Diogo Jota Player Thread (F)

One of may favourites in this squad.

Always looks a bit awkward but at the same time is a very effective footballer which is what it's all about after all.

Changed the game when he came on, not as much as Nunez but was a genuine nuisance and won some really good fouls while linking up play well with Mo and Darwin.

Didn’t put a foot wrong did he. I love him.

Sometimes I feel his link up play isn't where it should be for our front three, but yesterday he was simply brillaint.

I don't know why Gakpo starts ahead of him. Gakpo is good, don't get me wrong but Jota is direct and effective. He has assists and goals already. He might not be as composed as Gakpo but he's damn effective and he can score for sure.

For me, he should even start ahead of Diaz. Yes, Diaz scored two already but Jota is more threatening. He starts 35 games, he'll score 20, I'm sure of it.

It was noted during the game that they thought Klopp wanted gakpo for his physicality. Probably always was gonna put jota on and Nunez on with 30/20mins to go whne geordie defenders tired.
