Gabriel Jesus - 2017/18 performances

[markbmcfc]

Always seems to be in the right place in the box. A gift that can't be coached.

That said, i'd love for him to score a 'proper' goal, one where he beats a man or two or one from distance. He's scored some great goals for Brazil and Palmeiras so he's more than capable, but i'd love him to really open up and show us what he's got. He doesn't carry the ball much it's all about quick link up with him. Not a bad thing, but I think he's capable of more if he was a bit more selfish and confident in himself.

There isn't as much of a partnership with Sergio as the stats suggest but i'm not complaining.

It

It's a consequence of having a striker partner that happens sometimes. Sometimes one striker get's more involved and get's more chances due to circumstance, or sometimes one of the strikers is having a bad game and the other picks it up. I think the reason Pep likes playing both is because last season sometimes Aguero, who still scored a ton of goals, would miss good chances and City relied on him too much in a 1 striker system. Now he has a partner to take the burden, same goes for Jesus obviously.

If they continue in the same vein then I'm all for it!

Lol. Why would I call him shit? When bluemoon doesnt quote, its lying...

Having watched this kid since the womb, where his kicking was questionable even then, one can assert that he just isn't good enough for where we want to be, in fact, I think he's shit personally

lol

That would have been an unbelievable goal if he'd have put that header away. He's something else.

Agreed mate. The way he finds space in the box is incredible for a 20 year old. Has a great head on him.

 

[Easy]

Can't believe how good he is in the air. We've lacked a striker like that since Dzeko. Great to have a different option

Was not expecting it either but his heading ability is phenomenal.

 

[Jazzcat]

Necessary decision if we want to keep hold of him, especially when you consider the insane amounts that are being thrown around for his fellow countrymen.

What's not to like. Settled in very quickly

 

[oldius]

It's very pleasing that we are whipping balls in from either flank, before the defenders have regrouped. That gives any striker in the world an opportunity, never mind strikers of our quality.

 

[Tevez City]

What I most like about him is the fighting spirit.

He fights for every ball and enjoy the physical battle.
