Diaz is a fantastic player, but also a bit overrated because of what you mention. He is an amazing dribbler but ultimately doesn't do much with it. I mean he is still massive asset to have and wouldn't think twice about having him here but some of the praise he has received is a bit over the top.Diaz is a fantastic player, I do really rate him.
But at the same time, hes not yet shown to be able to rack up the numbers Mane and Salah had done.
That's probably premature of me to say, as he's only been there 5 mins. But I do think it highlights the need for someone other than Salah to step up because in these last couple of months their frontline has flagged a little.
It's still scoring but probably not at the free flowing rate it had been.
Mane and Salah didn't look like scoring tonight, neither did they versus us a few weeks ago and Diaz's whilst being brilliant, hasn't really picked up that mantel.
