a phenomenal player but as a striker hes not good.
@@micheal64722 arsenal fans and you are talking about bias?
It's almost as if Jackson has only played 4 premier league games and Jesus has played several seasons
Specs is the most unbearable combination of clueless and confident, his lack of ball knowledge is a wonder
hes defo trolling lad... Specs really knows ball !
I think u struggle to understand that he's a comedian lol
A podcast episode with just ty from aftv a specs would be a spectacle like no other 😂
Its all a bit lol
But he’s not funny
One conversation in and I’m already in shambles, I was literally questioning what I was hearing with the Jesus argument…
Jesus is not the son of God... End of debate...
Saturday Sociopaths
Only 3 strikers had 5 fewer goals than xG last season: Jesus, Havertz, and Nunez. I love Jesus, and hope he stays fit and bangs in 20 goals this season, but you can't be that wasteful and get an A rating. Jesus is rightfully a B, and Nunez is rightfully a C (since he's just as wasteful, without as many of Jesus' positive attributes). Jesus has a history of being wasteful, so he'll probably still be a B at the end of the season. Last season was Darwin's first in the prem, so he's the more likely to of the two to dramatically improve and become an A this season.
Jesus is underrated. Like was mentioned, he would start ahead of Man City's Alvarez.
@@r4h4al Then why did Pep keep Alvarez and release Jesus?
Darwin Nunez same category as solanke is criminal 😂😂😂😂
Disrespectful to Solanke
@@SoccerFanDan settle down
Solanke clears
I would go B with Nunez, no doubt he can be quite frantic in front of goal but his overall game is very good. To see that you would have to watch Liverpool week in week out which I doubt any of these guys do.
It's not disrespectful... Infact Solake should be higher...
It's amazing how Man city have found Alvarez for such a price. Great recruitment
Akanji city do wonders
and further payments into an offshore bank account
@@danmcgrath7322 haha! I am assuming if city does that, others team probably too
@@danmcgrath7322stop crying kid , so what's the real price then you seem to know much than your supposed to
Ragnick told manutd to sign him and they said no lol
Dougie got the best ball knowledge here, that tier list is shocking ngl
The only thing shocking is that Hojlund was even on here in the first place.... Deserves an F...
@@LetMeEat-KalvinPhillipsbored mate? Tryna look for arguments, ain’t you got Netflix?
whos dougie tho
@@maulanasyahrizaj7911 football daily mate, Sunderland fan, really knowledgeable and unbiased
@@TJR_27 trust I’m thinking, ain’t it hot enough with little mugs like that tryna get a reaction on a CZcams vid 🤣
As much as I like strikers who put others in the spotlight, Jesus' simply doesnt finish enough of his chances. City upgraded with Alvarez as a backup striker.
And to put Nunez in the same category as Action Jackson, wow the disrespect is incredible
Miss Jackson?
Jesus would already have a 20+ goal season if it wasn't for Aguero at City and his injury last year. I swear you people only watch the stats and highlights.
@@RafaelOliveira-gb3msthe only knock jesus has is injuries. When healthy he is an A but his injury record brings him down he has only played 2/4 games this season and he came off the bench for both because he is still recovering
Didn’t he have the best goal per 90 rate at city ? 17 g/a missing a majority of the season is nothing to scoff at
@@RafaelOliveira-gb3mslmao aguero literally was injured his last 2 years, and Jesus had his chances, but pep changed to a false 9 for a reason. U literally don’t know anything about city
The reason Son is great is because he show amazing performance both no9 and wing positions
Clinical finisher
Clinical finishing and we've seen countless world-class screamers from him. Last season was unlucky with consecutive injuries and a club in disarray... but his composure and skills are just next level
The struggles from Dougie and Joe are seriously mental😂😂😂
When they spoke about other strikers, they based off on their ‘current performance’ or ‘player’s ability’ or ‘talents’. But when they spoke about Darwin Nunez , they brought in PAST SEASON. I thought the ranking should be based on their current season and performance ? Nunez scored in Newcastle and got an assist in the Villa game btw. He’s always creating chaos on the pitch and defenders have no idea what to expect. He had a really great pre-season. Even today he had 2 assists in the international game. He’s going to just get better and better.
