We should be looking for a buyer for Jota. His injury record is unacceptable for a top club.
One of the things I really hope leaves with Klopp is our APPALLING injury record and inability to improve it. Beyond the impact on our performances, it’s just irritating that “professional” players can’t stay fit. p.

Jota puts his body on the line gives every last drip but pays for it by getting injured frequently.

Fantastic goalscorer but the bloke is made of quavers. So frustrating.

Getting silly now, always injured and a waste of wages if you ask me. I like the lad, when fit he knows where the goal is but come on, he can't keep at a club like Liverpool constantly (or almost) injured, it's stupid. I agree with you Lowe, it is irritating.

Blimey, it's two weeks!
We've Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo and Danns. Everton will be without Beto, surely and DCL, probably ? so let's not get too despondent about the Derby.
I was relieved to see Beto give the thumbs up on Sunday because it was very worrying at one point.
{Ed025's Note - im glad Beto is ok as well Rigsby, but it would be more worrying for me if he played mate...i think hes terrible..

Where's all the money coming from to replace all these players people want shot of? if they are injury prone then we'll not get a big transfer fee for them. So far it's Matip and Thiago, added to those is Tsimi, Jota, Grav, Salah, Nunez, today Jones as he's injury prone and Diaz coz his father is always mouthing off. Gako is being given a stay of execution after having a couple of good games so his head is currently not on the block.
Considering one of the Ed's today said that we might not be willing to pay Amorim and his staffs release clauses it's looking like money is tight again so hard to see how we afford to replace the above.

Players get injured and I’m sure it’s frustrating for Jota as much is it is for us fans. But the guy is injured every season.
And saying he is our most clinical striker is all well and good but what good is that when he is not available? I would and expect he will be sold in the summer. One, to raise funds and two to bring in someone who not injury prone.
Btw, here is his injury record stretching back to the 18/ 19 season. I would add the fact that he joined us in 20/ 21, so the previous two campaigns below are from his days at Wolves.
23/ 24 - Knee collateral - 51 days
23/ 24 - Muscle injury - 28 days
22/ 23 - Calf injury - 116 days
22/ 23 - Hamstring injury - 31 days
21/ 22 - Ankle injury - 14 days
20/ 21 - Foot injury - 11 days
20/ 21 - Knee bruise - 84 days
19/ 20 - Calf injury - 21 days
19/ 20 - Ankle injury - 28 days
18/ 19 - Bruise - 25 days
18/ 19 - Hamstring injury - 32.
{Ed001's Note - I do wonder how much of a part his long hours playing videogames has to play (sorry bad pun) in his injury problems. It is not good to be sat still for hours on end.}

I'm a big fan of Jota but his injury record is extremely concerning.
Its no good really what a player brings to the table if they're only coming to that table half the time you want them there.
I gave Nunez a bit of stick (in SF eyes was a hammering) yesterday but one of his big positives is more often than not he's available for selection.

Ed025, I know what you mean. Beto is a big lad but apart from that I'm struggling to see what he offers.
Why is everyone so convinced that Salah is leaving? I'd be tempted to sell if a big offer comes from the Saudi league but would he want to go there and give up CL football?
I'd be disappointed in him if he did.
{Ed025's Note - i struggle as well Rigsby, a very slow battering ram is how i would describe him mate..

The best ability is availability.

@MCG
Don’t know mate. Some posters are convinced we are signing that striker from Sporting who is valued at £70 mill plus replacement lined for Jota, Nunez. Diaz, Salah and what more ??????
People have short memories. This club works on Sell to buy.

You need a long memory to qualify when we last sold to buy.

Ed01, that simply means he is not getting enuff sleep nor enuff rest hence, his ability to recover is severely subdued, if your premise is true.
