Guest av1 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think that because Jota is so one footed, he will only really be effective Infront of a fullback constantly bombing forward. When relatively isolated he is far to easy to defend against because he hasn't got the pace to beat a man and will always look to cut inside. Infront of Guilbert he could be effective, not so much with Elmo imo. That's probably more a criticism of Jota rather than Elmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see him doing anything other than coming off the bench later on in games, looked OK in pre season and a decent squad player but not good enough to start in this team in the PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is essentially what a mate of mine said who is unfortunately a nose. Said once a fullback works him out he needs backup to be effective in any way.

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'd like to see him in the AMC position. If we are chasing the game play with 2 ACM, put jota in there and see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 He’s a decent player I just don’t think he’s suited for the wings, he hasn’t got the pace and keeps bringing the call back to his left foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Amazing what a claret and blue kit can do for your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 23, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2019 I'm still worried about our right flank because Jota doesn't track back. But that was a great pass, awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the time he was on the pitch he covered more meters than anyone else on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 He was excellent, 3 or 4 absolutely class passes, great assist. any doubts he can perform in the prem are quashed imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Very bright last week in his cameo, exceptional today, he's a proper footballer and it's been a while since we've had someone who an play a proper through ball. Wonderful display, not just his passing but his dribbling, invention and intelligence on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Quality. He looks to try through balls constantly which Wesley loved. Keep him starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Wesley was MOTM but this guy was really not far behind. Worked his little socks off, a great buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 He seems to have a funny running motion so looks awkward at times but some nice flicks and tricks and he looked comfortable out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 He's a cracking bloke at what he does, his trickery that he pulls off it confused Everton to no end, they were frustrated by him. God knows how city could utilise Jota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
