I think Jesus' atypical striker abilities are crucial to the way we build-up and defend. Finding a striker with those atypical skills and the typical clinical finishing skills is a difficult task. In the meantime, I think Arteta is comfortable using Jesus to get teams on the ropes and rely on scoring by committee with an all-out attack toward the end of matches if we're not winning.

He did have hip and concussion issues prior to the last international break. He looks close to full health now as, before the last round of internationals, he wasn't even getting opportunities like the two he missed last night.
