      Shades of Suarez with the way he scored last night.

      He's getting better and better, all round improving on a regular basis which is great to see.

      Yes. He's getting better now that he is playing regularly. If he really wants to replace Firmino, he needs to improve his connection with Salah and Mane. I mean, he should look to provide more assists. It's a lot to ask, since he is already scoring a lot but that's the thing missing IMO when compared to Firmino.

      Great player. But not at that level yet.

      Huh? If he wants to replace Firmino?

      Jota is scoring goals for fun, goals Bobby could only dream of scoring. And his link up play is getting better with each game.

      If this form continues Bobby will be back up to Diogo from here on.

      Great position to be in isnt it.

      For me of the front 4 only Mo is a safe regular the other 3 fight it out for the 2 other spots, nice!

      He's already replaced Firmino. Not sure why some people refuse to accept that.

      When Firmino was fit, he was on the bench as Jota was ahead of him in the lineup.

      I think it depends on the opposition as well - when Bobby comes back he will start in games and others will be rotated - against someone like City or Chelsea I can see Bobby starting

      He's not replacing anyone, he's being himself. We need more players pushing hard and hard to drop.

      Firmino and Jota are different styles and offer different qualities depending on the opponent. We need them both in January so Bobby hurry up.

      He hasn't, but keep telling yourself that.

      of course he hasnt Bobby is unique and at the moment Jota is a blunt instrument and scoring goals for fun Bobby is like a conductor of an Orchestra and in big games against top opposition he is the one who can unlock things for himself and others. What a nice problem for Jürgen to have

      Exactly - Firmino is incredible.

      Sorry he already is!!

      He's a completely different player to Bobby. Jota's a goalscorer. Might not always have a good game, but will score goals.

      He has, two different type of players as well. But Jota will score more goals than Bobby cos that's what Jota does. Look at the Derby, I think Jota had a quiet game, then that chance and bang he scores.

      Don’t really care. Klopp will prefer Bobby when he’s healthy just like he has since Jota has been here.

      You should as Jota will be getting more and more game time with the goals he scores. Two of our best performances this season have been at OT & woodison. Both had a front three of Salah, Mane and Jota!!

      Doesn’t really matter to me as long as we are winning. Good problem for Klopp to have. Ultimately we will know once Bobby is back and healthy who is preferred. Until then hopefully Diogo stays healthy and continues his scoring.

      Except for the fact it was a front 3 of Salah, Jota and Firmino with Mane coming on for the final 10mins at OT.  :f_whistle:
