Slots Summer Squad Rebuild 2025/26

[CCTV]

Diaz was at his best by far pre injury in his first half a season when he joined. He was so good in fact that he displaced Sadio Mane out wide - who got shifted to the center. 2023/24 was always going to be tough with both parents being kidnapped. Kinda shifts your focus a little. But I guess some cherry picked stats over 2 seasons can tell us that

This season both he and Gakpo competing for a place has been very healthy for both.

Lose Diaz and we have a problem. This is the point for those without an agenda

I wouldn't be selling any of our attackers now, losing Jota to tragedy enough of a turnover.
For me each of our attackers get a rough time of it on here.

It's funny how ye seem so upset at having stats and facts provided. 2 years of goals & assists all comps.
Cherry picked stats

Here's our current lot, Jota RIP, Bobby & Mane's Goal-or-assist per minute career stats at LFC...

Salah 91.3 minutes

Darwin 112.6
Jota 112.9
Chiesa 116.5

Mane 130.1
Gakpo 130.6
Firmino 134.7

Diaz 156.3

As said Diaz improved his key attacking stats under Slot, even moreso than Gakpo under Slot.

In Diaz's 1st half season, he produced a goal or assist per 153.8 minutes.
Essentially his career rate at LFC.
In 22/23 he produced a goal or assist per 169.6 minutes.
23/24 his worst season for goals & assists per minute.
24/25 his best at LFC to date for end product.

"Upset" . Really? . I really don't think it's worth getting upset over what you think mon ami. But will call out a bullshit narrative when I see one. Comparing Diaz stats from last season with this and Gakpo's - Diaz's issues were obvious for any genuine fan of the club...Gakpo was utter garbage in 2023/24 btw I saw him 3 times in the flesh and he was comfortably our weakest player on the pitch. He was certainly way way better this season. Was it Arne? Who knows - possibly a fellow countryman helped him OR perhaps he just realised he HAD to improve big time or he was out.

What's laughable is your feable understanding of the game. Suggesting Diaz was better last season than he was in his first season - is in the ball park of Gakpo was better than Mo this season.

Give it up fellaaaaah putting it politely - you're a busted flush.

That was a general statement about ye, you, Miller, Kev0 & Justme

"Suggesting Diaz was better last season than he was in his first season - is in the ball park of Gakpo was better than Mo this season."

Diaz
24/25 Goal-or-assist per 133.4 minutes (best)
23/24 Goal-or-assist per 180.8 minutes (worst)
22/23 Goal or assist per 169.6 minutes.
21/22 Goal or assist per 153.8 minutes

Gakpo had a better goals per minute record than Salah in the 24/25 season from open play.

Meaning this season, 24/25, per 90 minutes Gakpo is expected to outscore Mo from open play.

The records suggest it is Diaz whose found his footing moreso under Slot than Gakpo.

yep and these are the only markers. We all know Diaz was a different player before his double injury. Word porridge might cut the mustard for you but it doesn’t pas the smell test my friend.

First game new country new club….

And the half season - he was our biggest threat - not second but first - word porridge or not

[CCTV]

If we lose Diaz we could suffer. As mentioned a few times - he was clearly our biggest threat outside Salah last term and at times our biggest. He makes things happen. Gakpo who isn’t at Diaz’s level got a shot in the arm with a new Dutch coach but still had to perform to get any minutes, Lose Diaz and Gakpo’s level drops too.

I think he could go - if he does we will need a very very good replacement

Both improved under Slot in terms of end product.
Diaz improving more than Gakpo under Slot in 24/25.
This season Diaz reached a level of end product produced by Gakpo last year.
Gakpo improved again on his end product compared with last year.

Gakpo

24/25
Goals 18
Assists 7
Minutes 2,696
Goal-or-assist per 107.8 minutes

23/24
Goals 16
Assists 7
Minutes 3,017
Goal-or-assist per 131.2 minutes

Diaz
24/25
Goals 17
Assists 8
Minutes 3,336
Goal-or-assist per 133.4 minutes

23/24
Goals 13
Assists 7
Minutes 3,615
Goal-or-assist per 180.8 minutes

You're funny.

You made a statement about Diaz & Gakpo this summer.

This was replied to with some basic stats & analysis. Goals & assists, Gakpo outperforming Diaz this year and last year. Diaz's end product improving moreso under Slot than Gakpo.

Instead of replying on topic, you seem to want to talk about Diaz's 1st half season. Which has little relevance to the matter at hand.

Gakpo who isn’t at Diaz’s level got a shot in the arm with a new Dutch coach but still had to perform to get any minutes, Lose Diaz and Gakpo’s level drops too.
