Alexis Sanchez: Manchester United forward’s goalscoring woes ‘like a bottle of ketchup’, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says
Scoring just a single goal may be enough for Alexis Sanchez to breathe new life into his woeful Manchester United career, according to interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.Solskjaer, the Norwegian, pulled no punches when he claimed he ‘can’t do anything about Alexis Sanchez’ in the wake of last week’s Champions League defeat by PSG, with the Chile forward anonymous after being brought on as a substitute.2He has been in and out of the starting XI during Solskjaer’s two-month tenure following his recovery from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for six weeks at the back end of last year.However, Sanchez is in line for an increased role over the next couple of weeksin the absence of Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial, both of whom have been sidelined through injuryAnd Solskjaer was more hopeful when discussing Sanchez returning to form in the build-up to Monday’s FA Cup fifth round clash against Chelsea, bringing levity to proceedings by comparing the 30-year-old’s situation to trying to get tomato ketchup out of a bottle.Solskjaer said: “I think he’s a very good player, he’s very talented but of course there are only so many things you can sit down and talk about and tweak.

“If he could just get that goal I’m sure that will release some of his confidence. That’s what it’s about when you go through periods that you don’t perform up to your standard because we know there is a very, very good player there.“It’s just one of those things, like a bottle of ketchup when it never comes but then when it suddenly comes, loads comes out. When it comes, it comes. I’m sure he’ll be fine.“He can still play for many, many years. He’s been here for a year, I’ve been here for two months now and he’s been injured for the first part of it.“It’s unfair to just expect him to be at the top straight away. I’m sure we’ll see the best of him (from now) until the end of the season.”The loss to PSG in the first leg of a Champions League last-16 tie was United’s first with Solskjaer at the helm and left the Red Devils with a mountain to climb at the Parc des Princes. Solskjaer, though, refused to accept that United’s only remaining hope of silverware this season is the FA Cup.He said: “I’m not going to say it’s the last chance because we’re going to go down to Paris and give it a go. Of course the chance of going through there is slimmer now than it was before the game.“There’s quite a few heads there where their pride has been hurt so I’m sure they’ll bounce back on Monday.“We need every player to perform at the best level because we’re challenging to be top four, we’re challenging against very, very good teams so we need the players to step up now.2“You’d expect that at Manchester United towards the end of the season. You always do well towards the end of the season.”Lingard and Martial are expected to be sidelined for up to three weeks because of injury but Solskjaer is unfazed ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge, pointing out he rested some key personnel in the previous round at Arsenal.He added: “We beat Arsenal in the last cup round without Anthony and without (Marcus) Rashford, now it’s without Anthony and Jesse. I’m sure we’ll conjure up something.”

Leeds United in talks with Paris Saint-Germain owners Qatar Sports Investments over buying a stake in the Yorkshire club
Leeds United are holding talks with six possible investors, including Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) who have entered talks to buy a stake in the Yorkshire side and enter English football for the first time.QSI, who own Ligue 1 Champions Paris Saint-Germain have been in talks with Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani and the Championship club in recent months, according to the Financial Times.getty2A spokesman for QSI told the Financial Times that the UK market is top of its list as they look for new opportunities.Leeds suffered play-off heartbreak, as they were beaten 4-2 in the second-leg semi final by Derby at Elland Road, despite winning the first-leg.Earlier this month, QSI said they were considering withdrawing funding from PSG due to their lack of Champions League success believing it would be detrimental to their image. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thanihas reportedly lost interest in the French side and feels the lack of progress reflects badly on the state and has brought an increase in criticism as a result, while financial concerns are also part of his doubts.QSI, a subsidiary of the state-owned Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), took control of PSG in 2011, purchasing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while vowing to make the club as big as Barcelona and Real Madrid and investing close to 1billion since.getty2

Chelsea transfer news: Blues have ’60 per cent chance’ of signing Christian Pulisic
Bookmakers believe there is a 60 per cent chance Chelsea will sign Christian Pulisic in the January transfer window.The Borussia Dortmund attacker, who has also been linked with Liverpool in recent months was a bright spark for the United States in their friendly with England which saw more fans sit up and take notice of his talent.2A move to the Premier League is almost certain with the German club themselves, as well as the player’s father, speaking about a possible exit previously.Dortmunds sporting director, Michael Zorc, said: We have known these rumours for many years. We plan at least until the end of the season with him.Meanwhile, in the summer, Pulisic’s father Mark told Sky Sports: “The Premier League is a league where he’s always aspired to be in and play in. As a player nowadays, there are so few players staying at one club throughout a career, the chances of him moving to different clubs and leagues is a high probability.”2And now, according to bookies, Dortmund are 11/10 to keep the American attacker in January meaning a transfer is a real possibility, and Chelsea’s odds of landing him shortenedto just 4/6 on Tuesday morning.

Manchester City: What has happened to misfiring striker Gabriel Jesus?
Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus is not having the best of seasons.He may have nabbed an assist last night in City’s 2-1 win over Watford, but the Brazil international did not look closer to adding to his paltry tally of one goal in the 2018/19 Premier League campaign.16It’s been a tough season with Sergio Aguero’s continued excellence in front of goal keeping Jesus out, but even when given the chance in the English top flight, he’s not been able to find the goal as he once did.Not that head coach Pep Guardiola is unhappy with the 21-year-old. Far from it, in fact; he believes his second-choice striker will soon hit form.“It’s important he had the chances, creating the spaces, and the second goal he created for himself,” Guardiola said.“[He] does many, many other things, in terms of the pressing, in terms of helping in many, many situations.”But what do the statistics say about how Gabriel Jesus is performing and what is going wrong for him right now? Find out below…

Last time out (vs Watford)

