that assist says a lot about him
that he's also a team player..

many others, faced with a similar situation, would have taken the shot ..at the goalkeeper, which has a 70% chance of been stopped

That is an all-singing, all-dancing performance!!! Wow!

... and he plays for us!!! Life is...good! ;-)

I like these players - fast, low center of gravity, ability to cut, dribble at speed. We already had Salah and Mane, and now Jota.

Ghost Town · « **Reply #483 on:** October 16, 2020, 04:46:02 pm »

Both our new(ish) players have a chance to become instant heroes tomorrow, and I'm sure they know it.

They're incredibly fun to watch, aren't they? You lean up off your seat every time they get the ball. Must be a nightmare for defenders too. As a defender you might relish or feel comfortable in a physical battle or trust your reading of the game, but you don't want to be backtracking at pace or having a fast, tricky dribbler taking you down the flanks or cutting into the box.

They cut into the balance in defenders minds, don't they? The better a defender is in reading the game, the more space he can afford to have between the attacker and him, but close up that space a bit and you can find yourself in their wake...

I thought he made himself really busy when he came on. Got a lot of the ball on that side and worked well with Mane (apart from when they ran into each other)

Should’ve brought him on for Bobby long before he actually did

Samie · « **Reply #487 on:** October 21, 2020, 09:59:00 pm »

He's pretty impressive when he comes on isn't he?

DelTrotter · « **Reply #488 on:** October 21, 2020, 10:00:51 pm »

Gotta be rewarded with a start now you'd think. He's great.

He's no Ismaila Sarr but he'll do.

Jwils21 · « **Reply #495 on:** October 21, 2020, 10:12:33 pm »

Looks perfect for our style of play. Exciting player and has one of the main qualities needed to succeed in our attack - he looks a right pain in the arse. Just when you think you’ve took the ball off him he’s snapping back at you. Bright future this lad

That pass with his left foot to Gini for that big chance towards the end was sumptuous.

It's really nice to have a player off the bench who suits us that well. Inspired signing

Carra-ton · « **Reply #501 on:** October 22, 2020, 06:08:19 am »

Just a superb player. Play him with 2 of the front 3 and he will cause havoc.

PentaJ · « **Reply #502 on:** October 22, 2020, 06:15:39 am »

He has been a breath of fresh air ever since he joined. He is just so fast and direct. Teams will struggle playing against him once he gets few more through balls to run onto.

I think he’s earned a start, and Bobby’s not setting the world on fire right now.

FlashGordon · « **Reply #504 on:** October 22, 2020, 11:11:36 pm »

He's fucking rapid as well to go along with being a pest.

CraigDS · « **Reply #506 on:** October 23, 2020, 12:45:38 am »

He genuinely looks boss. Even though he’s mostly been a sub he’s come on and really shown it from the first minute.

Going to be 3 from 4 before the end of the season, rather then a 3 with some subs currently.

Suareznumber7 · « **Reply #507 on:** October 23, 2020, 12:53:13 am »

He's going to be our next 100m+ player. You can see he has everything to succeed under Klopp.

kasperoff · « **Reply #508 on:** October 23, 2020, 10:42:01 am »

He seems to have slotted in fairly seamlessly. There is a lot to be said for getting players who are already used to the pace of the league.

AndyMuller · « **Reply #509 on:** October 23, 2020, 10:49:28 am »

Yeah,exactly the kind of an attacker you hate when we play against,light footed aggressive dribbler and always on the move.

Djozer · « **Reply #511 on:** October 23, 2020, 11:44:55 am »

He doesn't seem particularly fast to me, but the acceleration's great which is maybe more important. I might be wrong, mind, and he's actually really quick when he's flat out, but I just don't see it. Looks really in any case, and I like the way he cuts in front of players if he gets past them.. No complaints about this signing at all, and can't wait to see more of him.

TheFlyingScouseman · « **Reply #512 on:** October 23, 2020, 12:14:55 pm »

This decade’s Maxi Rodriguez, but turbo powered, and hopefully consistent. Watch out Fulham.

He's really pushing for a starting spot.

Would love to see how a Jota - Mane - Salah front three go.

Honest question here, did you watch the last night against Ajax? My recollection is he won numerous footraces often starting behind his opponent. Also went on one or two long dribbles where his pace and power was a real asset.

I did watch it mate, aye. The only time I can recall noting Jota's pace/lack thereof was when he charged down the keeper, but couldn't beat the defender to the loose ball and I remember thinking, 'Mane would have got to that,' but maybe the camera angle was a bit deceptive and I'm doing Jota a disservice here. The dribble or two that I remember mostly seemed to be him being quick off the mark and, well, just being good at dribbling. I wasn't fully focused on the match mind, so probably missed a fair few moments.

Anyways, I'm not having a go at him here as I think he has looked great in his early showings and this is the first time since we've had The Front Three that I can remember us having a standin of near the same ability level, I'm just saying I don't see this pace some people see. Acceleration sure, but not the top speed as far as I can tell, which sort of chimes with what most Wolves fans seemed to be saying about him. That said, I could be dead wrong or I might just have shit eyes.

Oh I know you're not having a go at him or anything like that. I just think you might be pleasantly surprised over the course of the season by just how quick he is. I have been in the first few games as initially I thought like you he was just quick off the mark but I've been impressed with his speed over a distance in the few outings he's had.