P.S. Darwin was 64 million not 80.
Darwin was 80m€. You use € when the deal isn't within the EPL! And secondly, who on Earth said that this ranking was based on this season?! It's their whole legacy with an inclination towards the latter portion of it. They did this with all of Alvarez, Jesus, Jackson, Son, Højlund, Jimenez, Richarlison, Watkins, Antonio, and more. I do not know where you got that idea from. The comparison was based on last season, this season, ability, goals scored and numbers(stats). Players like Nuñez and Jesus are clear on ability although of different type. Jesus is all round while Nuñez is a very natural number 9. But while Jesus has good numbers(enough for his play style), Nuñez doesn't seem to capital on his. The reason Jesus wasn't an A was cause he isn't as good of a striker as those in A although he most certainly is as good of a player in general if not better. Nuñez on the other hand is a striker. Nothing more or less. So all he will be judged for will be what one would expect from a striker. 9-12 goals win him a C, sth like 15-17 would win him a B and 20+ would win him an A. Anything out side of the ranges I mentioned is debatable. I mean let's be serious, would Nuñez with 9, 15 and 20+ goals all fit in 2 groups? I doubt it. A third group is needed and this season of his fits in it.
You know what you're talking about 🤞😤
Last season is what they meant by current performance. You can't judge players on 4 games. It's last season, plus how they've started this season. They do consider past history, but only when it supports a point. For example, Jesus has been wasteful his entire career, including last season, so that's a fair point for not rating him A. Jimenez was a solid B player in the past, but since his injury he's been awful, so his past is rightfully ignored.
@@madeupstory9510 Nunez scored 15 last season tho. he belongs in B, at least.
How do you put Nunez below those players. Crazy
Because he's not as good.
@@nathijomacwell when they talked about most of the players they mentioned current form and rn he’s arguably the best of them all. He got 15 goals in total last season and Isak got 19 but guess what he’s below Isak shocking. The agenda against this guy is embarrassing
@@enes5917 I really hope so cuz the disrespect is crazy
@@chris.48 in the prem isak is 1in2, darwin is 1in3. He has way more chances and wastes them.
Because Nunez only lives off moments. First the goal vs Madrid, then against United, and now against Newcastle
Darwin Nunez came of the bench against Newcastle scores 2 impossible goals with 10 men. Played against Aston Villa and torn their defence apart and assisted a goal. Played Uruguay with 2 assists destroying Chiles defense. Had an amazing preseason. His movement and ability to find space is elite. Last year ranked 9th for the number of shots on a poor Liverpool team and is the only player in this Top10 list to come mostly of the bench starting only 11 games. The bias against Liverpool in general and its players is something you wont miss a lot on Sky Sports.
He still needs to work on his finishing. Misses a lot of easy chances.
@@areebsiddiqui758 Agree, should have had a hattrick against Villa, Salah put it on a plate
@@areebsiddiqui758 Agree and he has improved alot, but you cannot put him in the same category as Solanke and these guys know it but find the best case to mock him. He is getting better and better and the start of last season did not help him a lot after the psychological blow from the red card or his language barrier and he came about publicly about them.
@@nathijomacgk got a touch
@@curtisjackson2478 so?
Specs ball knowledge is about as good and reliable as slab-heads long shots
funny how they put isak in B when he scored 10 goals overall last season. And then nunez in C who scored 15 goals overall. Both good players but i think Nunez deserves a bit more respect
Nunuez played like another 700 minutes and he only has one more goal/assist.
