'Nketiah better than Jesus' - Fans back Ghana prospect to shine for Arsenal after injury to Brazil forward

Nketiah will score goals. He's better than Jesus at that. The only thing I might say that's disadvantageous is; he's not as selfless as Jesus. Our build up play will not be as devastating as before. - @hassanbarii_

Nketiah is better than Jesus, I don’t know why everyone is panicking… - @LOCONGOSZN

Gabriel Jesus out for at least THREE months. Eddie Nketiah this is the time to step up. Get a thumb drive with Gabriel Jesus clips, lock yourself in a room and watch them on repeat. When done head over to the training ground and get to work. We need you Eddie. - @WelBeast

Nketiah should know this is his time to shine and actually really prove he can step up when needed… Nketiah was a revelation at the end of last season, he just needs support and who knows he might just be a gem after all.👍🏾 #afc - @AFCtimi

Huge opportunity for Eddie Nketiah to step up to the plate with Jesus injured. - @Gunnersc0m

People are forgetting that as we speak, Arteta has Nketiah working 18 hours a day in the UAE bubble specifically manufacturing him into the greatest #9 of all time there is NOTHING to worry about - @STU1VENBERG

I don’t even think Nketiah is bad, Champions League games clouding judgement he can still replicate a lot of what Jesus does but simply isn’t at his level + psychological impact will be massive. - @STU1VENBERG

Gabriel Jesus has transformed Arsenal but let’s not forget what Nketiah did last season. It’s him time to remind everyone just how good he is. We’re all behind you @EddieNketiah9. @Loggy_caswell

We should be fine with Nketiah till Jesus returns.. What's the meltdown about its only three to four weeks. - @PeakSanti

People forget how well Nketiah played the end of last season when he was needed. I hope he proves all his detractors wrong! #COYG - @DaddyDrex4

Arsenal fans doubting the qualities of Eddie Nketiah like he didn't prove his worth when he was most needed the previous season will not cease to amuse me. - @phveektordrayne

We did this with Alexandre [Lacazette] upfront and now we have Nketiah who can actually move his limbs, we also have William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko inverted for control.

Hilarious how people think we’re not going to still win basically every week. Partey is the key. We’ll be fine. - @MoArsenal86

The title charge must go on, No free hit cos Jesus is out. If Nketiah costs us the blame lies with Arteta, who gave him the contract👍🏾 - @Ak_afc0

Arteta says Nketiah is good enough to play for Arsenal and convinced him to sign a new long-term deal - when he could have left for free!!!- @TILIKI_OS

Nketiah could’ve left Arsenal in June. But Arteta convinced him to stay. #AFC gave him a long-term deal and a kit number that holds sentimental value to the club. That deal wasn’t out of pity. MA and his coaching staff genuinely believe he can contribute to the team. - @TILIKI_OS

Three months of Eddie Nketiah leading the line for us. He's not here to sit back, he's here to take over. You're welcome. - @FanNketiah

I think Nketiah will be extremely good that Jesus will have a hard time getting back into the team. @MichaelTrance1

Take note of all the accounts that's supporting Nketiah to lead us in the absence of Gabriel Jesus, they will still be the same people that will criticise and abuse Arteta and Edu for repeating the same mistake if they didn't sign another striker after the January transfer. - @Sugamite2

Jesus out for three months. Arsenal need a top striker in January if they want to win the league. 😬😬 - @iFaizanZahid

Gentle reminder that even Mikel Arteta himself had said in order to challenge Arsenal need THREE strikers, not two. Demanding the bare minimum is not anti-Arsenal, it is your duty as a fan of this club. Arsenal is a winners club, how about you all act like it. - @OberynAtreides

Either way Arsenal need a striker. If Nketiah gets hurt or needs to rest what happens then? - @EyesAdoasi

I think Arsenal should make a loan bid with option to buy Mitrovic from Fulham if Gabriel Jesus is going to be out for a while. We always need not less than one striker. Nketiah X Mitrovic. - @afclaurieann

Imagine going to Anfield, Etihad, St James Park and Spurs Stadium with Nketiah as your striker! I hate this game. - @Sugamite2

Can't believe people still think Nketiah is a viable starting option for us. He's no where near good enough. - @Swiller1988

Im sorry if Jesus is out we can’t have Nketiah as our only option. @N7Gunner
