"There were sections of Bayern fans that questioned the Colombian's 70-million euro price tag when he was bought from Liverpool over the summer, but it's quite difficult to argue against the blistering start he's had to life with the reigning Bundesliga champions - and this is without the presence of Jamal Musiala in attack, who will not be making his return from injury until sometime next month."

Hugo Ekitike's second yellow for removing his shirt after scoring the winner against Southampton, of all clubs, in the Carabao Cup just about set the tone for the manner in which Liverpool would lose their next three matches; negative football, missed chances, and defensive lapses in concentration."
"Luis Díaz is a massive miss for me. When you look at Liverpool last year and how they used to press, I think arguably he was the one who would set the press in the front three.
