Jurgen Klopp is supremely confident that Liverpool’s attacking style will tease the best goalscoring instincts out of Luis Diaz and help replace the loss of Sadio Mane’s goals.
Colombia star Diaz has wowed the Kop since he arrived in January last season, becoming an instant cult hero with his dashing pace and courage to take on opponents.
Yet for all the impact he has made at Anfield since his £37m move from Porto, there is one statistic that is slightly less impressive than the rest…his return of six goals in 28 appearances. The apparent lack of goalscoring instinct seemed apparent at Fulham on the opening day of the season, when Diaz missed a couple of big chances, but Klopp countered.
