Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders is a huge admirer of versatile attacker Diogo Jota.
The Portuguese was a pivotal influence for the Reds in a 4-0 win over Bournemouth at the weekend, scoring twice.
Jota has been filling the goalscoring shoes vacated temporarily by Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah.
On Jota's contributions, Lijnders told reporters: I never judge them only on that [goals] but yes it is really important Darwin [Nunez] as well, by the way. That's the sign of a good squad, that's the sign of the character and passion and ambition of the players we have, all of them.
Jota is a player who when he's in this angry mood, when he's in this mood where he wants to run against the world, where he wants to decide, he can do things which are incredible.
We have to get him in that mood as often as possible, but we are really happy with him, Darwin, Lucho [Luis Diaz], Harvey [Elliott], Cody [Gakpo], how they all step up in different moments. It's never that you can just rely [on one].
It was the same with Bobby [Firmino], Mo and Sadio [Mane]. When Mo didn't play well, Bobby played well. If Sadio and Mo didn't, Bobby was the one. If Sadio was not creating, Mo would score the goals. What I'm trying to say is that when you are drilled, if you are trained, if they are all committed, if they are confident, these things happen."
