9 | Gabriel Jesus - 2021/22 Performances

[DATOIA]

Say what you want - but this guy does his job, deserves every penny he earns :D

Also, his finishing skills are shite as always <3

We love GJ anyway, for the work and attitude..

Fantastic team player and player in overall and suits Pep`s philosophy. What's more important than that ?

He was brilliant today. Nothing he could do about the lck of service first half but continued to offer himself with great runs and linkup then when he was pushed out to the left he showed sterling exactly what he should have been doing all game the first chance he got, took his marker on the outside and laid it on a plate.


In much the same way Bernardo makes everyone around him better, jesus makes our entire attack better when he's on the pitch

For me it should be

LW: Foden, Jesus
CF: Grealish, Foden, KdB, Palmer
RW: Mahrez, Sterling, Palmer

I hope pep realizes this soon, Sterling and Jesus are giving him a headache because they prefer other positions.

I will always forgive a player for a bad performance if they redeem themselves with a sublime play that results in a goal, and it IS christmas, so he's redeemed :)

He is a winger not a striker , he underwhelms me as a striker and i have said for years he needs to be left wing

That’s fair enough and can’t disagree. Just noted that you said you “still don’t get” him in the match day thread.

for me, he’s a squad player and I wouldn’t want him in the starting eleven for say a crunch game or final but I suppose it’s unrealistic to expect superb players as back up and he does provide something different and is more than useful in the swuad over the season. He is certainly one of the best at fulfilling a role and following instructions.

Really? I'd always want him playing a big game, the lad works his balls off and is the best presser in our front three

At present does he fit in with:
Bernardo
Gundogan
De bruyne
Foden
Mahrez
?

next season hopefully haaland

I'd play him over Mahrez in a derby or against Liverpool, for example. With no disrespect meant to Mahrez, who's having another very decent season

100% pass completion... an attacker playing 90mins and not misplacing a single pass is mental.

Wow that stat amazes me, my impression from watching the game was that he squandered possession a few times although maybe it was thru miscontrol rather than wayward passes. Did great for Raz’ goal but I’m not convinced by him and never will be now.

Assuming we get a new striker at some point I’d consider Jesus to be more expendable than Torres
