#9 | Gabriel Jesus - 2019/20 Performances

[Dr Jacoby]

Remarkably, he lacks killer instinct for a Brazilian centre forward.

I can’t believe he turned away from goal when Bellerin made a dreadful pass in the first half.

 

[argyle]

Besides the odd goal, most of his goal's are tap in's from another players good work.

He's not a goal threat and teams find it easy playing against us as a result.

 

[baggy]

Romario he is not.

 

[01cravend]

I hope all the Billy big bollocks' who give it out when he scores can accept it when he plays like fucking shite.

Let's see.

When you are surrounded by opponents and the only thing your teammates are doing is playing it wide and spamming crosses at your 5'9 self, what are you meant to do?

 

[Blue Hefner]

finally a voice of reason, what service has he got today? nothing. the set up men have been slow, selfish, and woeful. to suggest no goals today is his fault is total wank. funny, he scores a couple goals and it gets quiet here, the haters have nothing to say, then a bad game from others and it's Gabe's fault.

Countless balls into the box, countless balls into feet which he did nothing of note with - he’s always a day late and a dollar short

Just not up to it. If we could get 50-60mil I’d sell

100% this, feeding on scraps.

 

[mikemcfc]

He never looked like scoring. And given the entire second half was played in thier box, that is a problem

Just not up to it and goals against Brighton and Bournemouth aren’t going to change that.

He should have come off, took our chance with Sterling upfront and kept Marhez on

starting sterling and mahrez together is the line up that cost us the most points this year. as of ten days ago 17 dropped points in 14 games, and a loss today, FA Cup loss, with sergio and gabby only getting 7 goals between them in those 15 games. raz and rez only try a pass when they can't take it on their own, then it's too late and their pass doesn't get through cus by that time our strikers are surrounded, over and over.
it looks good on paper, i agree, but hasn't worked. Maybe Arteta knew this...

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Had no one creating chances for him today, just lots of crosses in the box, which he had no chance of winning

If Arteta ‘knew’ I’m pretty sure Pep and City’s entire data team would have been aware of these stats

I don’t think Jesus is any good up front and I don’t like Sterling in the left either

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Romario he is not.

Closer to Jo unfortunately

countless? nice exaggeration Goebbels, arse had time to close down space cus we were too slow by the time he finally received a pass and was surrounded.

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

He did not appear for today's game. On the other hand, as some people mentioned here, he had no chance against 8 Arsenal players inside the box as we continue to cross the ball non-stop and he gets their CB to the chin

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

he is a back up player , no more , no less , we have been spoilt with Aguero a true world class striker , only one striker near him and that is Kane , we need to break the bank for him or we are going to slip behind some of our rivals we need to nip this slide in the bud , its cheque book time.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that any striker who plays at Champs League level would have at least had a shot on goal if their team enjoyed 70+possession

He’s not a threat. To anyone

if pep realized why does he persist an ineffective line-up? easy to spot straight away, but not everyone wants to believe raz and rez are selfish, i checked the stats and proved it.

while it was a difficult game for him i agree, whe a striker receiveds a back pass on the edge of the area and he turns the wrong way and looks to lay it off (which he did) that is the problem right there - no killer instinct at all. Aguero in that moment at least turns and has a shot. He rarely looks like he is going to make a difference and opposition teams and defenders dont fear him at all -

there are no doubting his qualities but as a goal scorer he lacks some of the amin ones- confidence, great shot in both feet, needs to be a bit greedy sometimes.

that just proves my point about the ineffectual combination of Raz and Rez, among other shit supporting roles today

 

[Cityinmyheart]

He has work rate of Tevez, only if he had his skills and goal threat. He has been with us for 3.5 years and doesnt strike me as someone worldclass.

 

[lancs blue]

I'm worried that he just doesn't seem to impose himself on the game enough, maybe the problem is I'm comparing him to one of the greats in Sergio but Gab needs to find some aggression from somewhere, actually lead the attack by example.

 

[aguerooooo]

Whether his performance was good bad or indifferent i cannot see him scoring enough goals to win us trophies IMHO without Aguero we simply cannot rely on him to consistently score goals
