Gabriel Jesus brought in that winning mentality into Arsenal from Man City and it helped propelled Arsenal attacking options

It should have an impact negatively I mean his absence because what he brings to the squad even without scoring can't be done by some players, to even say Nketiah, he is a back up option but will not be like Gabriel Jesus.

Why should Tammy Abraham leave Roma, he is scoring goals seeing full time game doesn't seat on the bench and has no problem with fans and coach, why should he leave, I see no reason for that

This is very unfortunate news, but it's what we talked about earlier that the World Cup could bring unpleasant surprises for coaches. Gabriel Jesus' injury is a big problem for Arteta as he has already become an indispensable player for Arsenal. You understand how difficult it is to find a replacement for a player in the middle of the season, and not every club will let go of their leaders, Spalletti understands that he needs Osimhen, since Napoli are also fighting for the championship in Serie A.

Gabriel Jesus joined Arsenal with a lot of hope from them but even Arsenal successfully have protected their first position before the World Cup, Gabriel Jesus did not a most important player for Arsenal.

I agree that the injury and his long time absence will have impact on Arsenal attacking but it won't be too serious for them. They have Martinelli, Saka, Odegaard and some great attacking midfielders who can cover the absence of Jesus. Moreover the style of Jesus is similar to attacking midfielder and he is not too good at a striker position.

I don't believe Tammy Abraham will leave Roma to join Arsenal. He might leave Roma and Italy, then return to Premier League but he might choose a bigger club than Arsenal.

As usual, the Premier League has Boxing Day matches during the Christmas and New Year celebrations. The match that will be the opening match is the match between Brentford v Tottenham. I think this will be an exciting match too, because this season Brentford can often put up great resistance when playing against the top ranked teams or when playing against the top five ranked teams.
In fact, in the previous match or match before yesterday's break, in fact, Brentford could beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. I think these results are quite surprising too, because Manchester City are currently competing in the title race, so Manchester City should be able to take advantage of this match to win.

But Brentford this season cannot be underestimated at all, and Tottenham will still be required to be able to make great efforts to be able to get full points because Tottenham will also play away.
Even though, in head to head at least Tottenham proved to be dominating to be able to beat Brentford, it seems that at this moment these results still cannot be used as a guarantee for an easy win.

Anyway, this Boxing day match looks like it will be a very tiring match, because they will continue to play after the world cup.
Unlike other leagues that will continue the league next year, but for Ligue 1 and also La Liga it seems they also have matches to be played at the end of the year.

There are lots of rumors and speculations going around regarding Gabriel Jesus. until now, Arteta cannot confirm how long Jesus will be absent from his injury. some say one month, some say it takes at least 3 months to recover. even so, Arteta had to take quick steps to overcome the problems facing the Gunners. there is one name that is an option available for the position left by Jesus, namely, Nketiah, who played well during the trial match with Lyon and he contributed one goal.

however, Arteta will bring in a centre-forward who is better prepared for Arsenal's upcoming games.
IMO, the player who is ready to replace Jesus is Victor Osimhen. he will also make Arsenal's front line sharper. however, I'm not sure he would want to join Arsenal even if for example Nopoli would approve. But, as a Gunners fan. I hope Arteta will make the best decision for his squad, ahead of the Premier League restart.

As a result of this injury Gabriel Jesus, according to the latest news, will be absent long enough from football to recover. Gabriel Jesus had knee surgery in London and it went well. Arsenal does need a replacement for Gabriel Jesus, and several replacement players who are likely to replace Gabriel Jesus in the next transfer window are likely to be recruited by Arteta, such as Victor Osimhen from Napoli, Jonathan David da Lille, Ivan Toney from Brentford, Tammy Baraham from Rome and Armando Broja of Chelsea. Most likely the 5 players will replace Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal need all players to maintain their consistency in Premier League and injured of Gabriel Jesus indeed beyond out of predictions and Jesus was playing as centre striker during this season and when Jesus unable to played indeed Arteta was more likely to played Nketiah as Jesus position in the several matches
But in the term of scoring goals Nketiah quality is below to Jesus even this season Nketiah has spend 12 matches without scoring even a single goal so this proven when Jesus got injured Arteta doesn't have the players who had quality equal to Jesus but luckly Arsenal still have Gabriel Martinelli or Bukayo Saka although their position as a winger but so far these players can performing well

The Glazers, by the way, want (as reported in the news) to sell United and their profits will be really good. Even taking into account the past 17 years x5-x7 that they can get from the sale is a good profit. With the Premier League attracting crazy investments in recent years, I don't think it will be a problem to find a buyer (but I hope it won't be another sheik).

