Talking Point from Paul Gorst after Liverpool's win over Everton in the Merseyside derby
The biggest dilemma around Liverpool ahead of the 243rd Merseyside derby regarded the status of their South American continent.
This time around, Nunez, who suffered cramp during the 2-0 victory against Alisson's Brazil, was left on the bench as Diaz and Mac Allister were entrusted to help see off Sean Dyche's side. It's not unusual for Premier League clubs to share the cost of bringing back those involved in international action in South America. In 2017, Liverpool teamed up with Manchester City fly back Ederson, Fernandinho, Gabriel Jesus, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino ahead of a meeting between the two sides, while Chelsea also chipped in to fly Willian back to England.
The No.9's productive season goes on but it was the quiet contributions of Diaz that ultimately made the difference, even if the headlines will go to two-goal Mohamed Salah.
