Gabriel Jesus was once again underwhelming as Arsenal lost to West Ham in the Premier League last night.
The Brazilian striker, considered a key player by the Gunners and their main goalscorer, has faced criticism for not scoring as frequently as strikers from other clubs. This has led many fans and pundits to advocate for Arsenal to sign a new striker.
While the Gunners have been linked with moves for players like Ivan Toney and Dusan Vlahovic, it appears unlikely that any new signings will happen in January. Consequently, Jesus is expected to remain the main man until the end of the season.
However, not all Arsenal supporters agree with this decision. Following their loss to West Ham, some fans expressed their dissatisfaction online, calling for the Brazilian striker to be replaced. The report from Football Insider suggests that a number of Arsenal supporters voiced their frustration and emphasised the need for a new striker, especially after Jesus missed at least one good chance to score against West Ham.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Jesus has been poor since he moved to the club, and we all knew he has never been a prolific striker.
If we had a striker who guaranteed 20 league goals per season, we could end the term as champions.

Never ever ever a no9. Never was never will be.
he can 9 in European games just fine
it’s just the PL is too fast, he doesn’t get the time and space he wants
in the league against serious defences he needs to play wide or be benched
He isn’t a striker. End of.
“If we had a striker who guaranteed 20 league per season, we could end the term as champions”. Really? That straightforward?
There are teams out there with 20+ goals per season strikers who don’t even get into the European places.
Much as I agree we need a better striker than what we have now, I think our problem goes beyond that. Our front players haven’t just been able to hit their goal scoring levels of last season. Reason I do not know.
It’s this same group of players that put us second in the goals-scored chart with our captain, a midfielder, scoring 15 to emerge the highest scorer.
They need to rediscover their goal scoring touch by upping their commitment levels. It doesn’t appear to me like they are giving their best right now
100% agree
no guarantee an expensive striker will score 20+ goals, e.g. Nunez £89m, Holberg £72m
no guarantee even if they did Arsenal win the title
school yard stuff
Gabriel Jesus has DETERIORATED this season, but so has Martinelli and Bukayo Saka.😏
Would suggest We go for Dominic Solanke as our Top Nine and play Nelson more as left winger.😊
Jesus and Martinelli deserves to be Benched for long
As Guardolia did with Foden last season. 😒😒
It’s not really a Jesus problem. The main problem is backup striker Nketiah is too much like Jesus – not an aerial threat, not being able to hit the back of the net consistently when it matters.
That’s how I’m thinking of this as well.
It’s not realistic that we could sign someone who’s better than jesus in all key areas (those players are not available or will cost the earth), but we could get someone with different strengths who could change the way we play when needed, and ideally would be more consistent in front of goal.
We missed many chances to over come opposition and also we lack aggressive ness from final third so this transfer we need a strong striker.
“he’s been poor since he joined us” Really? REALLY? W-T-F.
While I am not in anyway in support of Gabriel Jesus regularly profligatimg in front of the opposition’s team goal-mouth to not score for Arsenal in the Epl. But when he SHOULD Have scored and nail a win for Arsrnbak. This his failing MUST be due to his lack of goals scoring efficiency and incompetent in front of goal.
But is Gabriel Jesus the only Arsenal forward who was found wanting for not scoring in the Arsenal last Epl home match against West Ham?
What of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli who started the match. But didn’t score in the match? As well Eddie Nkethia and Reiss Nelson too who all came off the bench for the match but didn’t score.
So too are the other Gunners who played the match but none of them scored in the match.
So, the whole thing was a team failure in the last Gunners Epl home macho against West Ham.
But notwithstanding, I think Arteta SHOULD by now have realised that the constant fewer goals returns which Gabriel Jesus does score for Arsenal in the Epl, moreso so far this season may not see Arsenal to the Epl title win this season.
But since he does workaholic job in games for the Gunners. As he brings other things into play which caused goals to be scored for the team by his team mates.
it has become very proper and important for Arteta to retain him in his team in the upcoming winter widow to not offload him. Saved, for a very tempting offer made which Arsenal can’t refuse but accept SHOULD he be offloaded next window.
Nevertheless, for Arsenal to improved on their low output goals scoring rate in the Epl in their striker dept in the fist half of the season.
Arteta SHOULD not jeopardized the chances of his Arsenal team to win the treble this season. By staying put on GJesus and ENkethia for Arsenal 2nd half of tthe season campaign to win the treble this season..
But he SHOULD look for a way to properly reinforced his Arsenal team with a new top quality regular top league clinical finish goals scoring striker reinforcement signing next Jan window unfailingly.
To active this singular significant objective by Arsenal in next winter window.
I would suggest to Arteta to take a serious look at Dominic Solanke of the AFC Bournemouth for Arsenal signing next Jan window and sign him.
Arteta should sign:
1. Striker eg Toney or Vlahovic
2. A versatile defender eg Guehi
3. A midfielder eg Zubi or Neves
And how do we pay for these players Freddy ?
Jesus is a better player, even a better scorer when he plays a wider role. We need Vlahovic urgently as the main striker to deliver needed goals. This season we have played Jesus in a wider role against Manchester city and he performed excellently well. He is strong, he has pace, he can dribble and he score goals more from the flanks than centre forward. We should get Vlahovic to make adjustments in the team.
I beg to differ, the problem we have right now is our wind backs, they are not supportive to Saka and Martinlie.White just sends the ball to Saka, whilst he surrounded by opponents, For Zinchenko everybody has seen how dreadful he is this season, even the goal that was doomed to in play, he blocked it , it was going out
