Good player but constantly cries around.

Played well, caused Varane so much trouble but no end product
Contrast to Rashford.

Should’ve tried to sign him. Probably never stood a chance though due to him playing for City.
Lot of his hold up play was to try to muscle our CBS, come off second best and then get a free for being every bit as physical but losing out.
Definitely, think he would have fit Ten Hag's style perfectly.
He physically handled both Varane and Martinez. Rio said on his podcast that when Jesus first signed for city he spoke to Stones to see what Jesus was like after 6 months. Stones told him that Jesus was very good technically but the thing that stood out in training was how strong he is for his size. He seems to be one of those strong low centre of gravity types.
So he's a Sanchez regen?
Spent 6 years faffing about at City when he could have been the main man elsewhere.
Money.
Bernado Silva is the same, seems to be close to leaving City but ends up staying. Perhaps because nobody can match his "salary"
Become hilariously overrated since his move.
I wish people would stop saying we should've signed him. What planet do you all live on seriously?
Had no idea he was close to joining Real Madrid.
If he got a single shot on target, that would help.
Yeah i think he has to look at himself really. He was a handful but only outside of the box. Lots of good play from Arsenal but never anything to show for it at the end of the move. He'll look great but wont score too many
"better than them"
fecking got a a laugh out of that, for all the possession they had they did feck all and rarely threatened us outside of the 1 goal and a couple of fluffed shots.
possession means feck all when you do nothing with it and they did nothing.
Less the world class talent (of Salah and Mane')
The Utd game showed me a lot of reasons why Pep chose to play Jesus on the wings. Pep opted for false 9’s like Foden and Bernardo to play in the centre over Jesus.
Jesus has great strength and work rate, but he’s just not keen on having a shot when he should. He either wants to dribble once more or try to walk it in by dummying one too many times.
Yeah i had more or less the same thought
Had a good laugh at that remark also. Let's not forget United bossed the possession stakes in the 4-0 defeat to Brentford.
This.
Had he signed for Madrid, he would have played a lot. Benzema isn't immortal and behind Vinicius, the wings spots are pretty open.
We can see now why Pep played him on the right and left and never trusted him as a CF
He plays similar to how Firminho does..
Arsenal need their Salah /Mane to get the goals and I don't think Saka, Martinelli can match those numbers

Maybe were being harsh and after years playing on the wing he'll need time to adjust to being the CF
He would sit on the bench - a lot. Then you would be able to buy him for 30m quid in 2 yrs time.
That's fine too
Now if they could bench Camavinga for 2 years...That's fine too
Nope he's not leaving Madrid. Camavinga, Tchoumeini and Bellingham will probably be Madrid's new midfield
Rashford barely brushed shoulders with their defenders or contested much but walked away from the game with 2 goals and 1 assist
Retrospective action?
I thought he analysis on MOTD2 was really insightful. Jesus spent a lot of time outside the box, linking up well with the other arsenal attackers, laying off passes etc. But he needs to be in the box, finishing off those chances. I think Arsenal need him to do that more rather than turning up on the left wing and whipping in a ball.
He always looks on the verge of bursting into tears.
what an odd take, Silva is literally one of the first names on the team sheet and played the most minutes of any outfield player for City last season, reason he doesn't go is PSG and Barca tried to get him for £60m which is an insult
It's a system thing I think. He had to play false 9 at times because of how the two teams set out their structures pressing / build up structures.
And yet he's been on the verge of leaving for 2 seasons.
Would you rather be the main man at Arsenal or part of a team at Man City?
He played a ton for Man City over the years.
He is good player. Strong, holds up the ball and is a good finisher. Just wish he could get rid of that permanent pained expression. Would take him any day at Utd.
as has been reported, his missus doesn't like MCR, he's contracted, someone offers the clubs valuation and he can go, why should a club sell someone for 20-30m below their valuation
That was deliberate. We were man to man in CM so Xhaka and Lakonga pushed wide leaving a huge gap for Jesus to drop into. It’s why they dominated the opening 15 minutes of the second half.
He is a top player.
But he slowly becoming the most overrated player about. From when he was signed he been elevated to higher levels before he even started playing, to be fair to him he has started well and is a top signing for arsenal, but listen to Neville during the match you'd think it was the real Ronaldo banging a hat trick against us for real Madrid.
Absolutely baffling to be honest
Surprised he is only 25 as well, I thought he was older.
