Even after being attended to, he was unable to return and Ajax went on to play the last 10 minutes with a down. It did not matter as the Naples-based team managed to get their goals through Piotr Zielinski bagging a brace, while Giovanni Simeone and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa also found the net while the Reds got their consolation courtesy of Luis Diaz. The versatile defender played a crucial role as his team hammered Heerenveen 5-0 with Ghana international Mohammed Kudus grabbing a brace while the other goals came from Davy Klaassen, Kenneth Taylor and Brian Brobbey.

And while, sure, it might ultimately have been quite innocuous in the broader context of the game, let’s not be so numb and boring as not just appreciate an outrageous piece of skill like that for its sheer audacity. It was, truth be told, exactly the sort of skill move you see from professional freestylers in their local cage, not in the middle of a top European game, so be sure to bask in Kudus’ tekkers down below: During his Man of the Match performance in the Dutch capital, the young Ajax star channeled Ronaldinho by flicking the ball up into the air and then out to the side in one instant flashy movement. And you needn’t look any further for signs of recovery than the fact that Ajax already find themselves top of the Eredivisie table with a menacing record of six wins from as many games with 21 goals scored and just three conceded. While, yes, that is in part a testament to the top players who have stuck around at the Johan Cruyff Arena such as Jurriën Timber and Dusan Tadic, it’s also an indicator that Ajax are once again blooding more and more young talent. Just as they had been pillaged of their star men back in 2019, the Amsterdam club were rinsed of most of their prized assets and even their manager as Erik ten Hag headed to

Jurgen Klopp has a number of selection dilemmas to make ahead of Liverpool's clash with Ajax after being thrashed at Napoli in their opening Champions ...
With Thiago also having five days to prepare, he should be fit enough to start against Ajax which would give the Reds a lot more quality in the No.8 position. He received the ball with Alexander-Arnold nowhere to be seen and then slotted the ball into the back of the net. Although it seems harsh to drop Harvey Elliott after his recent performances, Thiago has to come back into the starting XI. This is what Klopp should do against Ajax and play Nunez from the start in front of Liverpool faithful. Another selection dilemma for Klopp is whether he decides to bring Darwin Nunez back into the starting XI. [Rio Ferdinand](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/rio-ferdinand) said: "Gomez makes the mistake but you’ve got to get back and help your team-mates and Trent didn’t do that. This would allow the Reds to be better defensively with Gomez impressing in that position when he's called upon. Anguissa played a routine one-two with Zielinski on the edge of the Liverpool box, before ghosting past the England international and into the area. He has particularly struggled with his final ball and delivery from set pieces, with the right-back not looking as sharp as he normally is. So, with that in mind, here are three ruthless decisions Klopp should make ahead of the Reds' clash with Ajax. Luis Diaz scored the Reds' only goal of the game but it wasn't enough to prevent a heavy loss as Jurgen Klopp's side suffered their third defeat of the season. It is a chance for Klopp's men to prove the critics wrong after they were slammed for their performance at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
