Diogo Jota Stats
The Unseen Challenges of Liverpool’s Previous Season There were many reasons for Liverpool’s struggles last season, not least an ageing midfield and a system that completely fell apart around it. Then there were the endless injuries that held the Reds back, whether it be Ibrahima Konate in defence, Thiago in midfield or Luis Diaz out […]
Diogo Jota is a man with high ambitions. You can’t reach the levels he has without having a burning, endless drive and an insatiable thirst for improvement. He was recently talking to FourFourTwo and spoke of how he hopes for two major things next season. For starters, Jota wants the Reds to compete seriously for […]
Diogo Jota lost something when Liverpool won 6-1 against Leeds United on Monday, though what he retained and gained at Elland Road could prove to be far more important. The most obvious thing he lost was the ball. A lot. The 26-year-old turned over possession (through mis-controls and unsuccessful touches) on five occasions when the […]
A few reports surfaced on Wednesday that had Newcastle perhaps interested in making an offer for Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota. The Magpies are looking to accelerate the growth of their footballing enterprise, making some very good acquisitions since their change in ownership. Eddie Howe has invested well thus far, with a clear intention to create […]
It’s a mixed 26th birthday today for Diogo Jota as he finds himself over in Dubai with the Liverpool squad, but certainly not working to the same timetable. The Portuguese forward isn’t expected back until February at the absolute earliest according to James Pearce’s article and would as a consequence miss at least a further […]
When Liverpool signed Diogo Jota from Wolves, it was a signing that appeared reactionary to the failure to obtain Timo Werner. In the 18 months since he arrived, Diogo has proven to be not only a valuable rotation piece, but a player that can succeed Sadio Mané on the left-hand side of Liverpool‘s famed attack. […]
It’s no secret that Liverpool would benefit from a reliable centre-forward. Roberto Firmino is good for double digits in the Premier League and he brings more to the team than just goals. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook the fact a ruthless No9 would make a difference. Now, the dream signing for most […]
Diogo Jota has a bit of a knack for not particularly playing that well but managing to find the back of the net. It is a handy trait to have. He did just that against Norwich City in Liverpool’s season opener, scoring the first as the Reds romped to what was a relatively straightforward 3-0 […]
The real Roberto Firmino, or at least something close to it, has returned. The Brazilian has had a 2020 to forget on an individual footballing level, even if he was crowned a Premier League champion during the middle part of the year. That Club World Cup-clinching goal against Flamengo last December feels like a lifetime […]
“I don’t think any system could have defended tonight Sadio, Mo & Diogo, the way they played, with the support of the others.” In his post-match presser, Jürgen Klopp was bubbling with praise for his entire team, championing the manner in which the team defended with concentration and discipline, and attacked with synchronicity and fluidity.
