Gabriel Jesus was supposed to be Arsenal’s experienced player in the title race; however, the Brazilian lost his head after the full-time whistle.
Mikel Arteta’s team were anything but calm in the second 45 minutes at Molineux, and needed a leader to step up in the Midlands.
😡 How badly did Gabriel Jesus let Arsenal down at full-time…
Earlier this week, Rio Ferdinand claimed Jesus would be really important for Arsenal given his experience of winning four Premier League titles.
So for him to have been the one to really lose his head and shove Yerson Mosquera after the 2-2 draw is a huge disappointment to see.
Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus lost his compaore against Wolves
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus lost his composure against Wolves by shoving Wolves defender Mosquera after the full-time whistle.
In a moment when the Gunners had just thrown away two points, and the team needed to show level heads, the striker really let his teammates down.
The Jesus incident highlights that this Arsenal team are now feeling the pressure, and it was a foolish moment from such an experienced player.
Ferdinand was talking up Jesus earlier this week as the one who could be keeping Arsenal grounded, having won titles with Man City; however, that incident proved him wrong.
Speaking after Arsenal’s draw with Brentford, Ferdinand told Rio Ferdinand Presents: “The biggest point will be what was the conversation and the reaction like after that result? Who is having those conversations?
Who was Arsenal’s worst player vs Wolves?
Ferdinand added that this is where Jesus’ expeince would come in and he could be the man to give the Gunners, having previously won a Premier League title.
“That’s where experience comes in, and that’s where Gabriel Jesus might be critical right now because he’s one of the only ones in that dressing room who has won something,” he claimed.
Many fans will be questioning where that fight was during the match, and have every right to be frustrated at Jesus’ reaction.
Arsenal striker situation should be a concern for Mikel Arteta
Viktor Gyokeres was shocking against Wolves, as the Swede had just 11 touches and failed to have a single shot at goal.
Meanwhile, Jesus was unable to make any impact off the bench when Arsenal most needed a goal.
Neither striker has really made the position their own, and it’s clear that Kai Havertz’s return can’t come soon enough.
