The German DAZN commentator said, “The only way Jota’s gonna stop tonight is if Klopp locks him on the bus” :smile:

No debate now, he’s first 11. His movement and goal scoring has been flawless and he does the other stuff you want as well. You can’t leave a player like that out.

Perfect start to his career at Liverpool. He’s not just scoring a lot of goals, he’s scoring important goals. Winners, opening goals.

He is a proper talent. Fast, intelligent movement, clinical, technically impressive. I actually can’t believe how good he is. He’s like a jack of all trades if Jack was fucking ace at everything.

If we look at he bigger picture,he only cost us £4mill up front for the season,then if you take into account we sold them Ki-jana Hoever for £13.5mill aswell (a reserve RB come CB we no longer need right now),Jota will only cost us £27.5mill in cash,thats a steal,especially when his potential and class is rising with every game he plays for us,it makes me laugh that Edwards gets away with it,when most people would be locked up for all these fucking robberies he’s doing.

How i imagine Edwards to look when doing transfer business for us.

Jota is the signing we exactly need. And I am glad the club waited for the right time for the right player at the right price.

But I would not write Firmino off so fast. This just mean we now have 4 very good players that can play in any position across the frontline. This gives Klopp so many options instead of problem. And to challenge Jota further, Firmino, Mane and Salah had done it at the top level for a few seasons now. Jota needs to continue to prove he is not a flash in a pan but capable to be ranked amongst tge best in the long run but he is looking really a level or two above the other squad players now

Odd how the problem of additional cover to the front line just disappeared.

It’s as if someone knew what they were doing :thinking: :thinking:

This is upsetting me. Before it was soo simple there was Hendo and only hendo then Mané came along and slowly grew on me and there was Hendo and Mané. Now Jota immediate impact and I have 3 is a crowd favorite players. This just can not go on. Edwards out! Klopp out! FSG out! :rage:

Exactly right mate, and you forgot to mention that Salah fella who just runs really fast and seems to be scoring at record pace for himself this season already. I’m just at a loss for words really at this team. Total crisis it seems…

TAA, Jones and Williams but these came through youth these cause me dilemas as well. :cry:
Alisson, VVD, Salah and perhaps Thiago if he ever gets to play considering that thugs are after him might push me beyond return however as long as Hendo, Mané and Jota keep up their impressive form I doubt it for me, I’m rather particular. :rofl:

Yeah, he has a very great work rate too, not just excellent technique and lethality.

Might be utterly wrong in my viewpoint and many may laugh but that takedown for his second reminded me of Torres as does some other aspects of his game.

Jorge Simao, Diogo Jota’s his first-team coach at Pacos de Ferreira. “When he signed for Porto (on loan in 2016), I told a Portuguese website that, for me, Jota would be the successor to Cristiano Ronaldo. Obviously, that was quite a big claim to make at that time, because Jota had only played for Pacos and had not had a good time at Atletico Madrid.”

“When Jota signed for Liverpool, I sent him a message to congratulate him. He replied, five seconds later, with a link to that old article about him and Ronaldo. It was the very first thing he sent! He must have had it bookmarked. Incredible! He hadn’t forgotten.” [The Athletic]
