Jamie Carragher has heaped praise on Diogo Jota and boldly claimed the forward is the best finisher Liverpool have had over the last few decades.
Jota bagged a brace and an assist as Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-0 on Sunday, a result that moves the Reds five points clear at the top of the Premier League.
After a difficult first-half, Jurgen Klopp tweaked his tactics, which included moving Jota from the centre-forward role over the right-wing position usually occupied by Mohamed Salah who is away at AFCON.
Carragher praised that decision and urged the Liverpool manager to stck with it going forward, saying on Sky Sports: ‘Jurgen Klopp has said how clever a player he [Jota] is.
‘He can play on the left, through the middle and the right. Liverpool are still trying to work out who is going to play that role [through the middle] even though they’re winning games, without Salah.
‘They’ve had [Luis] Diaz there, Jota, Harvey Elliot [on the right]. Maybe it’s now Jota’s position.
Carragher went even further however, suggesting that the Portugal international might be one of the best finishers in Liverpool’s history, ranking him above some of their most prolific players.
