Former Manchester Metropolis and England defender Micah Richards has questioned one tactical choice by Liverpool supervisor Arne Slot since he took over as Reds boss in the summertime, with the pundit feeling Diogo Jota is just not at present being utilized in his greatest place.
The Portugal worldwide can play a wide range of attacking roles, having shone whether or not enjoying on both flank or as extra of a central striker, and it appears Slot favours him within the latter sort of position, with the previous Wolves man clearly forward of Darwin Nunez within the pecking order in the meanwhile.
Jota may nicely keep the place he’s in the intervening time, although, with Richards admitting that Luis Diaz is enjoying nicely on the left-hand aspect, whereas one additionally imagines that the proper flank will in fact be Mohamed Salah’s for so long as he desires it.

See under as Richards mentioned this tactical choice on The Relaxation Is Soccer podcast…
Jota will certainly get an opportunity to play in different positions sooner or later, as there’s no assure of Diaz staying match all season, whereas the Colombia worldwide can even certainly want a relaxation now and again.
That might maybe enable Slot to carry Nunez again into the beginning XI, and transfer Jota out onto the left-hand aspect, giving the Reds one thing a bit totally different in assault.
For now, nonetheless, it maybe appears a bit like nit-picking to drag aside Slot’s ways an excessive amount of as LFC have largely performed so nicely beneath the Dutch tactician, who took on the extraordinarily difficult job of changing a membership legend in Jurgen Klopp this summer season.
To this point, Liverpool look actually good beneath Slot and there isn’t actually any want to vary a profitable staff, is there?
