Nunez haters need to understand this: he will keep missing chances until he starts scoring them. No other striker generates as many chances as he does per game, the day he stops generating chances is the day I give up on him.

Gakpo slander shouldn’t be tolerated. He literally hasn’t had any stability wrt team dynamics & he’s been played out of position more than any of our attackers, 11 goals 4 assists is a more than good enough return for a striker who’s been used mostly for versatility reasons.

Klopp moving Diaz back to LB worked a treat, the subtle difference being he was able to consistently receive and attack the last line from deep, he had a dynamic advantage going into his 1v1 situations which allowed him to be more effective.
