00:00 Just looking at Liverpool's pre-season so far, who's impressed for you?
00:05 Who's stood out? Because this season, going into it, they're going to want to right those wrongs from last season
00:10 and really have a positive season overall. Players like Darwin Nunes might need to look to step up this year as well.
00:16 Yeah, it's funny you mention Darwin Nunes because he's got three goals in his opening two games so far.
00:22 The first one against Karlsruhe, maybe a little bit fortunate because he didn't take his shot on goal
00:29 and he managed to get the ball back and finish the composure to be fair.
00:33 But it's two goals against Guterred for real good finishes, as you say. Confidence going into the season now.
00:41 For me, I've been really impressed by Diogo Diotta so far because if you were looking at those five attacking options that Liverpool have got,
00:50 you're probably thinking Diogo Diotta's fifth choice out of them all.
00:54 The way Gaspo ended last season, obviously Luis Diaz missed a lot of football, but we've seen how good he can be when he first arrived.
01:02 Darwin Nunes, they paid a lot of money for and obviously Mo Salah speaks for himself.
01:07 But Diotta, he got two goals in the first game, probably shudder scores in the second game.
01:16 But yeah, I've been really impressed by Diogo Diotta so far.
01:21 A couple of the young lads as well, Ben Doak has been electric and really, really impressive, the teenager.
01:29 And the new sign, Sobha Sligh in the first game, first half, showed some good glimpses.
01:35 Unfortunately, he missed the second game in McAlister in that first game, especially, he was only really like for a pass.
01:40 So yeah, looking good so far. Liverpool maybe Jürgen Klopp will want some improvements defensively because he's seen four goals against Guterred.
01:49 Pretty poor defence, to be honest, in the second half.
01:53 Probably some mitigating circumstances given it was the end of the camp and people might have been tired, etc.
01:58 But I'd say, yeah, those are the players who have caught the eye so far.
