I think having jota up front over bobby brings a lot of positives and also a lot of pressure of salah and manes shoulders. As seen yesterday jota plays on the shoulders of defenders is clever with movement and has a goalscoring mentality whilst also pressing the defence just as effective as firmino . This means we have 3 lethal attackers up front that need to be occupied where as the best part of 6 to 8 months we have looked like a team with a central midfielder up front rather than a striker . Its certainly not the end of bobby but jota needs to start especially against man city .

Joa has pace. I think that's the difference. I cannot believe people writing Firmino off though, it's crazy. Bobby is a world class player. Remember his goal in the cwc, the goal against psg as a sub.

What we now have is a real viable other option. I love origi but he isn't perfect for a klopp cf hence getting played on the wing. With jota we have someone who can cover ANY of the front 3. So If mane needs a rest, jota can come on and do a job, same with the other two. Instead of everyone reacting to jotas hot form by talking about Firmino, let's just admire the fact that we have four genuinely top forwards now. Perfect.

I think Firmino will start against city. But I expect jota will feature. In fact klopp has pretty much said Bobby will start.

Klopp was asked what makes Liverpool so special? Ad he replied Bobby firmino.

I don't think we can really assess Jota's pressing compared to Bobby. The conditions yesterday in terms of the oppositions tactics and their form played right into our hands. glad we took full advantage.

Just out of interest, if a Real Madrid or such like offered say £60m for Firmino would you sell?
Personally, yes. And buy another top central defender.

Yes juicer who is to say bobby might need or want a fresh challenge, he has grafted for us and given everything and we all love him no matter what, I certainly ain't writing him off but I see clear evidence he is regressing instead of progressing and for me he needs to come out the first 11 to gain his hunger back .

Ed1 do you think Jota plays against city? Klopp is very loyal and I have a feeling Bobby will play. Love Bobby but I feel Jota and the form he is in will be an advantage against a weak defence. Would love your thoughts?

I like firmino, I've questioned him in the last but he's won me over. Personally I'd go with jota because he's the one in form and it's be silly not to try and take advantage of that. If it's not working you can always bring firmino on.

Jota's movement could be essential against city and that movement could free up Salah an mane to seek an destroy, I hope thiago is fit!

Comparing Jota to Bobbie, is not even worth the debate cos Bobbie is quick but not as pacey as Jota while Jota for now, cannot do all the things Bobbie can hence, different players with different skill sets hence, the comparison is futile, IMO.
