looks like playing jota has back fired. love klopp but this has to be the worst decision he has made It was just bad luck Jota getting injured, he hasn't overplayed, could have happened in training, like Alisson & TAA were injured. Jota has not played that much, he didn't play for Wolves after lockdown and has done a few games from the bench for us, he is also integrating Jota into our team/system, so I can understand why he played him, I was more surprised at risking Salah & Fab etc, as they have nothing to learn. Yeah, Jota's injury was a knock wasn't it? You can't just not play people because of fear of injury, injury is part of sport unfortunately. Yeah, I think he got a knock from a tackle, so that can happen just as easily in training, that's what put Alisson & TAA out earlier this season from training. It is probably one of the risks of Klopp's system, he has made it clear that the players that do well in training, get to play, so it is a level playing field, so you cannot hold back too much in training as a player, as it means you may not play, especially for the squad players who are trying to prove themselves to Klopp to start. Don't think Jota was injured in training, it was the game in Denmark and he has to start in such games, otherwise he will rust

Jota is new to the team, so needs to get used to how we play, so the CL game was a good game to play him, was just unlucky he got injured in a tackle.

All injuries can happen in training can't they? The thing is, training can't be avoided so that's fine. Playing a game against an opponent that may not be as careful/decent with a tackle in a match situation was a risk that could have been avoided.
I'm not sure Jota needs to get used to how we play either. He hit the ground running and was already very effective. Seemed to have settled into our way of playing very naturally and quickly.
It's history now. Let's see if he'll be back for the big games we have in Jan. In the meantime, we need to do the usual boring thing of focussing on just the next game with the players we have and bag a few results hopefully.
