But in the end Liverpool defeated the Hammers 2-0. Premier Leagueand Alexander Isaac and Cody Agathe Seizing a much-needed three points for the struggling Redskins.

Still, the Merseyside side have left much to be desired this season, lacking the balance and conviction of last year as Slott was crowned king in his first year in charge.

Much has gone wrong and upcoming league games against Sunderland and Leeds will determine whether a real crisis has been averted.

More needs to be done. like Florian Wirtz and Isak are starting to show signs of world-class quality, but FSG must be deeply regretting their decision to sell Luis Diaz and chose not to seek a similar replacement for the Colombian winger.

How Luis Diaz has fared since leaving Liverpool

To be fair, Diaz will be entering the penultimate year of his Liverpool contract but there is no sign of a resolution yet. The Reds made £66.5m.

However, the 28-year-old’s outstanding performances in Germany this season have highlighted Slott’s lack of presence on the left. Also, let’s not forget that Diaz played a lot of football as a makeshift nine last year.

Bayern scores a lot of goals and they dominate the Bundesliga. However, Diaz is fair in his selection and has produced some outstanding performances in the Champions League.

His prolific nature has catapulted him into a berth at the highest level, combining his athleticism and power with a newfound sharpness in front of goal.

It’s a reminder that the grass isn’t always greener. Diaz will have no regrets about his summer move, but Liverpool sorely miss his pace, energy and potent threat.

Now, FSG is in danger of losing the next generation of versatile forwards.

Liverpool star could be ‘next Diaz’

Liverpool opted not to replace Diaz directly this summer, hoping to clear Leo Ngumoha’s path to the first team.

Few know the secrets of the midfield game like Mac Allister, whose performance in the engine room is full of fight, creativity and brains. Not only was he a steely lieutenant, he was also smart and shrewd, which set him apart from the rest.

As the old adage goes, form is temporary. Mike Allister will surely bounce back, but if Liverpool have a rocky road to the 2025/26 season, the 26-year-old could be considered for sale next summer. Although reports indicate Sporting director Richard Hughes and club officials want him to stay put.

It’s obvious: if McAllister were sold to a superpower in Germany or La Liga, he would thrive.

Liverpool, like Diaz, will regret their decision as they scramble to find a suitable replacement.
