"The Reds were superb as they won the Premier League title last season, with Diaz playing a key part as he scored 13 league goals in 36 appearances. Surprisingly, Diaz was allowed to leave Liverpool for Bayern for just 65m, while the Merseyside giants splashed the cash on new attacking players who just haven't clicked at all. See below as Diaz is now on ten goals in all competitions this season, more than Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak, and Florian Wirtz combined"
"Ekitike has started well for LFC since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt, but so far the huge sums of money spent on Isak and Wirtz has looked like a colossal waste. Isak has not been fully fit and has just one goal to his name, while Wirtz is yet to score at all. These are players that cost 125m and 113m, respectively."
"Although Arne Slot's side are back to winning ways with two victories on the bounce against Aston Villa and Real Madrid, there have been major concerns all over the pitch this season. Not only is Diaz out-scoring Liverpool's new attackers, but he also has more than Mohamed Salah (5) and Cody Gakpo (4) so far, with those two under-performing in comparison to what we saw from them last season."
Luis Díaz left Liverpool for Bayern Munich for around £65m and has scored ten goals in all competitions this season. Liverpool reinvested heavily, spending roughly £300m on attackers including Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, but the new signings have under-delivered overall. Ekitike has shown promise, Isak has struggled with fitness and scored once, and Wirtz remains goalless despite large fees of £125m and £113m respectively. Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo have also produced fewer goals than expected. Liverpool have two recent wins under Arne Slot but persistent concerns remain across the squad.
