Gabriel Jesus: Will He Score Again?

[Riou]

Nice that they showed him love instead of going up to him saying “Haaland better”

Gabby... "City had a lot of impact the last 10, 15, 20 years"

15 years ago they got taken over by a guy with no money, and 20 years ago they were even worse than that somehow

I guess he could have mentioned how many stars City team has as the reason why it's different, him being the super star at Arsenal now. At least that is what I think he was trying to say, maybe he didn't want to say Arsenal is worse team though.

It's really amazing how much this kind of support & confidence can raise the level of a player.

At City he played RW also last season, but he was a point per 110 minutes in EPL, now he is a point per 87 minutes in EPL. And he could have a lot more points.

Our fans eating up City’s sloppy seconds.

I’m getting the word…

 

[drippin]

Imagine Arsenal still having 33 year old Auba, and missing 25 year old Jesus for 52 million euros because of it.

Plus having Nketiah and Balogun with long contracts!

Wow I'm happy!

Gabrielle is clear.

I wonder what kane would have looked like.

Why is a normal picture of van Dijk in there?

It's unfortunate he didn't bump into me, I'd have told him listen these fans are pieces of sh*t don't be fooled, just ignore them.

Amazing footwork to create Fabio's goal tonight. Some of he's dribbling and movement tonight reminded me of peak Henry.

 

[BenTal]

I am so happy to have him here. He is so good.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Guy is ridiculous all round footballer and I'm so surprised because at man city it was limited not sure maybe pep system.

 

[TheGreatWright8]

Thought I saw Henry today

He’d be like R9 if his finishing went up a level.

Such a talented player, world class in some aspects and I wouldn’t bet against him becoming a bit more clinical over time.

I think he is world class in most aspects, very complete for his size. Just needs that final clinical shot basically to become truly world class, but he is only 25.

Peak R9 is a bit too much though, but I get your point.

I never said peak R9. I don’t think we’re seeing anything like him again.

Peak R9 was something else, bullying defenders like ragdolls, elite finishing and that samba skill, phenomenal player.

 

[Bagels]

Absolute baller

 

[MutableEarth]

Such an awesome player. I almost feel bad griping about him needing to score more - feels nitpicky even, such is the level of performance. Been a little while since we've had a CF this good in terms of all-round game.

 

[drippin]

The funny thing is that he does this dribbling past two players stuff in almost every game.

He just did it earlier, and the keeper saved it. It's a bit silly to complain about the player if he doest't score from a situation he made himself out of thin air.

In theory you should be making something of those situations, otherwise what’s the point?

Realistically he’ll have a longer leash than most players, especially when he creates the chance for himself, but you should still expect your players to take good chances.

Of course but if you do it at least once per game, you will succeed at some point. It's in addition to what Jesus does otherwise.

Clinical players are hard to find, but it can be learned when hitting the prime. Usually it's somewhat seen already when younger, but some are later bloomers.

Wasn't Jesus clinical and a huge talent earlier when young?

How many goals did he score against some Norwegian plumbers?
