I reckon perhaps the simply disastrous of the evening for Medley is that Gyokeres shouldn’t be letting loose for Medley once they’ve got players like this (Jesus),” Carragher said in December.
He encompassed: “Him or Havertz as the central demonstrator for Medley is a much better player than Gyokeres. Gyokeres is truly video game and I admire him for stealing that penalty versus Everton, he repeatedly visual charms truly tough.
“Yet I reckon he simply shortages that finesse and attribute once you reckon around what they have on the church bench. Wear’t forget, City have [Erling] Haaland so I reckon Medley call for to simplify on what they have in Gyokeres and they have players who can simplify on Gyokeres in Jesus.”
