With Jürgen Klopp’s plan to maximize his potential, Luis Dáz is set to blow up at Liverpool.

In Luis Diaz’s first half-season at Liverpool, there was just one area of weakness, and after a full preseason under Jürgen Klopp, he should address it forcefully.

You might make the case that Luis Dáz was Liverpool’s most outstanding attacker in the second half of the previous season based on the caliber of his performances.

He edged Dejan Kulusevski of Tottenham Hotspur as the greatest Premier League signing signed in January. His presence appeared to mark a turning point for the Reds’ season, reviving their quest for victory on four fronts. He may be poised to blow up as he gears up for his first full season on Merseyside.

Daz scored six goals in his first 26 outings for Liverpool. Given that he only started 15 of those games, it was a respectable performance, but in terms of minutes per goal, he still lagged behind his teammates. Daz averaged one every 282 minutes, while Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota, and Sadio Mané only managed 129, 164, 170, and 71, respectively.

Prior to his January transfer, he had been in superb goal-scoring form for Porto, tallying 14 in 18 games in the Primeira Liga. What can he do differently to try to reach Liverpool’s 20-goal plateau?

Well, perhaps the first change he should do is to take better pictures. Daz actually finished second to Salah in the Premier League in terms of attempts per 90 minutes with 3.58, but among the five players mentioned above, he had the lowest anticipated goals per 90 minutes (0.42). That’s because his xG per shot, which again put him in fifth place, was only 0.12. For comparison, Jota was in first place with 0.18, followed closely by Mané and Firmino on 0.17.

Those statistics may roughly match fans’ expectations. Daz’s daring, in which he doesn’t hold back while cutting inside onto his preferred right foot and whipping a shot goalward in an effort to fool goalkeepers or defenders, is one of the reasons he is such an electrifying player.
