Hi Ed001, need your point on Jota. Mane and Salah are pacy wingers compared to him. How he is going to fit? . I like Jota. He is better than Sarr in many aspects of the game IMHO. Delighted we are signing him as backup. He is much better than what we have.
IMO, Jota will be more useful in playing behind firmino and cover to Mane and Salah as games are coming thick and fast. This leaves Minamino who is growing into team and I think Ox will be sold next season if not this one.
What is your thoughts?

{Ed001's Note - he can play central as well, he is a clever player who provides cover across the frontline and will fit fine. He is not slow.}

I'd actually say he is quick, maybe not Mane quick but no slouch. Most important is that he is quick of mind.

18 Sep 2020 18:59:52
You need to watch Jota more, his pace, strength are under appreciated.

Can't believe he's just 23. Think this is a fantastic buy.

He is quick too and takes people on. Our squad is on fire. Hopefully we don't lose anyone major.

Ed01, I love Jota. He is a brilliant footballer and is a Klopp type player or wide man. He is also a very hardworker and never stops running. If we can get the deal over the line, it would b a steal, IMO.

{Ed001's Note - just inconsistent.}

I'm so excited even more now. Love to see fresh players coming in lad's YNWA.

I'm pretty sure you made a article a while ago ed an Jota was in your top 10 left wingers?

Your judgment is usually excellent so I hope you're right again 😁.

I do like him myself.

Uncle Jurgen said something today along the lines of to write new stories you need new actors.

Potential Jota, Minamino, Elliott front 3 for the future 🤔.

{Ed001's Note - if he can perform to his best consistently then we have a damn fine player.}

18 Sep 2020 19:32:08
Ed001 I suppose that consistency is exactly what the coaching staff will be working on with him, but meanwhile he's a pretty explosive player to have coming off the bench and definitely a better Sadio stand-in than Origi on the left.

{Ed001's Note - yep, I agree with that, or to play on the right and in the centre as well.}

18 Sep 2020 19:46:18
Yep he's quick, dangerous and a goal scorer. A more polished player than Sarr. He's rarely played on the right but it's not really about left or right or wherever, he'll fit nicely into a front 3 or 4 that is constantly moving and switching all over the place and giving defenders night terrors in their sleep before and after matches. >:)

Remember when Klopp last signed an inconsistent left winger from a mid table prem club. Think his name was Sadio something.

Livered, Never heard of him.
