Bergamo –
Existence Firmansah Trio Liverpool is being rocked by Diogo Jota. Seeing Jota’s recent sharpness, he might name the Jomansah Trio.
Jota is indeed a new kid at Liverpool this season after being bought from Wolverhampton for a price of 45 million pounds. Many predict Jota will only be a coating for the trio Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, and Mohamed Salah.
Naturally, considering the Firmansah trio has been dominant in Liverpool’s attack line since the 2017/2018 season. The three of them played a big role in helping Liverpool win the Champions League and English League.
However, Jota was brought in by Juergen Klopp not only to serve as a coating, but to challenge the existence of his three front players. Jota proves that he deserves to be a starter.
Before the duel against Atalanta on the third matchday of the Champions League, Wednesday (4/11/2020) in the morning WIB, Jota appeared as the hero of Liverpool’s victory when he beat West Ham United 2-1.
Jota scored which was his fourth goal for the team from Merseyside. Three of them were made in the initial three home games against Arsenal, Sheffield United and West Ham.
So many have asked Jota to be used as a starter to replace Firmino, who is dragging goals this season. Jota again showed off when Liverpool beat Atalanta 5-0 with a hat-trick.
He has amassed seven goals in just 10 appearances in all competitions. Jota is the second-sharpest player at Liverpool after Salah, who has scored nine goals in 11 appearances and is ahead of Mane, who has only scored five goals in 9 appearances.
Seeing Jota’s extraordinary performance against Atalanta, there is a possibility that the Portuguese player will seal a place in the attack line to shift Firmino, who has only scored one goal and one assist so far.
For the record, in the match against Atalanta, Diogo Jota, Salah, and Mane seem to be able to complement each other. Mane’s goal was an assist from Salah who released the through ball.
Now that the final decision is up to Klopp, whether to keep the Firmansah trio or start getting used to the new trio, Jomansah? Let’s wait when we face Manchester City this weekend.
