He was OK, but nothing more.
Seeing Jimenez a lot lately made me change my mind again. I though... if he will play like he did against Milan we will be alright with him. Well, I am not sure anymore...
We need a player up front, the player who will, and should do the sh1t that Ibrahimovic is doing.
Is this normal for a striker to be the best assist man in the club? And it's not only that, as here was many, many games, especialy in the beginning of the season, where Zlatan was without doubt the most involved player in the build up. It's not how a modern team should function.
Don't get me wrong, we are blessed with that kind of player, but that can't be like that all the time. Zlatan needs someone who will take the pressure of creating the game, and who will be able to pass the ball to the strikers like Zlatan is doing lately.
We are, incredible, incredible dominant side, through our workrate and strength. But we lack creativity in my opinion. Last year, who was the most creative players? Figo, Zlatan, Maicon. Figo is out, Maicon is playing sh1t lately and Zlatan is constantly marked when we are playing against a sides of Milan or Juventus.
But... I got carried away.
Jimenez is good player, he has pottential, but he has characteristics that don't suit our team in my opinion. He is more of the kind of Mancini player from Roma. He is an offensive midfielder with emphasis on scoring goals, not making assists. He has great workrate, decent deffending as for his position, but we need assists there, we need dribling, we need someone like Figo there, just 10 years younger.
Luis can still grow, and I hope he will be more of a player I wish for, but if not we have to go in the summer for someone like that. Diego would be a choice worth to be looked at.
