Jesus is really good
Last season writing these post-game talking points became a little difficult, not necessarily because there was a lack of incident discuss, but more because the topics of conversation were so similar each week. Coming up with a new way to say Alexandre Lacazette is not the man to lead the Arsenal line every seven days morphed into an onerous task. This year the same problem has emerged but for a different reason all together. Now, the trouble is discovering new ways to convey how much Gabriel Jesus is.
Mikel Arteta did a pretty good job of describing it in his post-match press conference when focusing on his gratitude for the next that he will never have to come up against the Brazilian on the pitch. "I wouldn’t like to play against him," the Spaniard said. "I’ve never been a defender, but I can imagine I wouldn’t enjoy it. He’s so mobile, so intuitive, always sharp and proactive to play in any moment and phase in the game, and it’s a real threat."
