end of story

He changed the game, he's a genius presser, the way he cut out the passing lane to Wijnaldum whilst slowly closing Allison down put the keeper in panic mode. Our whole front line started pressing when he came on as they match his energy, we were standing off their backline before and trying to win it in midfield(Rodri at his best). It's mental how under-appreciated he is by our fan base.

Yeah, you're right. He is far too underrated.

Should have started.

 

[Henri Regnault]

His pressing messed up Allison really badly, the first give away came directly because of Jesus' frontal press.

He's more comfortable than Foden with his back to goal, the difference was quite vast imo.

Not anything about Foden, he barely plays false 9 so I don't fault him, and I think false 9 is a great position for him to learn that can translate to a future midfield position, but Jesus' pressing, strength and awareness is world class.

It’s exactly what he did against Real Madrid last year, forcing Varane into more fatal mistakes that game than he usually makes in a season

Pressing effectively is a skill, and Gabby is one of the very best

He is class and really should get more appreciation from some on here.

I couldn't add an extra word :)

Like the cool kids would say, it's about time we put some Respek on this man's name :)
