I remember in my younger years watching David Fairclough for Liverpool, or ‘Supersub’ as he became known. When he was brought off the bench, you’d believe he was going to score. He was like an ace up their sleeve.
Diogo Jota joined Liverpool in the summer knowing he would not walk into this team. Jurgen Klopp’s front three seemed set in stone. But it is to Jota’s credit that he is now pushing for a place.
He has scored goal after goal and that puts everybody’s place in jeopardy — not just Roberto Firmino’s.
