Not sure it's a simple Jota or Firmino call. More a case of who is right for each match. If we need high pressing and holding up the ball then Firmi every time and he has been consistent with this even as his goalscoring form has dropped. If we want more penetration and threat then Jota.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s not been doing any of that though!
The balls bouncing of him left right and centre!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But I don't like Salah at 9. He does his best work on the right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree with this. Think Mane is actually the better 9, which could work with Jota out wide.

Confirmed that elite sport will continue through lockdown.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you shut the Football & premier league Down now, 60% of lower league clubs would go bust!

Its not just that, Its the psychology of seeing something normal, and of being entertained.
These things are being done to try and help prevent the psychological burden of the first, For the same reason they will probably still allow lone adult households to join another homes bubble

Firmino isn’t doing it!

Yeah Mane actually played it well when Salah went off. Held the ball and the ball glues to his chest

Lockdown is safer for football.
When it resumed the positive test were minimal, they’ve increased when we’ve been out of lockdown!

——
Agree with this it’s not benefitting Firmino making him undroppable and it’s never been good for any club to do that. Jota deserves to be a starter. Mane up top for me.

Shaq is a much bench attacking option than Minamino, Origi or anyone else. Very few players have that quality of pass he showed tonight, also showed the same against Midgetland.
Jota is class and deserves to be starting in place of Firmino now.
