I don’t really rate Jesus in all honesty… neither do I rate Zinchenko I think he’s a bit shit in my opinion. We will see how Jesus does, but I’d be surprised if he returned the kind of figures he did at Man City. I think it had to more to do with signing Haaland and Alvarez, Jesus probably expected to be the main striking option after what happened to Aguero, playing with out a natural striker last season probably effected his confidence. Arsenal appears to be a good fit and if he gets off to a good start there is no reason he can’t get 20 goals plus a season as the main striker in that side.

That is much better than I thought but he was playing in a team that is several levels better than Arsenal so it will be interesting to see if he can get near that kind of strike rate going forwards.

How is this meant as a dig? I was just messing about because, like Ayew, Jesus often plays wide right, as well as up front, and is an industrious, hard working type of player. Of course he is much better than Ayew but I'm not totally sure he'll get 20+ goals per season playing for Arsenal but could be wrong of course.

He hardly ever scores when coming off the bench, but when he starts, his numbers are frightening. I can't find them right now, but there was a graphic on Sky Sports News the other day that showed the difference. It was very impressive.

I've seen that being subbed on statistic, but didn't find it particularly relevant when discussing his goals per minute ratio. I suppose you could argue he'd be starting more games for Arsenal, so may score more (alluding to the statistic you mention) and would cancel out those dead minutes he had at Man City when coming on.

It’ll be a big fight for 7th though Let's see how it pans out. Some of you are forgetting that this season will be a strange one with the World Cup in the middle of nowhere. Can't wait for Tuchel, Klopp, Pep, Arteta and Konte complaints. Ten Hag it's on another league on his own. He'll be puzzled why his Dutch football is not working in the EPL.
Pliskin Posted 23 July 2022 Posted 23 July 2022 Jesus isn’t going to have the likes of KDH playing killer passes to him. Kelechi (I know nowhere near the level) just proved with his city goal return how much it can help. He’s decent but he won’t turn them into a power house. I reckon he will look pretty average in that side. Im happy to bet Vardy will score more than Jesus this season. 1

Sadly we just can’t realistically compete with that. That said, surely Arteta has to make top 4 this season to keep his job? Despite this i would still say we have the better first XI and it's only marginal because of the gap at RW. Talent wise they're similar over the pitch but our players are far more developed and experienced.

Even in a really poor year for us with vardy injured half the season and a good year for them we scored more goals than them. It was our defence that let us down and with fofana evans justin pereira back fit that should be sorted. In terms of midfield i think maddison, ndidi and tielemans are all better than odegaard, partey and xhaka/zinchenko in their respective positions. 1

"I am far from relaxed," Tuchel said. "We were simply not good enough. We were simply not competitive." "I cannot guarantee we will be ready in two weeks." "I look at the last season and parts of the game where we struggled, parts of the season where we struggled, and then we got sanctioned and players left us and some players are trying to leave us, and this is where it is," Tuchel said. To come over all Keeganesque....... I tell you I will love it, I will love it, if Chelsea have a fiasco of a season.... (Nothing against Tuchel, whom I quite like, just the club...) 5
