Recent weeks have seen the likes of Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah struggle, while for all Luis Diaz’s endeavours, he’s hardly been prolific either.

However, one plus for the Reds has been the return of Portuguese forward, Diogo Jota.



And speaking about Jota for BBC Five Live last night, former West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker claimed the Liverpool man simply doesn’t get enough credit.

Speaking on Five Live about Liverpool’s squad, Reo-Coker admitted he feels like Jota is overlooked for just how good he is.

“I think the player for me who we haven’t mentioned who I think is a big loss to them just because of lack of availability is Jota.

“I think Jota is a very special player that doesn’t really get the credit that he deserves as well.

Jota has been so important,” Reo-Coker said.

In terms of being a pure finisher who can get the goals you need in a title race, Diogo Jota is the man for Liverpool.

It’s a bit of a shame he hasn’t been fit a bit longer, given Nunez’s struggles when it’s mattered.

Jota, as mentioned by Reo-Coker, has an impact on the team like Bobby Firmino did and that is a massive compliement.

As it stands, Jota is the man over Nunez at Anfield and Liverpool fans will be hoping the chances drop to him, and not Nunez, against the Hammers today.
