Ian Wright: ‘Arsenal Fans Must Back Him, He Needs Their Support Right Now’

Ian Wright, has urged Arsenal fans to back Gabriel Jesus as the Brazilian forward tries to score his first goal of the season. Although some fans have expressed dissatisfaction with his recent performances, Wright believes that Jesus is still an important part of Arsenal’s strategy and that he deserves the support of the fans.

In defense of the forward, Wright shared his opinions on his Wrighty’s House podcast: “Can I just say something about Gabriel Jesus because I feel the need to support him right now. I really, really do,” he stated, according to The Mirror. While some Arsenal fans might think the team has outgrown Jesus, Wright thinks they should keep in mind the important contribution he made when he initially joined the club.

Wright explained, “Gabby was a leveller when he arrived and leveled us up.” “Arsenal are at a certain level now, but we will need him at some stage.”

Wright emphasized how important it is to stand behind Jesus at this trying time. “I think it’s important in this moment for the Arsenal fans to support him. They have to get behind him.

“Don’t be frustrated with the way he’s playing. He’s trying so hard at the moment and we’re going to need him.

The former striker for Arsenal continued to point out Jesus’ previous accomplishments, telling fans that he had four Premier League championships and had proven to be a reliable player in important situations. “He wants to do so well. It’s just not happening right now, but he needs support, he really, really does.”

Jesus returned to the starting lineup for Arsenal during their most recent 3-1 victory over Southampton. Even though he failed to score, he played a good game and contributed to the win. But after sixty minutes, he and Raheem Sterling were replaced by Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

After the match, Mikel Arteta was asked regarding whether Jesus and Sterling had qualified for regular starts. “I was really happy,” Arteta said, expressing his appreciation with their contributions. Everyone deserves to play, therefore we had to make the necessary adjustments.

Arteta also described the tactical reasons for the changes. “In the first half it could have been very different to the result we had at half-time. After that we decided to change because the energy had to be changed and we brought on three players that have the ability to do that and they really helped. I’m really pleased with everybody.”

Despite the fact Gabriel Jesus hasn’t scored yet this season, his contributions to the squad as a whole are indisputable. He has been putting in a lot of effort both on and off the ball, and Arteta will benefit greatly from his experience and leadership abilities. Ian Wright’s message is clear: When Jesus regains his form, he will surely be a key member of the Gunners once more, thus Arsenal fans should have patience and keep supporting him through this difficult time.

Players like as Jesus will be important for Arsenal’s success this season as the clubs aims to compete at their very best. The fans must support him in the same way that they did when he initially joined the club and helped the team get better. Wright’s appeal to stand by Jesus serves as a reminder that, even in trying times, players need the support of their fans in order to regain confidence and contribute to the team’s success.
