Only thing missing was the goal tonight. Brilliant performance

Yep, couldn't ask for much more. Bodes very well if he's putting in a performance like that in his first start. Also, the fact Jurgen started him tonight speaks volumes about him.

As my Lad said. Dad we've found another one...

He's going to be a menace. An absolute menace.

Mister Flip Flop · « **Reply #563 on:** February 10, 2022, 09:54:29 pm »

He's going to tear up this league over the next few seasons. Has it all.

The future is bright. Succession has been planned really well. Diaz would be a monster for us.

Hedley Lamarr · « **Reply #565 on:** February 10, 2022, 09:55:59 pm »

Brilliant League debut. An absolute pain in the arse. Completely understand why we jumped in rather than let him join Spurs. Tailor made for us.

Every part of his game was great apart from not getting a goal but I was so impressed with how he was linking up and how well he moved the ball about from the first whistle. That surprised me. It shouldn't be that easy so new to the team.

we are going to have loads and loads of fun with this fella.

Not only did we choose the right player, he also chose the right club.

We've created a great platform for new signings to thrive in thanks to Jurgen and the coaching team. The transition when a quality player joins just looks seamless.

wige · « **Reply #570 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:05:38 pm »

Yep. That's about as good a full debut as you can get I reckon. Goal missing obviously, but looked very dangerous in a variety of ways.

Fitted in very, very quickly, genuinely looks like he's been here for months already. Absolute love how he was throwing himself into tackles and getting stuck in as well.

We now have five obvious options to use up front. The days of Ox being used as a third frontman are very much over

Such quick feet. This guy is gonna be boss for us.

Quick feet goals won't count.

Bucko - Dubai · « **Reply #573 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:07:21 pm »

Actually felt like he had secretly been training with us for the last 3 months

RedForeverTT · « **Reply #574 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:08:17 pm »

Perhaps the first time a player coming from a foreign league didn’t need bedding in. At least Salah has previous experience but Diaz just slotted in like he played for us for months.

I was surprised with how well he could keep pace with the game and could probably have finished the game quite comfortably.

That volley would have sting Schmeichel’s arms.

Max_powers · « **Reply #575 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:08:23 pm »

He is very Mane-like, strong, fast and unpredictable. I can absolutely see him scoring and creating loads for us.

royhendo · « **Reply #576 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:10:08 pm »

If he develops more confidence in his left foot he’s really onto something. Really exciting eh?

Xanderzone · « **Reply #577 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:10:17 pm »

Didn't look like a Premier League debutant.

Going to be a star.

dirkster · « **Reply #578 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:19:58 pm »

That's some signing we have here. No pre-season and hardly any training with the first team, but he looks like he belongs. Enjoy the ride, it's going to be fun

AndyMuller · « **Reply #579 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:20:59 pm »

The type of player to get you off your seat eh?

stockdam · « **Reply #580 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:22:51 pm »

One of the best debuts I have seen. He was quick, made some good runs and got stuck in.
I think he may pick up some yellows though as he doesn’t back out of tackles. Brilliant.

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #581 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:25:38 pm »

Fits like a glove, he is going to be a brilliant piece of business for us.

didi shamone · « **Reply #583 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:26:36 pm »

Knew he had the class with the ball but his overall workrate was what impressed me most. Didn't look like he was doing it to impress, it just looks like its his natural game in the same way as Mane.

jooneyisdagod · « **Reply #584 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:29:36 pm »

He's a great fit. You can absolutely tell why we made him our priority. I read in one of the articles that the view was that he was already a well-developed player but with enough rawness in him for Jurgen to help him take a step or two. I think we saw exactly that. He just oozes quality but there was a couple of moments that with a bit more game time and adjustment into the team, he will probably be more incisive. Anyway, I'm nitpicking. That was a super fun debut. He really looks like a class player.

Morgana · « **Reply #585 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:29:45 pm »

What a player. Am almost glad he didn't score tonight. Let's save it for City.

Jürgen Klopp on Luis Diaz's PL debut: "He looks like a Liverpool player, that's true."

That's the one "critique" from a lot of watchers it seems from his time in Portugal. He's a reverse Robben.

£50m was it? Absolute bloody bargain.

Ghost Town · « **Reply #589 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:35:08 pm »

At times he seemed to be thinking and moving and positioning himself much faster than the others around him. He'll soon learn to slow down and pass it back

£37.5m. It's only £50m if he wins everything with us. So yeah, £50m.

TBF, the rest of the team isn't as Prem-proven as him, so they'll need time to get used to the league.

Looks like Mane did when he first arrived.

I think we need to lock this thread or else Levy would be complaining us.

Wingman · « **Reply #595 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:45:28 pm »

Wasn’t that long ago you’d be worried to be starting a match without Bobby, Mane or Mo. With this lad and Jota, two of them can take the night off occasionally

Lynndenberries · « **Reply #596 on:** February 10, 2022, 10:46:03 pm »

Fits this team perfectly. The chemistry between him and Robertson already was great to see.

Top player. Suits us perfectly. I was surprised how well he linked up with Robbo, considering they only had a couple of trainings together ...
