There's question marks over all the attack right now, but Diaz at least hasn't gone missing when we've needed him. Nor has he stepped up with the end product in the absence of goals from the others.
If Nunez was missing sitters but really lively and making things happen, he'd get a bit more leeway, although he'd be getting stick for not picking up the slack. His performances have gradually got worse though. Whether you're scoring goals or not, you've still got to show up, particularly in the business end of the season.
The Premier League has a Key match incidents panel that looks at decisions.
"ESPN can reveal that Premier League leaders Liverpool have been most affected in the 2023-24 campaign, with four VAR errors against them. Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers have each suffered three mistakes, with Arsenal two and eight other clubs on one each."
I am sure Yorky incompetence™ will say it is just a remarkable coincidence that those four clubs are managed by Klopp, De Zerbi, O'Neil and Arteta. Four managers who have had feuds with the PGMOL.
So his shite then?
Luis Diaz has a goal involvement every 186 minutes and is our player of the season because his the only one that has played good in the last month?
This is it for me. On paper he scores every 2 games. But in reality he regularly goes months without scoring in the league.
People will say do the cups not count - if they did count as much, Minamino and Origi would still be here.
It's unfortunate, as if Salah and Jota had stayed fit then he's under less pressure and probably carries on scoring/assisting (his numbers were fine at that point). But that's when we needed him to step up and his head went. He got that goal against Forest at the end which is exactly what we needed. That was 2 months ago though and he's scored one league goal since and one assist. And that goal was at home to Sheffield United. He also scored in the two Prague games, so basically he's only scored against the worst two teams we've played.
