Fans on X have called out Gabriel Jesus despite Arsenal's 3-0 win over Monaco in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, December 11. Jesus was wasteful in attack and missed two big chances during the game.
Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the 34th minute after being set up by Gabriel Jesus. The Englishman doubled the Gunners’ lead in the 78th minute after receiving a pass from Kai Havertz. In the 88th minute, Havertz scored Arsenal's third goal as Saka turned provider.
Despite Monaco's efforts to fight back, the game ended 3-0 in favor of Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. In 73 minutes on the pitch, Jesus' passing accuracy was 82% (9/11). He registered three shots on target and lost possession five times.
Fans on X expressed their disappointment with the 27-year-old’s performance, with one tweeting:
"Gabriel Jesus it's time to learn Chinese.”
"My grandma is a better footballer than Gabriel Jesus. Watching him is a torture to oneself,” a fan added.
"Gabriel jesus is so finished,” a fan opined.
"This is an all timer disasterclass from Gabriel Jesus. Leave the football before the football leaves you bud,” another fan opined.
"Gabriel Jesus should get the hell out of my club! Does he think we are joking here??,” wrote another.
Jesus has scored one goal and registered two assists in 19 appearances across competitions this season. Arsenal are third in the Champions League standings, having registered 13 points from six games.

The Gunners are willing to pay around €55 to €65 million to secure Joao Pedro's signing from Brighton & Hove Albion, according to a report by Fichajes.net. The Brazilian has been impressive in front of goal this season.
In nine Premier League appearances, the youngster has netted four goals and registered three assists. Arsenal's interest in signing Pedro could be seen as an attempt to bolster Mikel Arteta's attacking options.
Pedro is primarily a centre-forward but his proficiency to feature in multiple attacking positions could be beneficial to the Gunners. It is believed that Pedro is a player who could easily fit into Arteta's dynamic style of play.
The aforementioned report stated that Pedro is valued at €50 million. However, his valuation is expected to rise if he maintains consistency. The 23-year-old is contracted at Brighton till June 2028.
