Topic: Diogo Jota (Diogo José Teixeira da Silva)

[KirkVanHouten]

So glad he's back, he's probably our most clinical in front of goal. We've missed that this season.

[nerdster4]

Will probably start against Madrid .

[tubby]

Gets in such good positions, great to have him back.

[Dim Glas]

He should have got at least 1 today! But it’s great to see him back, makes such a difference having that option now. He’s a pest.

[shank94]

That's the Jota I remember, prime cameo. 

[Sheer Magnetism]

Looked extremely rusty in front of goal. If the other forwards stay fit it's going to be a while before he starts regularly on this evidence.

[DelTrotter]

Awesome to have him back and seeing him so involved, missed chances happen, more encouraging he gets them!

Not a good night for the "he'll score all the ones Nunez misses" lot though 

[Schmidt]

Great to see him back and showing some sharpness, should be first choice as soon as he's ready.

[Samie]

Great to see him back and showing some sharpness, should be first choice as soon as he's ready.

Is Luis Diaz a joke to you? 

[Tobelius]

Still has that uncanny knack of ghosting into the right position to score,the sharpness will hopefully come in the coming weeks so he can help us finish strong.

not really with Diaz coming back & Nunez playing very well

[Schmidt]

Is Luis Diaz a joke to you? 

No but last I checked he's not even close to ready yet?

[mickeydocs]

Still has that uncanny knack of ghosting into the right position to score,the sharpness will hopefully come in the coming weeks so he can help us finish strong.

Only a matter of time before he goes on a scoring streak. Such a great option to have, an absolute live wire.

[didi shamone]

Miles off the pace against the bitters but much closer today. He'll be a monster again shortly. We'll need him if Darwin is out.

[number 168]

Looked extremely rusty in front of goal. If the other forwards stay fit it's going to be a while before he starts regularly on this evidence.

He also looked a rather angry with himself at the end and was being talked to by Milner offering a bit of support. Great to see players wanting to do more and annoyed with themselves even when we win. Great attitude.

[farawayred]

Coming back right on cue. Still rusty, but that's to be expected after being out for so long. But I have a sneaky feeling that he could win us the game against Real.

[afc tukrish]

Is Luis Diaz a joke to you? 

Giggling a bit at the muzzy, but, no, not really...

[Corrie Nick]

If he’s scored that header that just drifted wide it would have been incredible.

[FlashGordon]

If he’s scored that header that just drifted wide it would have been incredible.

Would've been Jared Borgetti 2002 World Cup vibes.

[DelTrotter]

Hopefully he's got 55mins or an hour in his legs to start in midweek if Darwin is out.

[Bread]

Should score the first header but I'll forgive him since I've missed him.

[Draex]

I forgot how bloody good he is at making space in the box, he will always find a way to get into position to get a chance.. He's such a good player.

[newterp]

please get match fit asap

[Bread]

What a lovely, lovely 2nd half from Mr. Jota. Excellent driving run for the disallowed goal, and then a beautiful ball to Van Dijk for the opener.

[didi shamone]

Almost back to his snide sublime best.

[tubby]

Getting his legs back, and the quick thinking and technique on Virgil's goal needs a mention.

[RyanBabel19]

Welcome back!!!

Class second half and looked a bit more fired up and fearless which is when he's at his best. Just needs a goal now

[Tobelius]

Always a danger in the box and had some massive afterburners on for that beautiful GOAL run.

[gerrardisgod]

One of the best around when he’s picking it up on the half turn, relatively deep and just being direct as fuck.

[duvva 💅]

Really good to have Diogo available from the start again. Really hope he scores soon as I think it may be like a damn breaking. But he’s always dangerous and liable to create things and cause problems even if not banging them in

[SamLad]

christ, we've missed him.

[kavah]

Good to see him isn't it, he's been a big loss

[Bobinhood]

Yeah his overall hustle really spruced things up. Great shift really glad to see that! Just plain refused to lose.

[newterp]

Save us Diogo

[AmanShah21]

Pressing monster indeed. Missed him scampering and hurrying defenders into mistakes. Such an underrated players. He's been so on/off due to injuries that its almost forgotten how bright he was before that, especially during AFCON last year. So good to see him back. Need him to get a goal against the Mancs now.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Diogo Maradona

[na fir dearg]

signs he's getting back to his best

[meady1981]

Good to see him isn't it, he's been a big loss

Him and Diaz have been the difference to us not being comfortably fourth

[Jookie]

Great to see him back. Think he's vital for how we play.

However he could do with a goal. Last time he scored was 10th April 2022 (versus City). Think it's over 20 odd appearances without a goal and nearly 11 months without a club goal.

Sure it'll come soon and think we'll see his play jump again if he gets that boost of confidence from breaking his goal drought.

[CS111]

Him and Diaz have been the difference to us not being comfortably fourth

I posted it a few weeks ago. Get him, Darwin firing and possibly even more importantly Diaz back and we will be a different team.
Mix that with a world class midfield and next season we should be back
