I grew up watching R9 bulldozing elite clubs and national teams with ease and putting up insane numbers despite suffering potentially career-ending injuries, it’s actually sad to see the state of Brazilian strikers in recent years.
He was great at riding De Paul dong all game long though
Thank you Gabriel Jesus, we noticed. What I don’t notice is the strong point of anyone playing in this team. What a freaking mess. We had Guimarães as a playmaker, Rodrygo playing in Neymar’s role, Jesus doing God knows what, Veiga as a right winger crossing balls to Endrick, which is like the height of Romário.
No one is actually playing their real role and we are a discombobulated atrocity on the pitch. We managed one shot on target after going down 1-0. Ridiculous.
Least important part of being a striker to be honest.
When he came to us that pre season he was on fire and scored a lot. Am I remembering that correctly ?
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
His first season at city was great. He displaced Aguero after he returned from injury. I remember him being described as having ice in his veins in front of goal.
LMAOOOO
Pep saw that and put him on the right wing then shipped him out because he wasn’t happy playing there. nothing new.
lmao imagine your star striker saying this
I’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)
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.
Firmino had a stint where he was scoring a good number of goals for Liverpool
Isn’t false nine just another way of writing not good goal scorer?
No
Bobby was a good goal scorer though. He may have not been elite, but he was a reliable goal scorer.

Tammy AbrahamGabriel JesusAs if Arteta needed any more reason be on the phone to Ivan Toney in January
Why does he turn into R9 against us then ffs
