Gabriel Jesus 2018-19 performances

[bondsman]

Right now looks like a Brazilian Dickov. Works hard but that’s it really.

Workrate, linkup, movement, pressing, positioning, and unselfishness. That's kind of the definition of a Pep striker. But Kun does that now too.

Goals, Goals,and more goals that's the currency of strikers .Gabby just doesn't score enough of them.

Goals, Goals,and more goals that's the currency of strikers .Gabby just doesn't score enough of them.

I think there's a a balance to that in the modern game but no he's not scoring enough of them.

Confidence looks shot

He looks half the player he did when he first joined

Right now looks like a Brazilian Dickov. Works hard but that’s it really.

I used that phrase about 9 months ago, it wasn’t well received - work rate and movement is good but he just doesn’t look a threat

When Aguero gets the ball he looks as though he wants to turn, face the goal and try to create a goal. Scoring seems the furthest thing from Jesus’s mind. All he seems to want to do is concentrate on controlling it, laying it off and occasionally get on the end of an over hit cross

He’s just not a threat

 

[Tevez City]

Not good enough so far.

 

[oakiecokie]

My lad and others who know me will tell you that IMO we have a very over-rated player who is no-where near the standard of Sergio.
I accept that the lad has scored a fair few goals,which have pulled us out of the shit,but lets be honest, the gap between him and Sergio is immense.

 

[domalino]

He looks a yard or two short of pace to me. He had a few opportunities to run away from defenders and couldn't manage it - and their CB's weren't that fast.

Also he never seems to be able to get across someone in the box and just get a foot on it, the defender just gets there first.

His flicks and one touch layoffs aren't coming off either.

I don't know what's wrong, if it's something to worry about or how to fix it, but he's miles away from his best.

He is using a lot energy closing down defenders but he isnt making the same runs off the ball like when he first came to the club , he is only a kid and will have ups and downs and its obvious Pep loves him because he hasnt had a decent game for a few months and is still getting plenty of game time. Sterling , Kun and Sane should be the regular starters up front at the moment , like a few Brazilian players i think the Premier league can be a bit of a slog for them , after his exertions in the World Cup and taken his age into consideration i would send him somewhere sunny for a couple of weeks to recharge his batteries , because in his current run of form we wouldnt miss him.

He's played much better in a two than as a sole striker and seems to have a decent understanding with Kun whenever they've played together. As a sole striker he looks a bit lost.
