His penalties are hilarious 
Gabriel Jesus | Arsenal

He looks to be regressing.
Why is he ever on pen duties.
I’ve never seen him as anything more than above average at City. Benefits massively from his City surroundings.
You see that penalty miss? That one in Saudi Arabia? That dreadful kick that went off target?
You see that?
Well that was Liverpool’s fault...well Joe Gomez’s fault at the very least.

With penalty-taking like that he should be playing for United.
Half decent player in a team that creates chances for fun. Not bad by any means and if he is happy with a career as backup then he is a bit of a dream.
He's only 22? Feels like he's been around forever.
Those penalty misses look deliberate.
Why do all Argentina players have the same haircut?
According to Transfer Market, his penalty taking success rate is lower than 50%.
When he first arrived at Man City, Pep dropped Aguero for him and he had a goal or assist every game. Maybe he has been found out?

they don’t seem real.Our players at least hit the target with their misses.
He's just far too casual with them.
Trying to look cool and roll them into the side netting instead of just picking a corner and hitting it with good enough power that precision isn't so important.

Both pens were awful. You can't miss like twice and expect to take anymore.
Who are you referring to?
It's almost as if he's trying to copy Jorginho.
Perhaps. I think he just wants to look cool.
jorginho does a similar style with his little gallop but it actually works as he doesn’t give away which corner he’s going.
More importantly, he actually hits the target..
Hahahaha. But great from Henderson
Geez, his penalty record must be atrocious. Neymar tends to pass them into the net, I think that's who he's copying more than anybody but Neymar is actually very good at that.
He should stick to crosses..
Been over taken by Rashford comfortably.
Funny, isn't it? Jesus was hyped up when he was at Palmeiras (?), apparently the next big thing and all that, while I reckon no one even heard of Rashford before that Midgetland game.
Jesus is a good player in his own right but Rashford is clearly superior at the moment.
12 yards is a long way when you’re only used to tapping them in.
I think many here preferred Jesus when he burst on the scene but he's actually a very limited player. Rashford is by far the better footballer and is still improving and adding to his game.
Funny when you consider one has pep coaching him and the other has not had any settled coach or backroom staff..
You haven't seen much of him then, simple as that.
I've seen enough to know he's well behind Rashford and is far more limited than our Marcus which is the point.
Not talking about the comparison between him and Rashford (that's another story). Calling Jesus limited makes no sense. He's shown for country and club his qualities apart from scoring, which made your comment strange at best.
I think he's pretty limited for a modern forward
Danny Murphy quote from two seasons ago still gets me. The best young player since Messi.
A perfect example of media madness with no big picture opinion at all. Just like a pack of dogs around a burst packet of sausages

Has a marginally better scoring rate than Rashford this season albeit in a much stronger team. Also has the same amount of assists in 800 less minutes. Rashford is the better player imho but the gap is not nearly as big as many make out.
Jesus also has 4 CL goals in 5 apps, Rashford 1 EL goal in 4.
Jesus has a far superior record at interntional level per game but I don't have the minutes to compare fairly as Rashford likely was a sub in a lot more games.
For the record though Jesus 39 caps 19 goals, Rashford 38 caps 10 goals also Rashford has played much more as a winger and likely a lot less minutes so you'd expect Jesus to outshine him here.

Henderson about two yards off his line when the kick was taken
Surprised VAR didn't call it.
He needs to be off penalty duties. You can see he completely telegraphed it. Looked at at same spot twice. Henderson was off his line but I think it would have been saved anyway.
He was brilliant tonight. Justified the start over Aguero
Seen why he started over Aguero worked his ass off was always back when Real where attacking