Nunez lives off moments. First the goal vs Madrid, then against United, and now against Newcastle
@@Fmfcgjust because that’s what you remember of him doesn’t mean everyone else thinks the same
Nunez played UCL football. Isak didn't. Also just watching both everybody can tell that Isak is better
@@david91lvb Nunez is the reason Liverpool haven't finished top 4
Dougie pulling his hair out over Jesus 😂
its so important to define what the questions are, so that the guests are also able to have a good discussion
They got this very wrong
One look at this bunch, you know that a table of ladies drunk at a Sunday brunch have better football knowledge
@@nhd6128I swear this list couldn't be any better. You are either jealous or unsatisfied by a player from your team
The question 'Rank these 20 striker in 5 categories based on their ability + Natural number 9 instinct' which they did. The things is, however, they didn't mentioning everytime. Like with Jesus, he's talent is guaranteed so what was left to address was his goal scoring ability which he lacks. Whether it's because he is injury prone or because he has a ceiling that limits him doesn't matter, he lacks the ability to poach goals. THAT'S IT!
Yeah but I think the program intentionally left it vague so that the panelist can come up with "creative" arguements and then get viewers to comment on social media
Haaland is that good it’s just unfair to include him 😂 what times I’m living in 😍
Plastic
Messi is god of football and Haaland is son of god. I wish they were in the same generation so us people could watch them playing against each other. Completely opposite style lol
@@marcusmountain4868 my profile picture is literally me on my day of birth with a city teddy 😂 doesn’t get much more loyal than that
@@mcfc9320 your pops was looking out for you for moments like these since day one I reckon, nicely done mate, you're bulletproof lol
@@martincapek96 cheers pal I’m very grateful he suffered home and away in the third tier so we can now live this dream time together, never ever would we think of winning a treble
Sonny scorefd 106 as a winger behind kane. Now as a striker i am really excited what ha can do. Sonny is so fundamentally sound 20-25 goals are very feasible.
Álvarez is like Aguero he can score from any angle.
Nunez creates chances which is the main thing, he'll come good
He already is
Haaland is such a cheat code its only fair if his not included 😂😂😂
Ollie Watkins over Gabriel Jesus is sacrilege
Watkins is better cmon
He’s an selfish player
Watkins scores far more regularly and has inferior support. Ergo, better player.
Watkins also is far less injury prone.
@Matthew-bu7fg Watkins massively performs xg, if you watch Villa play his current scoring rate isn't sustainable
The disrespect to Martinelli is ridiculous
15 goals in the league as a winger last season as well
Well he’s not a no9 for a start
Martinelli isn't their striker, he plays wide left
I'm an Arsenal fan and if he gets injured we will know the true value of Martinelli. The number 1 driver for us when it comes to transitioning to attack. Most reliable forward we got. I think he was the best dribbler in all of premier league last season with 15 goals scored.
Don't Arsenal need a top rotation attacker, no offensive to Viera, Nelson and Smith-Rowe, also consider an injury or two. Trossard is better than them all. But City had Mahrez and Foden on the bench most of the time.
Son as an A grade striker is so obvious they don't even talk about him. LOL Wonder what Conte was thinking.
Can only imagine Joe apologising to Dougie after having him on here
Being a #9 is obviously about goals but you can’t underestimate the other stuff a #9 does
That's why they mention assists. If you have to start talking about stuff other than goal contributions then he's not a number 9 anymore. At least in the context of this ranking
I would say, Calum Wilson is quite literally the number 9 for Newcastle. And isak is 14 like henry funnily enough. Wilson has 13 in 22 games, but has been a sub so not many minutes. In these games hes scoring once every 50 mins played. Since april. Only player with a better minutes per goal last season was Haaland. And Wilson netted 18 goals. Not too shabby.
Wilson plays as a centre forward, and would do every game if not for injuries. In that sense he is a poor mans aguerro.
In the last 15 games in premier league hes on fire. Since coming back from injury last season.
Agreed. Wilson is Newcastles no. 9 but they do have to wrap him in cotton wool with his injury history. He's an excellent striker, A on the list
Great points, I would love to see Wilson fit for a whole season, I would be interested to see how he'd do in the golden boot race, how can someone like Taiwo be a C as well, surely if he can score consistently for forest he could do so for a better team who create more chances?
