ED666 has jota been reading your comments…. Lol.

{Ed0666's Note - I’m not ready for my slice of humble pie yet mate one swallow doesn't make a summer. The guy has a super goal return but frustrates me with the other facets of the game. He could be a worldie if he just passed the football to one of his teammates and linked up play consistently.

I think we expected him to replace Bobby but I think he is better on the left. It would mean his weakness, lack of build up play, isn't as detrimental to the way we play and in the summer we can hopefully find Bobby's replacement for the first 11. I'd personally still keep him in the squad.

I agree Ed0666,take away his goals and what does he give to the team? His passing is very poor therefore so is his link up play as Ed0666 has pointed out. Absolutely no doubt that he can score but his all round game is very poor. If we got a very good offer for him I would take it.

{Ed0666's Note - his goal return is truly wonderful so it’s sounds churlish bitching about the rest of his game I just wish he could improve and we’d really have a player. Also the inconsistency kills me.

Manes played in the central role for us a few times and to be honest I for one was impressed with him there. I think if we moved mane into the middle and Jota to the left it would suite them both. And the beauty of it then is if teams decide to park the bus against us we have Bobby to come off the bench and play as a 4 with Bobby in kind of the free role. This will cause teams defenders or midfielders to come out of position to mark him

As I don’t think playing 3 work horses in the middle against teams who park the bus or give us 75% + possession really helps us.

Mane has the pace to drop into pockets and then spin out to get in behind which is something Bobby lacks. How often do we see Bobby create something nice 30 yards from goal and then by the time the ball gets into the box or a scoring position he’s still 25 yards away.

{Ed0666's Note - I’ve also yearned for this tweak JK23 and the beauty of this would be Jota and Mane could interchange throughout the game giving defenders more to think about.

Barry I assume that comment was in jest “ take away his goals and what does he give to the team? ”

As we all know the hardest part of football is scoring so I’d take a goal scoring attacker every time!

You guys are crazy. Jota is class. So strange people are slagging him off. Makes zero sense.

No way are we selling Jota. Who would buy a player that has 27 goals in 57 games 🙄.

I really like jota the only thing I’d change is he plays on the left not though the middle!

“If you can’t decide what to do with the ball, stick it in the net and we’ll talk about it later”.
Those very words could have been written about Jota.
Goal machine.

I really don't think that I was being mean Ed0666.

{Ed0666's Note - it takes a brave man to speak his truth Bazza. I concur with you mate and constructive criticism is not being mean. What about all the games he’s non existent?

He can be anonymous in games - he tries but things don’t work out. I noticed he tends to get smashed at least once per game!

At the moment, our best front three are Salah, Jota and Mane. For me, they have to play because there is no one really challenging them.
That said, Mane is out of form and Jota is far from the finished product. He can go missing, sometimes be wayward with his passing and has a tendency to run down blind alleys. He seems too keen to attack sometimes. At times, we need to be patient, string a few passed together and take the pressure of the defence and midfield.
Jota needs to improve this aspect of his play.

Jota needs to add a lot more to his game cos goals come and go in spells and if the goals ain’t flowing, Jota is of very little use cos the other parts of his game is so lacking. Jota needs to improve on all fronts cos we all know it and we all see it.

If it was all about scoring goals then Bobbie would have been sold the day Klopp arrived. He sold Benteke instead and Bobbie is still here and an LFC legend. Not rocket science.
