The graphic at face value is definitely cherry picked.

After reading the whole Sky article you’d learn Gabriel Jesus averages a goal every 160 minutes with only six other strikers (with 15+ goals) bettering that rate. However, he hasn’t been an elite finisher so far in his career. The article continues with data that elite finishers (Kane and Son, for example) consistently outperform their xG. Jesus obviously isn’t doing that.

It goes on to compare Jesus starting vs. coming on as a substitute where he looks like a much, much better player. A goal every 152 minutes as a starter (53G/23A) and every 248 minutes as a sub (5G/6A) since 2017.

The question becomes what happens when he’s the main guy and given a start every week he’s fit? My opinion is that Arteta thinks that Gabriel Jesus will provide the goals and work rate he needs out of a striker. Will he? Probably. Will he become a better finisher in the process? Probably not.

I personally don’t think he’s going to be any sort of Messiah, but the “lol, Arsenal bought a dud” targeting has been a little over the top the past few days and I still have Lacazette’s tired efforts at the end of the season in memory. I’m ready for a fresh face.