@@seanhack628 yeah, and they ranked Lutons striker so low because he's not played in the Prem yet were about to rate Man U's Haaland from Wish as an A or B!
I’v been waited what they said about Son. It’s so quick to put “A”. 😮😅😊
Literally took 1 second to be spotted.😮
Specs’ first and last appearance for sky sports 😂
Specs saying Watkins is far better than Jesus and should start over him should result in him losing his season ticket
Arsenal need to have a word with Sky sports - having Specs on representing their fan base is just an embarrassment
Darwin was £64m not 80, and he was motm against villa ? So i wouldnt say inconsistent based on right now.
Yh overall in his Liverpool career he's shown flashes of brilliance but hasn't had the consistency
Salah was MotM, Darwin was wasteful
@@Watch-out3 had about 10 starts that's why
@nathijomac you didn't watch the game if you think Darwin was wasteful. Got unlucky and another day would of got a hatrick.
@@lewisjames4101bro this means wasteful and i‘m a Liverpool Fan and watched the whole Game mate
Nketiah is defo more of a stiker than Jesus because how Jesus plays, he is more like a false nine that drops deep and i personaly love that....underrated player if u ask me, superb on ball and always gives deffenders nightmares, also it seems like he makes everyone else around him better because of his smart movement
The ball knowledge on this lot is similar to a lone tire rolling down on a highway in a scenic drive
lol yeah argue that Jesus isn’t a number 9 because he comes deep and links up play…then when Isak comes up they say he’s a number 9 because he comes deep and links up play like Henry 😂😂
This is genuinely one of the worst tier lists I have ever seen!
Poor dougie, his fellow guests have such woeful ball knowledge lmao
Isak is absolutely a centre forward. Personally I think he's far better there than wide left- his touch is immaculate which brings everyone else into play and he looks far more comfortable centrally....plus he's one of the most composed players I've ever seen . He can still float out wide for moments but he's a 9, no doubt.
As a Chelsea fan, Alvarez is definitely A and it shouldn't be even debatable. He is better than Jesus and it is not even close. Even though Alvarez played more games for City but since he was mostly coming off the bench, the amount of minutes he played are similar to Jesus across all competitions but he scored more goals.
That spurs supporter when they said richarlison was E 😂😭
Love seeing the comments from people who don’t know what Specs is like and to never take him seriously.
The expression on all the faces when darwin comes up says how special he is
Nunez will be A, if you do this again next season.
Exactly
yeah next season
Yeah, in a few years maybe.
Very possible, but as of right now he's rightfully ranked C.
@@toddmacadam3888 should be b , ivan toney's goals are mostly penalties and nunez is alot better than jackson.
Disrespect on Jesus is crazy
Should be a C
Some of the arguments being made were shocking omd🤣
Specs needs to stop smoking those plants in his backyard
If specs alone did this list, half the list would have been in E
Can’t wait to see Richarlison’s reaction to this
He’s an awful 9 to be honest. Has more yellow card than actual premier league goals for spurs and he’s a 9
Hope he doesn’t see it tbh he’s way too sensitive to these things. Allows each criticism to bring his morale lower and lower. He needs to step away from the internet and media
I love it when people outside of Brazil wear our team's kits!
They're arguing Nunez for D AND C??? I am absolutely confused why i come back to listen to these lot
yeah, he should be in E tbh
@@Matthew-bu7fg facts
Isak at B is criminal
Not really…how many PL goals has he actually got?
Tell me you support Newcastle without telling me you support Newcastle... B is fair
B is fair after one season where he had injuries and was playing on the left
😂😂joking right u are
Your right he should be c
Specs is violating Jesus is an A/B no way his he a D
come back to me at the end of the season but i guarantee nunez will be talked about differently and given the respect he deserves
if alvarez played for arsenal and jesus for city (with the same goals scored) they will be switched on this list
The disrespect from the so called "Arsenal fans" towards Jesus is crazy.
yeah because Jesus always bangs in 20 goals a season. Oh wait he's only got more than 10 goals in three of his seven premier league seasons despite having the Manchester City and Arsenal midfields assisting him.
