Did well with the ball in the first half the few times he got it. Corluka marked him well for the most part.

Wasn't helped by Coutinho and Willian never passing.

This. The compilation video of his play would just be him making good runs and the ball either being ballooned over or being passed to another player.

Got fouled several times, as well, but luckily nothing as bad as the other two-three potential career enders Croatia put in on other Brazilian players.

Fortunately it's a different proposition when Neymar's about. Even though he's even greedier, the fact he's so good with the ball leaves a lot of space for Jesus to exploit. It makes him tough to ignore.
 
That was a better goal than it looked by Jesus, it was a spinning ball and you had to connect with that perfectly which he did, to find that corner of the net, a super strike again, hes going to be something special again for us next season.
 
He seemed to have some dribbling ability at palmeiras going by his Youtube videos but he has really not shown anything close to it while hes been here for city or brazil. Seems a weird one, his game is linking up and being a box player rather than the dribbling type. I think to lead the line he needs to be able to score goals out of nothing like Aguero, hopefully he shows more of this as time goes on.

Agree but i think Pep has been teaching him hs version of the basics in order for him to improve, once that has been cemented in to his mentallity then he can show his flair at the same time
 
Probably should have put it on target instead of squaring it back to the middle on that corner. Also that looked like it should have been a pen more times than not. Not a lot of service. 6.5/10

Just wish he`d show the City fans a bit more of his dribbling ability as he did with that wonderful run tonight.

Me too pal. Playing scared isn’t the right way to put it but I just think maybe Pep has him on a bit of a leash. Hopefully he’s allowed to express himself a little more but keeping it simple hasn’t exactly been a bad thing for us.
