Need this guy fit and firing on all cylinders asap.

He’ll add that touch of class in the attack, which currently feels too laboured and unsophisticated.

Get another live wire in too

KingslandBarge

Valuable minutes from G.Jesus yesterday and doesn't look physically encumbered at all. Hopefully free from mind about any goal drought concerns and ready to rip open Spurs like he did last time.
The chest control, step overs, chops and finish yesterday; it was Samba at the carpet.

He was sublime, back to his very best.

Segway

Yep. He's just a joy to watch.

Gazza M

he looked full of it again. loved the performance. there was a move where did a step over and created space for a shot out of nothing and almost put it in the top corner. that's the type of magic we don't get from eddie, and why a full fit jesus is a key player for us

goon

It's crazy how much flair has come into his game since he's joined us. Seemed like City/Pep drained him of any personality.

Clrnc

goon it's crazy how Pep let Jesus join us

Gazza M

goon he drilled him into being a cog in his machine, but he has some old school jogo bonito in him. he over eggs it at times, but can do some spectacular stuff that no-one else in the squad can pull off

Qwiss

goon Pep tends to do that to players. They may perform at a high level but they're almost never fun.

goon

Games like this you feel like the sky is the limit for him.

daredevil

goon

For me, he's our best player with Trossard a close second.

Still unsure what Odegaard has done for me not to feel the same way about him as he has similar characteristics.

MistaT

goon -- taken down, but here's a YouTube comp

Segway

That chest control and turn from Raya's long ball around 1:11 is just stupidly good.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

daredevil took me a while with Odegaard, but the guy is pretty much tier one now.

MistaT

Jesus has definitely bulked up. Not sure if they have him on the Saka diet, if he's just taken on a "Dad bod(y)", or if its leftover weight from his injury/recovery.

Regardless, he's looking confident in his body, and I think the extra muscle/weight will serve him well as a lone CF.

Lukazan

Hopefully he can stay injury free and build a run in the side now because as much as I have time for Eddie, he's got no place in the side when Jesus is playing like this. So pleasing on the eye and a touch of arrogance about him all the greats have.

RocktheCasbah

Lukazan sure. It's not an exact comparison as the skill gap isn't quite a vast, but playing Eddie up top instead of Jesus would be a bit like playing Franny Jeffers instead when you have Thierry Henry available to you.

Don Pacifico

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert didn't know he had a side-hustle fuelling the transfer rumour mill...

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Jesus' first touch is impeccable.

Don Pacifico

RocktheCasbah Jeffers!? You must really not rate Eddie. 😉

Qwiss

RocktheCasbah so harsh, you could have said Kanu or Wiltord

RocktheCasbah

Don Pacifico I did say it wasn't exact... 😁