@@Matthew-bu7fg He adds so much more to the team then just goals. He's the best pressing forward in the world, his main job isn't to score, it's to create chances and opportunities for his teammates to score, which is why arsenal were so good last season. Nelli, Saka, Odegaard and xhaka were all scoring from the chances he was creating by his link up and movement
@@Seth-ec1dkAlvarez is literally better in every category u mentioned. Alvarez is the best pressing ST itw
@@ColbyMcDowell Alvarez must be the best striker in the world then. Better at everything that Jesus is good at and can finish. Wow he must be R9
@@ColbyMcDowell You're talking trash if you really believe Julian Alvarez would come to Arsenal and do better than Jesus
Jo was Brazil number 9 and he was dry too 😂😂 Richarlinson is an E
To honest Brazilian no9 have been sub par since Ronaldo retired in 2011
@@Agee1do u think Firmino can score more goals than Richarlison if picked by brazil
You should do this with other positions also if you can put isak in b and say he's not a number 9 then wilson who is our number 9 he should be atleast a b. Isak a for potential and wilson b only 2 other teams have a better striker option than us
"I wake up one day he's an E and I wake up another day he's an A"
"What day was that?"
That killed me😅😅😅
This is painful to watch.
Man wanted to put Watkins on A after saying Jesus should be in D. If there was a football compass, his is way off, wow.
Watkins has scored 14, 11 and 15 goals in his three premier league seasons playing in front of Aston Villa's midfield.
Jesus has also got three campaigns of over 10 goals. Difference is, Jesus has had seven premier league campaigns compared to Watkins' three and Jesus plays in front of Manchester City/Arsenal's midfield.
But you keep peddling the myth that Jesus is a brilliant number nine.
@Matthew-bu7fg jesus is better than Watkins what are you talking about😂😂😂
@@chrisking8579 who's scored more goals over the last three years? Watkins.
Who's got the better goals ler game ratio? Watkins.
Who plays with better players week in, week out? Jesus.
So in what world is Gabriel Jesus better? Having a fancy name doesnt make you better.
@Matthew-bu7fg fancy name 🤣 .jesus has fewer appearances, though. We will never know how jesus will perform with a midfield like aston villa and Watkins with a midfield like arsenal, but for now we deal with the facts on the table.
@@chrisking8579 goals per game, Watkins is still on top.
Youre living in denial very well
The ball knowledge in this panel..wallahi🥶.
The irony in calling Jesus unreliable.....
He's one of if not the best floor player in the world.
He'll always give you atleast a 7/10 every week.
Funny seeing other fans from different clubs thinking watkins is a goalscorer 😂, watch him every single game, he misses 3 golden chances before scoring 1, arsenal can by all means have him from us.
For real, I'm a Villa fan and he massively overperforms xg. Watching him play I know his current rate of scoring isn't sustainable
jesus with 11 goals and 7 assists for only 2/3s of the season with a some of those games coming back from injury meaning not playing to his full and not getting lots of minutes
yesssssssssssssssssssssss dougie! I put the video on to listen to in the background and heard a rogue 'thats ridiculous' and knew, good lad
The lack of ball knowledge is astonishing.
Jesus is an A, simply because besides he can score, he also makes space for players alongside him to score too, let alone picking up the ball and driving into opposition defence.
Definitely not an A
lots of the strikers on that list can do that. Are they all an A?
His goals record is paltry. He was lucky to get a B.
@@Matthew-bu7fg facts
As soon as i saw that Nunez was in the same catergory as Solanke i switched off.
Specs litteraly wrong on every single one. Antonio is EASILY a C level striker, he's slow and doesn't even score a lot
could you do a video of best 11 in each position right now, best GK, best LB, RB, CB, best DM + CM + AM and best RW + CF + LW please. Example Right Wing for me personally is Salah, Messi has fell off form recently and I think Saka will be the future best Right Wing, but Salah has been scoring 20 ish league goals + 10 ish league assists for 5 maybe 6 years now its undeniable he's the best RW right now.
