Luis Diaz has been one of Europe’s form players since joining Bayern Munich last summer, and it has led to plenty of questions about Liverpool’s decision to sell. You have Gakpo, and you’re getting offered what?

I’m thinking now, Diaz doing what he’s doing not just for Liverpool last year but what he’s doing for Bayern, but at the time it seemed like a very sensible and great business deal to get 70 million for a 29-year-old when you already have Gakpo, and then you bring in Wirtz and Isak. But Nicol thinks he should have been given that responsibility already.

He remarks: “I would have done it before today’s game. That’s what I would have done.” It feels obvious that Ngumoha isn’t going to be starting against Galatasaray — one of the most hostile atmospheres in Europe.
