Gabriel Jesus: Will He Score Again?

[14Henry]

Remember when people said they didn't want Jesus because he wouldn't win headers or score goals with his head? One of the best signings we have made in the last 10-15 years.

Jesus has always been great at heading goals. The surprise for me has been his almost perfect timing and high jumping ability for long balls which makes him able to win balls even against tall defenders.

I know something like 17% of his goals from City were headers. But many here thought he was **** at them and baulked at his 1.75m frame as a reason he wouldn't score headers.

Brilliant header.

Just worried he has 4 yellows already. 1 more before gw19 and he'll miss a game I guess. Hopefully not a big game.

 

[Pop Tart]

His commitment to win the ball back amd all round hunger is something we have lacked upfront. Class player .

Only at Arsenal!

Fantastic goal, today. Yellow cards are a problem though: he'll definitely get to 5 and be out for a game.

Should have had a second goal, but otherwise a superb performance from Gabby Jesus today.

I think it's just going to be something we have to live with. It's part of his game. He needs to learn and try to control it. 0 need in the last 2 or 3 mins when 3-0 up.

He very good player look how hard he working even when we 3 up should've scored more today.

But i read he 1 yellow card from 1 match ban. Ease up the aggression Jesus you play for Arsenal you got yellow card for breathing.

Did very well today, I suppose it's becoming boring saying it now. Not only was the goal impressive (perfect ball and header) but I love how combative he is and he's able to hold off defenders despite not being 6ft+.

Just a small comment as I'm wondering if I'm the only one that noticed; I thought he had a loose touch or two in a dangerous position, it's nothing major and the passes did come at him with tremendous pace but something I picked up on.

But yeah still fantastic player and he's made a big difference to our front line; the pressing but also the ability to get into dangerous positions, an all round nightmare to play against for the opposition.

He's way better than I thought in all the ways I already knew he was good and some of the ways I thought he was weak.

He's pretty much the complete centre foward tbh

"From the start we showed what we want to do in the game, create chances and score. That is what I believe we did.

"He [Xhaka] found me for the goal and I am so happy to play with him, he is an intelligent and quality player."

"The celebration was for my guy Vinicius Jnr, it needs to stop and it was for him."

I noticed this too but there's 2 ways to see it. Either he's loose technically or he's so tight technically that they can reliably fizz balls in to him to avoid the chance of an interception.

I'd imagine its more the latter than the former tbh.

Yes I agree with that.

 

[NieThePiet]

Difficult to say what are his weaknesses.

He looks even effective in front of goal, no striker will score all chances.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Outstanding again. Was a fantastic ball from Xhaka, but that header was still top class.

 

[Makingtrax]

This guy’s almost unplayable. In the box he’s so quick. Made a massive difference to our attack. A great buy.

 

[say yes]

Just wish Bobby the no.1 gooner was here to see this.
