Raul Jimenez has found his scoring form again as Fulham turn red hot in the Premier League with back-to-back 5-0 wins. Sebastian Salazar and Herculez Gomez wonder if the scoring streak will last, and what it might mean for the Mexican national team.

Raul Jimenez is one of those players with 0 haters, glad to see him look like his old self again… 👏🏼
He is getting back in form hope he can score more goals
at the expense of henry martin santi too good to be on the bench
Yes
I think the goals are also partly due to that his general play and integration within Marcos system has been progressively better during this season. He was invisible at the beginning, then leading up to the games with goals we were seeing improved hold up and link up play.
Mexico doesn’t have someone to connect the midfield and the forwards. That’s what he is doing at Fulham. Would love to see him play WITH Santi Gimenez.
He’s back also his confidence is stronger!
I love the discussion.. it forces El Tri to start considering playing with #2 points front strikers- The MexiCANS Double (G)Jimenez Monsters…
It was going to take time for his brain to get the plasticity it needs to relearn what he had lost with the neural damage he had. If his mind takes over from here on in a positive way, his brain will allow his body to do what he likes to do! Score goals and be involved with the play making.
How about Puebla's Memo Martinez? Seems to be a late bloomer like Jared Borgetti, Oribe Peralta, and Henry Martin.
Delighted for Raùl that his tenacity and hard work is paying off. The talent was always there it’s great to see it being realised. COYW 🤍🖤
For once in a long time, Mexico has depth at striker🙏
Hercules has always been a hater.
We could have Haaland playing for Mexico and it would not make a difference because we dont have creative midfielders and our wingers like Hirving Lozano and Antuna cant cross a ball to save their lives ! Lozano 100% of the time tries to cut inside and go for a shot even tho he has a horrible long shot and rarely scores. Lozano reminds me of when Martial or Rashford are told to play wingers and sure they can escape markers but they will not more likely try to score themselves instead of passing it. The Pumas Huerta guy is the old dude i seen who looks for a pass and our stupid coach likes to bench him. Mexico is just pure trash especially its backline with the likes of gallardo/sanchez/montes/ and everyone else. mexico is so effin trash and feel bad for santi for picking mexico to play for
I remember in 2019 when he played in LA mexico vs cuba and Raul Jimenez scored and came to celebrate right where me and my sister were siting. I will never forget that. Felt like I was inside a movie
Santi is over hyped. I want to see Santi score in the premier league.
Santi and Raul… he can super sub… but who else does tri have?
Raul a legend like chicharito
Class is Forever. Form is Temporary. Raul’s instinct, timing, and decision making is slowly coming back
We need that Raúl at least for Copa America.
If this was in Spanish, you guys would’ve got more views
Bro really said Henry Martin
I dont think its too early to say. Even before he started scoring these goals he was back in form the few games before the goals came.
Correction, David Luiz hit/fouled Raul 2:37
Sorry Hercules but, it wasnt an acdident, David Luis is a bad player.
He's been back. He has the touch and the magic. Now he needs more goals. He can do it till he's 35-36
Hercules representing UANL
Why Can't Raul & Santiago play together?
If I was the coach I'll put Santiago as CF and Raul as ST and have them rotate. Have Chino Huerta and Tecatito or Atuna as Left and Right Wings
He never left!!! Wolves had to move on!!!
Hércules is a hater 😅
He’s not that good. He had one decent season. 10 years in Europe have been mediocre.
This team is not build for the attacker. Raul creates a lot of game play to their squad. This shows on the amount of goals they score
I think its just a matter of his teammates assisting him in his club and with the national team. Because its clear to me he is really close to being the old Raul.
Raúl is back!!!!! Still more to come!!!!
I wouldn’t say he’s back to his old form because we would have to see future performances but I will say that the confidence that those goals will bring to him, could potentially unlock that Raul we all know and love. Also, I don’t think he’s blocking anyone in the national team, of course we would love Santi to be our starting striker but having someone like Raul putting in that pressure will definitely make for some great internal competition.
Unfortunately yes that head injury was one of the worse in ⚽
We co need to play the players that are in current form. The national team is supposed to be based on current form. Your job as a coach is to get the best of the players and especially internationally get the best out of players in the best form at that time. If someone is to surpass him, it should be based on current form. It’s the sane way in clubs
Yes it was too soon indeed 😹
I don’t know why they don’t play 2 strikers with Santi and Raul 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 with Raul playing behind Santi
