Gabriel Jesus - 2017/18 performances

[oakiecokie]

I`m not his greatest fan but hell the lad got virtually no service from his midfielders and don`t get me started on the other fucking prima donna,Neymar.

 

[Hungarian blue]

Thought it was another solid performance from him.

Social media saying he should be dropped.

Didnt see the full game as i was in work, watched the last 20 mins of the first half where i witnessed him do one trick move to go past his marker out wide....needs to do more if the same and just go and play with no fear, no restrictions. Go back to the kid on the street

Unfortunately it probably wont happen. Brazil are no longer the team i remember as kid with the skill and trickery they had in abundance to go past players. Seems the decision to change tact and play a more european based type of football has eradicated that once famous yellow shirt from what it was best at

Neymar is one greedy fooker. I only saw the second half but there were a couple of opportunities to pass for a tap in and he wouldn't pass.

He won’t be getting dropped. He’s putting in his and Neymar’s workload per game. His enormous effort allows neymar to fuck around doing what he wants with zero responsibility. Needs a goal badly but it’s unkikely to happen with neymar and Willian playing greedy ****s.

 

[Chrisdunk]

Neymar is genuinely one of the best playmakers in football why are people blaming him for Jesus poor performances? Obviously he plays a very individualistic style, but he's a fantastic passer of the ball.

Exactly this. Jesus' work rate for the team is first class. That's why Pep likes him.

He is a fantastic passer of the ball, pity he doesn't use that quality to provide for his team mates.

And Jesus wasn't poor.

 

[waspish]

Jesus will keep getting picked because he does all the donkey work Neymar and Coutinho can’t be arsed doing plus Jesus in good positions always looks for other player so they have a better chance of scoring Neymar Coutinho don’t!

Yep but does fuck all without the ball and a diving cheating selfish fcker to boot

 

[domalino]

IMO he's dropping way too deep, if he takes part in a move early on for Brazil, he never gets back into the box in time to finish or be an option.

He isn't getting great service, Neymar is being a selfish bellend and Willian can't seem to put a cross in to save his life, but he's also contributing to it himself by not being there on the end of the counter-attacks Brazil are scoring most of their goals from.

Firmino got the goal yesterday because he started higher up, and could get on the end of Neymar's embarrassing shot attempt, I don't think Gabi would have gotten there.

I agree with the idea he's doing a lot for the team, but at a certain point, you have to look after yourself too, all top forwards would do that.

 

[shemnel]

i agree fully that he's putting in a shift and making up for Neymar's lack of graft but Jesus' end product this WC has been disappointing

Firmino is well ahead Jesus in all "works hard" related stats. Total distance, max runs, tackling, interception, etc.

Not as mobile as Jesus, doesn't stretch opposition defences as much, prefers to play with his back to goal rather than off the shoulder of the last man, he doesn't suit Tite's style, he's a wonderful plan B though.

 

[squirtyflower]

So what we are saying is that once Pep goes we are fucked?

See you’re back after a lengthy lay off from wumming.
We should have bought Lukaku
