In hindsight we should have kept Diaz another season and sold him next summer.. but the 70 million was too much to turn down.. we set our sights on Wirtz, knowing teams would sit deeper against us. But to me we've never been good with a number 10.. we've always played well with 3 strong midfielders. Its not easy breaking down teams when they sit just outside their box.. we ain't the only side to struggle against it.
Jurgen seem to have got it right with Bobby in the false 9 role he was good enough to control the game in the opposition half. To me if Wirzt is going to make it, he needs to play that role. hes further up the pitch and closer to goal. rather than trying to play in a formation and pass the ball. it's too slow and doesn't work. again most teams struggle against low blocks.

Bear with me for a second. Maybe, just maybe, teams in the PL figured that out for themselves? Perhaps someone out of all the managers, coaches and analysts thought it better to sit deep than leave space for pacy attackers to run in behind them.
The only way to hit teams on the break is to have them open up and attack. For that we either need to score the first goal or have a team come to Anfield and be prepared to attack us.
73% possession against the likes of Burnley is not that type of game.

But I guess we never lost a game under Jurgen and just blitzed everyone off the park with pure pace.
If we're going to rewrite history let's do it properly.

Clear as day Diaz forced through the move, he and his savvy agent know the game, and caused controversy round the time of Jotas funeral before moving on to Bayern.
We've seen it before with players, just a new low point in the business affairs of pro-ballers. I'm happy he's not here anymore.

Clear to who..? A one armed bandit? Face it you know nothing beyond the PR push for the minions. Diaz is on the record saying he wanted to stay and that he loved the club. But he wasn't going to sit their taking half the wages of Cody - I'm not in Diaz's class - Gakp... The Club KNEW he was the one to cash in on and they did.
Your baloney about his actions at the time of Jota's funeral fly in the face of the sentiment made uber clear by Jota's wife..

Funny we didn’t have a problem with it last season playing Jurgen’s way

Fact he wanted out to go barca for a start & all the dad noise....Originally Posted by Steveo
I didn't think he would stay around for long after that, but the fact we didn't replace him is criminal

I could tell you in great detail ways we opened those teams up but it’s wasted on you

His father was the one mouthing off about Barce in the main.
The fact is Diaz wanted to stay.. He ONLY left because Hughes and Edwards refused to get close to his desired salary.. Which was WAY below the clearly inferior Gakpo..
No surprises that CCTV who felt Gakpo outperformed Salah and Diazno really.. is trying to spin the BS..
