Will Jota Work his Magic, or is it Time for Tinker Slot?…
Cody Gakpo seemed to have made a timely comeback, getting in gear for the big PSG face-off, only to hit a literal snag during training. Now our dear Arne Slot is scratching his head over which player will juice up the attack – enter Diogo “The Magician” Jota, who’s just a trick away from a goal, or so we hope!
In better news, Gakpo travelled with the team to Paris, but his direct involvement might just be a beautiful dream. Picture this: Luis Diaz flapping down the left wing, as Jota and Darwin Nunez tussle over who park’s the bus in the middle. Their recent form is hardly worth a victory parade—possibly better off watching the game from the nice, warm bench. Salah, thankfully, carries enough firepower to keep Liverpool from one-dimensional drama.
Meanwhile, Slot is considering bringing back his magical 4-2-2-2 recipe from the Manchester City triumph, where Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai played tag as false nines and it worked like a charm. The big question: Will Jota dazzle us in Paris, or will the backup dancers steal the show? Stay tuned, as Jota aims for a goal instead of chasing French pastries at Parc des Princes!