Please do this video
Love your content would love to see you guys try and do this
'taiwo only does it because its forest'... yeah i mean only scored 7 in a row against small teams like Arsenal (2), Man U, Chelsea + a few others on top of that. B.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say something crazy, but I think Son's gonna score 30 goals this season as a #9, shock the league and himself.
Yh it's definitely possible mate, especially since they finally have a fantastic eriksen replacement in Madison, who himself is on fire, son will not drop deep like Kane either so will always be in and around the box for him to find, with Son up top, Johnson and kulusevski on the wings I have no idea how richarlison will get any minutes
@@seanhack628 I agree, it's ange ball with maddison, sorta like pocce with eriksen, except with solomon and johnson on the sides, we're gonna be a whole lot faster. Couple that with Son's deadly finishes inside and outside, I just keep picturing lots of goals for him at #9. Btw I see solomon and Johnson with kulu and richarlison coming in late when we're down, but anyway, I've never been more excited to watch the spurs play.
@@dodgerswschamp5166 this statement is sacrilege
I don't trade Darwin for any other striker on that chart. The rest can go in the bin
Specs is a prime example of how anyone can hop on a tear list and start ranking.
Cant belive the Jesus hate 11 goals and 7 assists while being injured for 3-4 months, when hes out the team we significantly see drops in effectiveness in our attack. Its always 'arsenal need a proper 9', hes a false 9 and allows our winger and midfilders to have plus 12+ goals aswell. If arsenal had osihmen saka and martinelli wouldnt do what tey do best and all they would be doing is crossing. Jesus benefits the team.
Yet city benefitted more with a number 9 than when they had Jesus.
but thats city, they looked worse even with haaland until they changed up their system and put cbs in midfield and wingbacks@@emmanuelasare2908
Having seen Buvey and Rory on this for Specs to come close to the most unhinged pundit is honestly impressive
I can't imagine being an Arsenal fan and having Specs representing the fan base on mainstream TV.
The moment Specs says Jesus in D is the moment the video gets stopped and closed…
What is bro cooking about Jesus, “26 apps, 11 goals, 7 assists is bad” 😭
Isak, Ferguson and Højlund are A tier. All better than Álvarez.
Not Hojlund lol
100% never watched hoijlund play, Isak is debatable I’ll give you that and your only saying Ferguson because you saw him get a hat trick last week, he’s still way less proven than Alvarez
Taking minutes per game into account. Jesus still scored a goal every 189 minutes, Ivan Toney scored a goal every 148 minutes played. So Duge, your argument still dosen't weigh up. Toney is better as a NO.9 than Jesus
The fact that guy was trying to put Toney in B shows me how little he knows
Jesus is not getting the credit he deserves here:
Just looking at "11 goals last season" is shallow because less we forget he was injured for 1/3 of the season, and even when he's not scoring, he's still involved the goal with his superb link play, such as at Wolves when he held off the defence to pass to Viera who crossed to Odegaard to score, a superb showcase of teamwork & link play. He offers more than just scoring goals, akin to Harry Kane. He's not a pure number nine like Haaland but he doesn't need to be.
But sure, just judge him by his goal numbers, like when Carragher picked Jack Grealish over Ryan Giggs because he had more goals & assists in their treble seasons.
Granted, his finishing could be improved; his main job is still to score goals, and hopefully he does, but if he remains fit this entire season, plays regularly & if the others are up to speed, he'll score twenty goals, which he should be doing every season minimum.
He's our number 9. ❤
Well like you said, harry kane does all that and still bang in goals
Imagine thinking Jesus can’t be a top striker because strikers only score goals….. Tell that to Benzema when he scored 15 per year because his role was to open up space to Ronaldo.
Yes because Ronaldo was a great scorer so it made sense for benzema to play 2nd fiddle but who is Jesus playing 2nd fiddle to? both Saka and Odeegard are not natural goal scorers so they need a player to feed and that is what Jesus should be doing.. City needed a top striker and a goal scorer yet Jesus could not do that for them and that is why they let him go for Halaand so yes Jesus is not a good striker.