Going into the game, the signs were positive for the Brazilian.There was the potential for a full 90 minutes against an out-of-form Watford side – a team Jesus had scored against on the previous two occasions he had come up against them –while he was the focal point of the attack with Sergio Aguero out injured.And things were looking good from the off as he registered his first shot of the night after just 81 seconds; drifting to the left side of the penalty area to pick the ball up from a clipped David Silva pass, Jesus eventually saw his attempt, fired after cutting inside, blocked by Kiko Femenia.16He immediately followed up with a missed header, crumpling under the challenge of Christian Kabasele – resulting in some time spent on his haunches.Jesus defensive nous shone through in the early stages; he was on his toes almost constantly, running back sharpish to press opponents when possession was lost by his team-mates.16With the ball predominantly on the right side of the pitch with Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva, the Brazil ace was often at the back post, hardly moving and well covered by the imposing Kabasele.His pressing was his best asset as he forced errors, but it did take him too far back on several occasions with Leroy Sane and one of the two Silvas often ending up higher than Jesus on the pitch.The assist for Mahrez looks pretty smart on the face of it, but on closer inspection, if youre feeling critical, it looks like his pass misses the intended recipient – Bernardo Silva – only to end up at the Algeria winger anyway.16A poor free header sent high and wide after 67 minutes will have done his confidence in front of goal no favours, and while Jesus was offside, the flag did not get raised to save him.This was quickly followed by a chip over the on-rushing Ben Foster that went wide of the post when he really should have done better.And as Watford pressed forward in the later stages, gaining their consolation goal and attempting to get a winner, Jesus was left on the fringes of the game until he was replaced by Aymeric Laporte.

Overall stats this season

This season, Jesus clearly hasnt had many minutes on the pitch so a full judgement is perhaps a touch hasty.In the Premier League hes now spent 471 minutes on the pitch but only managed one goal and two assists, with one of the latter coming in last night’s win at Vicarage Road.These direct goal contributions come in four starts and seven substitute appearances, and it appears his shooting is being stifled more than anything.In three Champions League starts Jesus has three goals and no assists, but hes averaging 5.6 shots per 90 minutes compared to the four per 90 minutes hes managing domestically.16Some may argue he plays more of a role in build-up play in the Premier League, but this doesnt really bear out with 0.9 key passes per game in the English top flight compared to one per match in Europe.He is, however, dribbling more in the Premier League, completing 0.7 per match in comparison to his 0.3 per match in the Champions League.The concerning thing for Jesus is that team-mate Aguero is putting up similar figures, averaging 4.2 shots per 90 domestically and four shots per 90 in Europe.WhoScored16But it is Jesus’ accuracy which is the huge problem right now, something that was evident against Watford.Aguero has only missed four big chances in the Premier League this season during his 965 minutes, while Jesus has missed an astonishing 10 in pretty much half the time.16Creatively, though, Jesus does have the upper hand on Aguero, creating three big chances across the season, the same as his rival in a far shorter time.

Positioning problems

Against Watford, Jesuss average position on the ball was slightly deeper than Mahrez and only just ahead of Sane, highlighting his ability to drop back and link play.SofaScore16His touch map clears this up even further, with Jesus finding the ball in three main areas left of the penalty area, left of centre in front of the 18-yard-box, and on the right of the centre circle in the opponents half.SofaScore16To contrast, in a match with Brighton and Hove Albion – similar sized opponents to Watford, with imposing centre-backs – which ended in a 2-0 win this season, Aguero still managed to get a huge amount of the ball in positions higher up the field and in a more centralised position, while also linking play outside of the area and towards the left flank.SofaScore16SofaScore16

Where hes taking shots and their quality

We already know Jesus is missing his big chances this season, and this appears to be the main reason for his lack of goals.This is, of course, understandable, but why is this the case?The 21-year-old – and we must take his age into account considering the experience the 30-year-old Aguero can bring to the table – appears to take most of his shots on the left side of the penalty area, seriously diminishing his chances of finding the back of the net.Understat16To make things worse, several are towards the left-hand edge of the box, like his early shot against Watford, which are incredibly hard chances to convert.Jesus can count himself unlucky, however, with the five chances attempted from inside the six-yard box which have been saved by opposition goalkeepers.When you compare Jesus’ 2018/19 shot map to the same graphic from last season, one is surprised as a higher number of his shots are in the centre of the box, which leads us to believe the issue is more to do with his positioning.Understat16Aguero, with a bigger sample size, proves that being central is the way to go.He doesn’t take much on towards the left-hand side of the area, which contributes further to the explanation that Jesus’ positioning is to blame for his lack of goals.The majority of the Argentine’s shots are attempted from a position between the goalposts in the 18-yard-box, and while hes also taking a lot more potshots with low expected goals values, Manchester City’s all-time leading goalscorer is buying tickets and winning raffles at this point in time, as he has done across his time in the Premier League.Understat16And it’s the same in Aguero’s shot map last season, showing he is not changing his attacking habits, even though Guardiola wants an all-round striker like Jesus who gives more to the full team performance.UnderStat16

Conclusion

Jesus is clearly a player who thrives on confidence, as his start to life in the Premier League two years ago proved, and right now, despite a hat-trick against Shakhtar Donetsk in Europe, the youngster really needs to play his way into form.Coming up against Watford’s Christian Kabasele won’t have helped Jesus given the Belgian is an extremely capable defender who has a history of marshalling top quality strikers, but Tuesday’s match showed that Jesus just needs to get his eye back in.He’s taking the right amount of shots, but they are just not quite from the right areas, as shown by the shot maps over the last season and a half.16His form is probably just an extended dip in what has already been an impressive start to life at Manchester City, and making himself available in more central areas inside the penalty area appears to be the perfect way to get back on the scoresheet, something Jesus will be hoping to do throughout Aguero’s injury absence over the festive period.
