Gabriel Jesus - 2016/17 Performances - Palmeiras win the league title

[ono]

First 2 minutes in the Australia/Lithuania tie and I was already questioning them, came across like the 2 commentators were watching separately and pronouncing names strangely

Yeah they kept getting names mixed up as well. Rudy Gobert was Jeoffrey Gobert for large portions of the France vs USA game. I'd like more insight as well. There was no mention of the possible reasons behind Team USA struggling. No mention of spacing issues because of the smaller court, no mention of the more physical screen setting. Everything was put down to poor individual performances which is fairly lazy really. You expect the commentator to actually care and pay attention to what he is commenting on.

Haha yeah.

Olympic Games Football obviously.

Be even more of a pisstake if they listed it as World Cup Football.

Proper Transworld sport shit that. Blind Roller Hockey from the Outer Hebrades

Gabriel Jesus: "My 2 goals are thanks to the team. Brazil was not dependent on me nor on any player, Brazil is playing like a real team."

Love that. All the quotes I've seen from him he seems a real humble lad. That and his drive to be great should make for a perfect pairing with Pep. We could watch a real worldy blossom under our manager. Exciting times!

I watched his clip once and I can't stop myself watching another one and another one until there is no more clip in youtube. This lad is one of the most exciting player I have seen.

I managed to get a download of the game (fuck you BBC) & again, I'm not sure I've seen anyone who plays like this lad, in the position he is in now. A lot of the time, he is taking up defensive positions or pressing wide, then suddenly he's in behind the defence, or even in the cf spot.

He's like the perfect Pep player. If you compare his movement to Martial for instance, in a similar role, he makes Martial look like an old oil tanker.

Versatile, but young. He needs time

If you consider his age & the fact he hasn't even been near anyone like Pep so far, perhaps he won't need that much time.

We'll have to see how he adapts to the conditions when he gets here.

He will get time. He won't be thrust into the middle of the action and expected to single handedly win us games like Tony Marshal over the road. We will develop him so when the time is right he'll slot into the well oiled machine that Pep is building.