@@emmanuelasare2908 Saka, Martinelli, and Odegaard scored close to 50 goals last year, Jesus was a foil to their success while scoring himself. It’s not a goal scoring striker role, but it’s still a very effective striker role and he is world class at that role.
Basically just Specs and the other dude roasting Dougie 🤣🤣🤣 Class
How to out yourself as not a football fan. You know these 2 randomers but the ex prem striker is "the other dude" L from you ngl
@@ryanpullen3412 You missed the point bro maybe in another 3 weeks you’ll understand
Jay Bothroyd saying Evan Ferguson is a C because he’s just a goal scorer, but then saying Jesus is in B because he isn’t just a goal scorer is WILD and so hypocritical.
This just proves most footballers don’t have brains, he said at the start “This is about number 9, not who is a better footballer” then ranks Evan Ferguson lower than Jesus 🤦🏻♂️
Gabriel Jesus is in A, but not because of goalscoring, he creates a lot of space and he helps create a lot of chances for his teammates.
Julian Alvarez, Gabriel Jesus and Isak are the only ones that should be at A.
Ivan Toney is a B+, he is very close to A, but not quite
Nunez is at B, like come on, he got around 14 goals mainly of the bench in his debut season mainly coming of the bench. Julian Alvarez got 17 goals coming mainly from the bench.
life advice never take Specs seriously.
Tonye scores more goals than Jesus in his sleep so that makes no sense.. If you are rating them based on being a striker then Toney wins easily
He started nearly double than on the bench
I disagree with the Alvarez take, while he is a great player, I don't see him as an actual number 9, more of a False 9. Also 9 goals in 1500 minutes is not A Tier prolific striker anyways (We are talking about Premier League rankings). Fine with the rest of it.
@@RippahOverlord I agree I think he played for a Villa, Spurs, Chelsea or Brighton, even Brentford could he do what Toney can? he wouldn't look anywhere as good. It is easier to score for City than it is for those teams.
@@user-bq2tc6dh6t yeah, he's definitely lacking in that area, I'd say Toney would probably do a better job as a pure 9 than Alvarez in any team
Dougie's ball knowledge in the bin as per usual, never fails.....!
anyone using the phrase "ball knowledge" is 12 years old
Isak and Watkins in B is harsh if Toney is in A. I would say Toney is a better finisher then them but Isak and Watkins are technically better players on the ball with their pace
To put hojlund in the same category as beto and Cameron archer, and UNDER Solanke is criminal
Nunez class C🤨 he should be class B , along with Awoniyi and Antonio, and Alvarez class A is debatable look at team he has around him👈,But Richarlson is definitely a E class I can't believe he's Brazil best number 9 from the likes they had year's ago R9 etc😅
Jay Bothroyd knows ball…liked him a lot here
They’re actually getting in people who know ball instead of people shouting over each other now
How can he know ball when he said he’d take Ollie Watkins over Jesus at arsenal 🤦♂️
@@samzh0174Watkins literally scored more goals than Jesus last season, and in a worse team
@@samzh0174he said he preferred him as a #9, but he said Jesus was a better player! Clean your ears out
@@JoshPhilpJesus was injured most of the time, while Watkins has always played
why do they keep inviting specs 🤣🤣 he’s too unserious
I honestly can't take Specs seriously after some of those takes
Darwin agenda is crazy 🤣 last season he was B, this season he will be A
Just shows how reactionary football fans are, Watkins has done it for half a season under Emery, Jesus has done it for years
Watkins is so overrated ... even players like Wilson outscored him and no one talks about him
Done what? Played on the right for City cause he wasn't good enough as a striker. His replacement Alvarez is already a better player than him. He'll never be a 20-25 goal a season striker in the Prem.
@areebsiddiqui758 I'm not saying Jesus is A tier but I am saying he's been better than Olli Watkins over their respective careers
They really bring in anyone onto these despite lack of any football knowledge
Richarlison got found out 😂 He's primarily a wind up merchant.
