How much are Liverpool missing Diaz?
- Published
Chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions on all things Premier League.
Oliver asked : A lot of Liverpool's woes have been placed on the defensive side, but do you think Liverpool losing Luis Diaz and having no direct replacement for the left wing is being understated?
Phil answered: Liverpool are struggling as new signings try to settle in and head coach Arne Slot attempts to find a balance in his team, but you are right. They are missing the urgency, direct approach and the goals of Diaz.
He had a superb season when they won the title, but in Liverpool's defence, it was Diaz who seemed determined to leave for Bayern Munich rather than being pushed out the door.
