I love Mohamed Salah but Jurgen Klopp should not view him as untouchable player

Like most Liverpool fans, I am eagerly awaiting the return of Luis Diaz.

Diaz has been a big miss since getting injured at Arsenal back in October, highlighted by the way our season has gone in the months that have followed this game. The big question now, though, is where will he play in this current Liverpool team now that Cody Gakpo has become a regular starter?

We’ve got four players who can play at centre-forward: Gakpo, Firmino, Nunez and Jota. We’ve got three players who can play on the left, Nunez, Jota and Diaz, and not one of them has been tried on the right. That doesn’t make sense to me. Mo is Mo, but you should be able to take him out of the team when he is not playing well - which we don't. Even if he is injured or suspended, who is going to go on the right side? We haven’t seen anyone fill in there. We have plenty of options, but who is going to take his place if and when that happens?
