Are We A Better Team Without Jota In The Starting XI

On the evidence of the last 2 games against the last 10, I would say yes, albeit an expensive last 15-20 minutes impact sub when needed, but for the foreseeable future and our current position. The bench is the best place for Jota to be.

We have looked a more organised team/unit, and for all his undoubted natural skill, he doesn't fit our current needs or set up and certainly at the moment we have looked a better team from the first whistle, without him.
