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?

The number of options Klopp now has in attack is a good problem to have, particularly as we're short in other areas We've had more injuries than any other club by a mile this season, for whatever reason. I’m sure they have tried to work out what that is the case. Can that just be coincidental? I don’t know. It is strange that we seem to get them more than everyone else.
Conte exit likely to boost Tottenham's top-four bid
Tottenham hadn't been doing that well under Antonio Conte prior to his departure on Sunday, let’s be honest. It looked like he wanted a way out and he has forced that himself through his comments about the club.
Personally, I think it can only be good for them as it had become a bit toxic. The players won’t have felt very good after what he said about them, so some of them may be boosted by this news. It should help them in the top-four race, but we will have to wait and see. All we can do is beat them at Anfield when we play them next month.
