Liverpool They began their Champions League campaign in splendid form with a 3-1 victory over AC Milan at San Siro.
The Merseyside heavyweights conceded an early goal to the Rossoneri through Christian Pulisic but made amends before the break with goals from Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk from corners. Dominik Szoboszlai sealed the match with Liverpool's third goal shortly after the hour mark.
It was a resounding performance after a nervous start, but coach Arne Slot could still make changes for Saturday. Premier League Bournemouth game. We think Diogo Jota should be left out of the starting line-up for the home game after his poor performance in front of goal on Tuesday.
The Portuguese star had a poor game against Nottingham Forest last weekend. He had just 7 precise passes And he missed a great chance to score. His performance was also not impressive against Milan. In 68 minutes, he made only 11 passes and wasted two brilliant scoring opportunities.
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers man won just 1 of the 8 duels played that night and was eventually replaced by Darwin Nunez. Slot has made some shrewd decisions in the early part of his managerial career and it could be time for a change at number 9, with Jota having failed to live up to expectations on two occasions.
Cody Gakpo started on the left wing for the Reds and had a quality performance with one assist and 7 duels won. He was also efficient in dribbling past his opponents. The Dutch ace could be a candidate to lead the attack on Saturday as Luis Diaz is expected to return to the left side of the attack.
The other option for the coach could be Núñez. The Uruguayan star has been a bit player under Slot during the first part of the season and could be given the chance to redeem himself in the face of Jota's shortcomings since the first international break of the season.
