    I don’t think it was greedy to be honest. It wasn’t a simple lay off for a tap in, there were defenders there. He did what he thought was best and was only denied by a goal line clearance. He probably should square it but I don’t think it was done out of greed at all.

    Anyway, thought he was absolutely brilliant again. You can tell he’s still not quite there physically but he’s just a constant threat. Defenders have no clue if he’s going left or right and his deliveries on both feet were on the money. Put in so many dangerous balls on his weaker left side.

    The best is yet to come from him I believe which is a scary prospect. Going to be an absolute menace next season.

    Gonna stick my neck out and disagree with the pass. I honestly don't think Kuhn made a great angle and was just as likely to have his shot blocked/saved. Easy to say he should have passed after what happened.

    Everybody would've been raving about Jota had Bushiri not made a good goal line clearance.

    Both Khun and Maeda made really poor moves for the pass

    Kuhn was in a good position imo. The issue is I don't know if he would have hit it first time as that's all the time he would have had, if Jota had passed. Not sure if I've seen him hit many first time shots.

    Nobody made the right angle for him for the lay off. Thought he was class when he came on and a constant threat. Direct, tricky, quick , dangerous. Still think he's our best winger.

    Small margins.

    Goal line clearance away from another moment of genius.

    Tbh if he had laid it off to Kuhn, he wpuld probably have started his slalom run and ran out of space.
