I think most decent club sides would thrash most international sides tbh. But international football is completely different to club football - it's not like these managers get to work with these players day-in-day out. 

International clubs can't spend shitloads of money on fullbacks like some clubs too

Yes, national teams have to build with what they have. Clubs don't just have more time with the players, the best clubs are buying in the best players that best suit formation & styles of play.

Does Gabriel Jesus really complement a side with all pacy attack minded wingers around him? Or is the manager being a bit old fashioned to want a poacher that he sees in Richarlison?

And I think there is much more tactically going on than anyone has dared reason about as to why Gabriel Jesus was playing out wide, allowing Sterling or Foden to play down the middle. He goes off to Arsenal, has the impact he's had there. And Haaland somehow gets to play striker.