Graham Potter still can't make Chelsea dominance at top standing position in Primer League until 14 matches and right now stuck at 8th standing position with 21 points and left 16 points from Arsenal lead top position awhile. I don't sure with Graham Potter after underperformance with Chelsea last several matches in Primer League can back consistency after World Cup.

Actually not all mistake from Graham Potter because he just continue current Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, still not changed with Chelsea player composition because when Graham Potter become manager window transfer have been closed and right now his opportunity after World Cup at January when window transfer open for signing potential player filled center forward position.

Friendly matches are not important for any team. In these matches, renowned or big teams form their second or third-row squads. The players of their first-row squad are not seen in this match. Even if the star players are in the squad for these matches, they perform very carefully. Because no player wants to face injury while performing in a friendly match. Therefore, it is foolish to judge the strength of the teams in these matches by winning or losing. However, Manchester United will play against Real Betis today. I hope we will see a better performance from United than the previous match.

The loss of these players was not even felt in Guardiola's team, the additional players closed them up

Imagine a club loosing Gabriel Jesus, Zinchenko and Sterling and are still doing fine at the top.

Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko are both great part of Arsenal team, Gabriel Jesus may not score but he opens space up for other players to score. Zinchenko has dumped Tierney since his arrival on the bench, he had been outstanding.

Yes, that's right, friendly matches are one of their ways to give opportunities to players who rarely or never even experience playing in real competitions. And who knows in that friendly match there was a player who managed to steal the attention of a coach to use him in the competition.
You're right, there are a lot of big teams who lose friendly matches, but that doesn't mean they did the same when they started the league. So something like this is something that usually happens.

I agree with your review that friendly matches are not real competitions, friendly matches are just trials to see the performance of players who are rarely used and it is the coach's job to screen potential players, even though Manchester United lost in the trial but I'm sure it won't affect their appearance when they returned to the English league competition after the world cup, because many great teams lost during trials but they returned to play well when participating in official competitions.

I agree, it is not right to care too much about friendly matches for this reason. These are the matches where the team does not play with the team it should be, the development of the players is observed and the coaches try something new.
Otherwise, of course, a team like Manchester United would not have lost this match. At the moment, neither team is actually playing as it should, after the world cup is over, every team will form a roster as it should

The friendly matches which Manchester United have played or will play during the course of this World Cup is not a serious one to begin to cry about. It is a match that the young boys in his team are being tried. I saw Marshall as the striker and I also saw other good finishers like Garnacho and Elanga. Van de Beek was at the middle with Mctomny. Although Manchester United we are supposed to come out well in the match because they have famous names in the team but even if it didn't work out there is no cause for alarm. It's for fitness purposes

The friendly games are just to help the coaches assess their team's performance and progress so far and it is not a competition that the fans should whine about a lose. Soon the world cup will be over and every player will be returning back to their clubs to resume the season. Arsenal also had a game against Lyon which ended in a 3 nil win in Arsenal's favour. The boys put up a good show and dominated the game so well.

Arsenal's striker stock this season seems sufficient even though one of them has suffered an injury. I agree that Jesus' injury will have an impact on Arsenal's attacking power, but considering there are other players who can make up for this deficiency, it doesn't seem to matter.

So far Arsenal and the consistency is still very convincing, but I don't know how things can turn out for them in the second half of the season. I only believe that other strong teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham or Manchester United will continue to try their best to collect more points, and of course this will affect Arsenal's progress at the top.

The season has been a complicated one especially for the blues, a lot have been happening in the club and has affected the team's performance so far. The international break which will give Chelsea the opportunity for some restructuring and improvement. I am expecting a list of new signings in January because at this point Chelsea need to add a few talented players to the squad for a turn around and I think that is what Garry will be planning to do now.

If I look at the game from Manchester United, then they have a good attack scenario it's just that it's true that they need players who can be players who finish their attacks well. Unlike the previous season, under the direction of Erik Ten Hag they are more able to build attacks from below and are more daring to hold onto the ball longer. So it's a good decision if they have a roster of forwards to target in the upcoming transfer window.

The absence of Gabriel Jesus is a big blow to Arsenal and Arteta but they will not sit back and complain. They are lucky it happened when enough time will be given them to plan their next move. It is now left for Arteta to decide to get a striker by January or decide to use Nketiah who also is a good striker till when Jesus will recover from the injury. There is time for him to make decisions and i wouldn't want to see him make a free fall from the top.
