Digavilla Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Jota need to play with players with same wavelength & understanding, need his teammates to read the gaps / open angles to make runs.. aka KDB & Sterling, Firmino- Salah.. I not suggesting Jota is that good , but such type need these.. Mcggin/Hourihane etc are not fluid type players to play this way , as it seemed only smaller Latin players have such attributes. Maybe bring back O Hare ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe bring back O Hare ? The cult of O’Hare is strong with some of the fan base. I really don’t understand what he has done to warrant any call up to play in the Premier League. We need a change of formation to bring in Jota, I expect he’ll get his chance soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digavilla Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 He was MOM against Everton, with those thru pass on the deck for Wesley .. we have not seen any such since his injury.. only left with wing play & occasional Grealish trying to drive from left.. he’s seemed the only creative spark / skill to create chances , with Anwar/ Trez often running into dead alleys .. we create nothing last night & still can’t believe we had zero shots on target last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you watch the whole match or just the highlights? DS took a punt on him and it hasn't worked out no biggy as he cost feck all and we off loaded a dirty bluenose is the process.

Weak as piss. I think he's struggled badly so far. 262 minutes in the league, less than 3 full games. Seems daft to write players off so soon. Plenty of players need time to find form. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I rate him either, I just haven’t seen enough to pass judgement either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was very good against Everton in both the whole match and the highlights. He and Guilbert down the right were a breath of fresh air that night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was motm or close to it versus Everton, I agree he hasn't replicated that form in other premier matches, but he was excellent against Everton no doubt. (Yes I did watch the whole match) I would be tempted to give jota a shot at the AM role (grealish/jota/ghazi or trez- with 2 of , McGinn Conor, Luiz or nakamba behind them) For jotas apparent physical issues in the prem, he has passed in his locker that no other player at the club has (other than maybe grealish) Edited December 17, 2019 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I think he will start tonight at 10 in place of McGinn with EG and Trez on the wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see him in the central mid position tbh, less reliant on pace and no doubt he has some defence cutting passes in his arsenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 He was possibly our best player overall tonight, put in more effort than some and is arguably a more creative passer than Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
