Liverpool fans will still be regretting the missed opportunity to maintain our lead at the top of the Premier League table and one pundit thinks another player could have made a difference.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Sue Smith said: “I just think Jota, the coolness and the calmness he has, it’s alright to say in hindsight but I just think if one of those chances had fallen for him – would he have put one in?”

It’s such a shame that our No.20 is so often spending extending periods of time on the treatment table and we certainly missed his killer instinct against Manchester United.

Let’s hope that this is our last blip of the campaign though and that we see Diogo Jota back on the pitch and scoring goals soon.
