IT'S GOING FROM BAD TO WIRTZ FOR SLOT

While Anfield title hero Diaz tears it up in Munich, mega-money flop Florian is struggling to make an impact as Kop's huge summer spend backfires

THE goal of the weekend was scored by a player who performed a key role in Liverpool's most recent title-winning season.

Alas for Arne Slot, the player is no longer at his disposal, having been sold for just over £65million.

Luis Diaz scored 13 Premier League goals for Liverpool last season and had seven assists.

Behind the numbers was an infectious enthusiasm for the task, an insatiable appetite for hard work and the inclination to try something different.

These were qualities that were not in abundance during Liverpool's display against Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday.
