Selfish or selfless, there is no try
The thing with Jesus is if he had average finishing he’d be the best striker in the world.
He’s world class at literally everything else a false 9 does.
Anyone who thinks Arsenal is better off without him than with him obviously doesn’t watch us. It’s not a coincidence he has been hurt all year and we’ve struggled in the attack.
He’s a great player but it’s just such a hard position to fit him into. He’s been good at arsenal but they obviously need a 9 (personally think they should try trossard more) but it’s becoming obvious why City sold him. He’s too good not to play but he also is hard to fit into a system unless you have two very good inside forwards (I’m talking Salah and mane sort of levels)
Him in a two striker partnership would be really interesting like at Inter
Why does he turn into R9 against us then ffs
Cuz r/fuckyouinparticular
LMFAO, imagine the N9 for Brazil saying this, just fuck my shit up im fucked up
I mean if you played in a system that actually utilized him well with guys like vini and now Martinelli plus others you guys would be walking goals into the back of the net but your defense and midfield also need to step up
lmao imagine your star striker saying this
Kind of true though, was the same when he was at City too.
He’s a false nine and scoring goals isn’t the most important aspect of that role, much like Firmino at Liverpool.
That being said, he does need to turn up with a few more goals if he’s going to stand a chance in this Brazil side, especially since Richarlison is injured.
Bobby was a good goal scorer though. He may have not been elite, but he was a reliable goal scorer.
Isn’t false nine just another way of writing not good goal scorer?
No
Firmino had a stint where he was scoring a good number of goals for Liverpool
have a bit of self confidence my man
As if Arteta needed any more reason be on the phone to Ivan Toney in January
He would ghost for months at City too.
“I am so shit” -
Tammy AbrahamGabriel JesusI’ve said it since arsenal signed him, he’s not the player they need in the position he wants to player
Arsenal should go all out for toney in Jan, he’s a difference make for arsenal (hopefully they fail in Their pursuit)
Tbf it’s because he’s world class at pretty much everything else. Just his finishing lets him down.
With that said, he wasn’t bad yesterday, helped created some good chances. Yeah, I would love to have a goal machine, but since we don’t have one, I rather play Jesus than Richarlison.
We look so good when he’s our striker. He doesn’t need to score goals. He allows the team to build through the middle and maintain possession - which is huge for the style of play Arteta wants.
