Liverpool crashed against a 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United in the English League Cup final.
Dan Burn and Alexander Isak’s goals kept Newcastle in the driving seat throughout the game. Substitute Federico Chiesa gave Liverpool a shin of hope in an added time with a well -taken goal.
However, Liverpool was completely exceeded, prominent and thought during the game and Newcastle was the well -deserved winners.
Today there were several disappointing performances for Liverpool on the pitch, but the Portuguese International Diogo Jota is still disappointed. His performance in the final could have been sealed to the club.
Diogo Jota put on a poor show
The 28 -year -old failed to produce a single shot at the destination during its 57 minutes on the pitch. In addition, I had only 16 touches of the ball at that time. Jota made a horror program against Newcastle and is the time Liverpool got rid of mediocre players like him and provides a reliable striker who can constantly influence the game in the final third.
Not only has he disappointed with his general performance, he seems to have lost its sharpness in front of the goal.
It would be ideal for Liverpool to move During the summer transfer window and invest in a clinical goals scorer. They seemed without teeth in the attack in recent weeks and Jota has failed to act despite the many opportunities.
It will be interesting to see if the 28 -year -old can find a new club for him in the summer.
Reds require significant surgery to the attack unit if they want to bounce strongly. With Mohamed Salah who is likely to continue as a free agent in summer, Liverpool’s task of rebuilding the attacking unit could not be more difficult. It remains to be seen if they can be melted from dead wood and providing highest quality replacements.
