Missed a few chances but thought he was excellent. Movement was so refreshing, causing chaos and so close to scoring tonight and his last few cameos.

Yeah the run he made in the build up to Salah’s goal is not a run Bobby would make.Modifying post.Comment

Jota makes it impossible to have a team plan, he's just popping up everywhere and has really scary accuracy (usually) with his shots. Oppos can't just 'let him have the ball' outside the box as you can with Bobby.One tit for another.

Bobby out may be a blessing as he's been so poor for so long. Jota is a live wire, with the 3 lads you have pace and movement everywhere and especially against low block sides as it pulls them out of position as we are less predictable. Only a matter of time before they all start kicking in again.Comment

And then having the option of Bobby from the bench when he is fit will make us much stronger.Last edited by Buzzo; 11-03-21, 12:19 AM.Modifying post.Comment

His goal last night was typical Jota. He hit the ball early, hard and on target. Keeper made a meal of it and probably should have saved it, but because he hit it first time it took him by surprise. This is a massive plus point for jota. Rather than faffing about he is able to get shots away quickly. He offers something different to the regular 3. If he hadn't ****ed his knee we would have been comfortably top 4.Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back. Oscar WildeComment

Very true, he shoots on sight and has a powerful strike. Refreshing to see how he uses both his feet so well, much less predictable in this regard than someone like Salah who is also looking to shape it onto his left and curl into the far corner.
He had an effort saved by Patricio towards the end where he took a pass on his left rolled it out beautifully and lashed it with his right.
It sounds stupid to say as you'd expect all professionals to be very good with both feet but it seems more of rarity in todays game vs clips I've seen of bygone eras.
Most of them seem competent with their weaker foot but unwillingly to use it unless absolutely necessary.Y.N.W.A!!!!!!

Took a deflection didn't it? Keeper probably had it covered otherwise
Not that I care

Not sure I saw a deflection in there...Henry reckons he mis-kicked it and wasn't aiming to cut across the ball, but I guess only Jota knows that.

He works his nuts off as well which is great. When you have hard working guys like Jota, Mane, Bobby and Mo - then even when they are not in form like Mane and Bobby for large parts of this season, they still offer something.
That is why there is a big drop off when Divock plays - he just doesn't work as hard as the others.
I am hopeful that we can go on a bit of a run now and make the CL next year....... will be less pressure for the team when we are in the final if we are already qualified for next seasons competition too!!!Comment

He's a live wire, still no where near his best match sharpness and he has been dangerous in every single game since he has come back. He was quiet last night but still done the business. Relentless work rate and constantly going forward and asking questions. Brilliant player.Comment

What I love about Jota is the fact he can hit the ball with pace and accuracy with hardly any backlift. That so aids him in being able to have a shot inbound before a keeper or defender has time to anticipate it.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.
