Diogo Jota can hit more than just the back of the net. Ask Joe Gomez.
The Liverpool striker is in remarkable form lately, having scored six goals in his last four matches in all competitions, including a hat-trick at Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Jota’s form has prompted many people to ask Jurgen Klopp to replace him over Roberto Firmino on Sunday’s trip to Manchester City, a move that would be considered highly symbolic given the status of Liverpool’s three forwards in recent years. three seasons.
And the former Wolves man certainly looked eager to impress at a Melwood training session Thursday.
Maybe a little too enthusiastic.
As the Liverpool players performed a fast-paced round, Andy Robertson excitedly passes the ball through Gomez and James Milner to Jota, who then kicks it … straight into Gomez’s nether regions.

The defender falls to the ground and doesn’t get too much sympathy from his laughing teammates, including giggling Trent Alexander-Arnold and Sadio Mane, before he finally stands up and checks to see if everything is still working.
Jota looks a bit embarrassed and goes over to central defender, but luckily any serious injury was avoided.
One man who has no doubt that Jota should start over Firmino at City is Arsenal legend Ian Wright.

“Yes, I would [start Jota]”Said Wright Premier League Productions .
“Bobby Firmino’s form in terms of goals is something Liverpool need to address.
“He needs all three of them to do it and right now all three can do it. He would probably play it, yeah.

“When they signed Jota, it didn’t make you think ‘What are they buying him for?’
“You just said, ‘Ah, I get it. I can see that’.
“Looking at him in the last three games, you can see that he’s someone who’s really going to kick there. He’s really going to kick.”
