The former player and legend of Manchester United, Gary Neville, He came out to criticize, without any restraint, the three footballers, among whom is Luis Diaz. In statements for Sky Spotssaid that they were not polished and 'lacked the category of the Egyptian'.
“Many of those players have left and returned to a transition period, like Cody Gakpo, Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz. They are not yet polished, they are not ready. They are not at the top of their careers like when you start making precise decisions,” explained the Englishman.
And he added: I didn't think that the Liverpool I would be in the race for the title and I still don't think they will achieve it. The doubt I have is due to these three players, but we know that Klopp is something different as a coach.”

But none of them seem to have the right balance on the right. Harvey Elliott Being left-footed, he could do it, but he's more of a midfielder. “Probably, he lacks the rhythm to play in that attacking trident, but maybe he can do it (…) The truth is that Salah's goals cannot be replaced.”
