Graeme Souness

Here's Pep Guardiola with Patrick Davies.

Has he proved us all wrong?

Yeah, I think Pep tried, not tried to, but there was occasions where he left him out.

But when he plays, he scores goals.

I think he tried to give Jesus an opportunity to play, but no one has been able to consistently score the number of goals in the games that Sergio has done.

So I think in all the big games, he tends to perform.

He tends to get a goal out of nothing.

He's just proven consistently that he's the ultimate goal scorer.

How would he be feeling right now, Julian, do you think?

Yeah, deflated, gutted.

Obviously, he would have enjoyed getting the call to start the game, but...

You'll be looking at the fixture thinking, there's not much I'm going to potentially get out of this game.

I don't think Villa would have expected to have possession throughout the game for any spell, especially without a striker.

There's times when you're obviously backs against the wall, you just want to have an outlet and just go along.

They weren't able to do that today, so they're going to have to build up slow.

They just weren't able to string five passes together.

Is he going to break that record, Jolyon?

I would imagine so, definitely.

In regards to the level he's set and the bar he's set so far this season, it's very high.

And there's no reason to... As long as he can stay away from injury, there's no reason why he can't.
