At the beginning of the season I was hopeful that this might be the season that Jairo makes the breakthrough with there being more emphasis on passing through the midfield under Vieira.
Sadly the defensive deficiencies in Jairo’s game make this unlikely.
He doesn’t seem any further forward in this regard than when he made that rocky debut v Huddersfield.
You can’t afford the luxury of a player who doesn’t do the basics correctly I.e not leaving your man when marking, not turning your back when an opponent is taking a shot and not going to sleep at crucial moments which can change matches.
He doesn’t seem have improved in these areas notwithstanding his other attributes.

no guaita was at fault for the 3rd he should have caught that , jairo done what most people do when a volleys coming protect the face, and he got caught ball watching for 2nd, but has they said we should have pulled a player out from the middle to stop salah run

Nothing wrong with his punch, it was what happened with our defending after that also it was a perfectly placed shot not a lot of those sort of attempts do that.

Will he ever learn?

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

As i said thought Hughes should have come on, but people tend to over look anything that players do well, Guaita is very good shot stopper but poor at crosses he should have caught that, Jairo lost Salah but so did Jimmy for the first, so at the end of the day we lost playing well but not well enough at both ends

In fairness, Mane and Salah are fantastic players. They must be a nightmare to mark and could peel away like that against some of the world's best players.

From the highlights only, we had a couple of good chances and it looked like Benteke was tripped. You need the rub of the green against Liverpool, yesterday we didn't get it. At least we posed a threat and didn't get ripped apart in open play.
