Gabriel Jesus 2018-19 performances

[Tricky_Trev]

He looked sharp again when he came on yesterday.

One small thing which I'm probably reading too much into. His reaction to our 4th and 5th goals yesterday in that he didn't celebrate in the slightest, Most of our goals is celebrated by the whole team congregating together. He's probably frustrated with lack of game time or just a shrug of a shoulders in that we have scored another goal.
Just hope him and Mahrez haven't got a frosty relationship after the penalty debacle against Liverpool

Yeah, noticed that too and thought it was a bit odd. His performance was very good when he come on, but he didn’t seem to be enjoying it. Weird one.

He needs a goal or two. Kun scored with his more difficult chance on Saturday and fluffed two or three better chances. Would like to see Gabby get a start.

 

[Matt the Giant]

As far as I can tell, Pep has Gabriel play a little deeper than Kun, or maybe (which would be unlikely) this is something he naturally do without being instructed to. I get the feeling he has more defensive duties on his shoulders than Kun, which I would understand, and this would also automatically mean he will not gt into the same amount of scoring positions as Kun does.
I hope he is given time, and that he himself has the patience to stick around cause in a no too distant future, I think he will be our front of the line- striker, and I think he will be absolutely brilliant in that role.

The games not over yet but Jesus has been very poor, can’t seem to get a shot on target and has had little to no link up play! He’s not been the same player since the WC I hope he can find some decent form again soon

 

[lancs blue]

Just before he was subbed he got behind their back four but turned right around and passed the ball back, the lad has no confidence at all - he could easily have taken on a shot or a cross instead.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Can’t agree with some of the negativity here. Thought his link up play and tenacity tonight were both excellent. Only downside was his finishing, rushed and lacking confidence. Wasn’t alone though. Between them Jesus, Mahrez and Sterling should have scored 4 goals and could have scored 10. Badly, badly needs to score with a composed finish

 

[mccity]

He looks a lot stronger and he has developed a real knack for everything tackles. His movement off the ball continues to excel. Sloppy finishing though. Needs to sharpen up in that sense.

Plays like a 21 year old would. Occasionally brilliant, occasionally naive. Occasionally ingenious, occasionally nervous. Then again he is 21.

I think when he gets one, he'll get a bunch.

I don't know what game you were watching but his link up play was fantastic all night.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I thought he was quite effective in keeping their back line more than occupied. His finishing was just a little unlucky. He's suffering the same thing Riyad did - the harder he tries the worse it looks. He's gonna do nothing but improve long term with Pep and co!
