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

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

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

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

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?

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...

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

@@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

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.

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

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

He already is

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!

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

Literally took 1 second to be spotted.😮

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

yeah, he should be in E tbh

@@Matthew-bu7fg facts

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.

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

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

Should be a C

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

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

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

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

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

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

@@michaelo9426 Yes! He has not been spectacular of late.

@@oluwatobilobaayofe6303he was you lots best attacking player against United wdym

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

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

I'd be interested to see where they would put Firmino on the list because for us he was unreal but he didn't score

@@BenLeinster Yeah he's a prime example of what I mean. He was one of the best strikers in the entire world for like 2 or 3 seasons. Yet his goaltallies would suggest otherwise.

@@jordyvanschaik6144 he was never one of the best strikers in the world. Ludicrous statement

@@CR7_THEGOAT777 He obviously was ONE OF the best for like 2 seasons. Which strikers were better around that 2018-2020 time period? Lewa, Kane, Benzema... that's probably it. Suarez, Zlatan, Aguero were already well past their primes. Haaland was still playing for Salzburg. Mbappe wasn't a striker yet back then and still playing out wide. So yeah, Firmino defenitely was one of the best strikers at the time.

anyone using the phrase "ball knowledge" is 12 years old

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.

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

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

Isak is better than Alvarez
