Diogo Jota, the 26-year-old left-winger of Liverpool, is a versatile player with natural ability to play as a right winger and striker as well. He demonstrates a great knack for goal scoring, reflecting a remarkable goal efficiency and a stern goal threat. This suggests he is excellent in converting the opportunities that come his way and his role is significant in generating goals for the team. Coupled with a good capacity to create chances, it implies that he is direct in attack while also significantly contributing to assists.
However, Jota stumbles a bit when it comes to ball recovery and retention, often losing possession of the ball. His progressive carrying and progressive passing are areas that need improvement, suggesting he could work on forward movement with the ball and passing it ahead through the lines. His ability in one-vs-one defending is average and his effectiveness in the penalty area defending could be improved.
He also has a relatively low pass accuracy, indicating a need for better ball control and delivery. His touch rate is moderate–neither high nor low–suggesting a balanced approach to his playing style, but it also leaves room for enhancement. Overall, while Jota's defensive skills and ball control could be improved, his immense goal scoring prowess has proven to be a crucial asset for his team.
