Well, Jota can be on the bench, look where he might fit in, come on and make a difference when the opportunity comes and then do exactly that, it's called football intelligence, something Origi seems to have precious little of.
One of the reasons I was reticent about bringing Jota in instead of Bobby is that issues elsewhere were affecting our forwards and play in general, Bobby has peaks and troughs and has always got out of the troughs by being played through them and having a player like Jota on the bench who can and will come on and make a huge difference is something we've been desperately short of for a really long fucking time and it is an absolutely priceless thing to have, so when he did have supersub appearances, I wasn't in any rush to changes that, that was my reasoning
I really REALLY hope Origi has on of his exceptionally rare blinders in which he makes an impact today
