#9 | Gabriel Jesus - 2019/20 Performances

[Rolee]

Good point. Does anyone know how many home games he's started in that 260 days?

As far as I can make out it's 4 home games started(all comps) since his last goal at home(against Schalke).

15 of his 21 goals last season came at home.

Can players only score when they start games? mins are a better way to look at it no?

Are they more likely to score if they play say 70-90 minutes or if they only come on with say 20 mins to go?

Sorry, I'm sure he's lovely, but he's absolutely fucking infuriating.

Just fucking score simple chances.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Fuck me. Some people, eh?

Excellent first half, a big reason why we scored 3.

We have scored 13 goals in the last 4 away games with Jesus up front. He is doing well.

I get what you're trying to say, but the biggest criticism of him from my non-City supporting friends is that he only scores simple chances.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I understand why people are often frustrated with Gabby at times, but I think they often miss the point. There is so much more to his game than just finishing.

He could run his arse off for 90 minutes, only touch the ball a handful of times and still have a brilliant game. If you watch his movement without the ball he draws players in and creates space for others in the team to exploit.

He is definitely an asset to the team.

Well he seems to miss a one-on-one nearly every game at the moment, just pisses me. I'd say most of his goals aren't simple chances at all. At the moment he just delivers a dollop of jam on random occassions out of nowhere but we never get the bread and butter, give me the basics of scoring the one-on-ones and then I won't get annoyed when he scores a stunner at Burnley.

Calvert-Lewin can run around for 90minutes but hardly scores, that’s why he’s at Everton and not City

Jesus flatters to deceive - a really good run and cross for the first goal but when it’s money time he missed 2. 1 should have been a goals and one should have at least been on target

Maybe I’m being harsh but he not only needs to score, he need to look like scoring.

You're right.

You are being harsh.
