It's not like Gabriel Jesus was banging in goals.
I don’t care about it at all
Jesus just know how to be injured just b4 a city game
the Community Shield only matters when Liverpool win it
All trophies matter.
I been saying Arsenal need to sign a 9 Jesus is not reliable enough
The FA Community Shield = English Super Cup is what all leagues have to inaugurate the season. It's not really a problem
While Jesus drops deep but for me Arsenal needs an out-and-out centre forward to just bang in the goals.
Arsenal are waste 😂
Comments in here about Jesus simply show why he wasn't a starter at City and Pep didn't mind not playing him. Feelings have very little to do in a professional world.
Gabriel Jesus seems to be overrated by Arsenal fans. There's no way that he can hold the #9 position for Arsenal all season if they plan on winning the Premier League. People forget about how instrumental Nketiah was last season.
Arsenal desperately need a quality striker. Jesus now proving to be injury prone with a Dodgy knee. Eddie, Nelson or Trossard aren't good enough
After some idiots thought Nunez>Haaland clearly the shield doesn't matter at all
going into the season with stupid eddie nketiah….
Community shield is not that important. It is culturally
Arsenal need striker like victor osihmen
Unfortunate, he will be crucial
It's a friendly in England, NOT a 'super cup', which is a silly idea anyway.
If they ever want to challenge for a cup this player isn't the one for them.
Give Balogun his minutes . He’s a better option than Nketiah for me
The community shield is more of a major trophy than the league Cup. So it is a big deal
Its funny city fans would go all out for the community sheild now theyre saying it doesnt matter
They will probably miss his work rate but not his goals.
Every trophy 🏆 matter that is a stupid question ⁉️ it's more important than the cup that west ham won 😲 it has longer history 😲
Arsenal to win 3-2. That's my pick. 2 goals surrendered mostly due to Ramsdale who isn't really a top 4 starting keeper- sorry to break this to Gunners fans
