#9 | Gabriel Jesus - 2020/21 Performances

[cartmel blues]

He did well today.

Holy shit

 

[domalino]

He doesn’t impact games anymore. Sad to see

I thought he impacted this game...you know when he singlehandedly created the first goal and then won the penalty that should have put it to bed?

Imagine the impact a really good player would have had.

He runs about a lot and is a plucky character and honest as the day is long , but that isnt good enough for a european elite team , why Pep plays him in big games is a mystery he doesnt have any influence when he is up against decent centre backs. He is a squad player , Carabao Cup / FA Cup / Champs league qualifiers and playing bottom six sides is his level , he will still play 25-30 games a season and notch a goal every other game , which isnt too shabby.
He will never replace Aguero or be as good as a Halland , Levandowski , Mbappe and these are the standard of striker we need when Aguero leaves , would never sell the lad he is valuable as a squad player ,but if Pep makes the mistake of playing him in must win games , then that is Pep's fault not Jesus.

Yeah compared to the other forward players I thought he was pretty decent. A long way down my list of players to criticize after that game

 

[FantasyIreland]

We really could do with a forward who holds the ball up and allows the midfield time to support.

Thought he was one of the highlights in a dysfunctional team.

Compared to the player who came on to get that goal in the final game of the centurions season he’s about 60% as effective.

It's amazing how people persist with their preconceived opinions even though Jesus was good yesterday. Are people actually watching games or are completely unable to see what's happening on the pitch blinded by their opinions?

Had Aguero scored the pen, Jesus would have contributed to two goals against the team in the best defensive form in Europe, while playing without a proper midfield behind him at that. He did his job. It's Pep, Aguero and the referees who didn't do theirs.

Had we won,people would not be talking about him or looking for reason to criticise.Thats a certainty.
