And I think that is one of the biggest things we've missed this season.
When people have talked about not replacing Diaz, I actually think that's been the biggest problem because you could just hit him.
You could just get out.
He'd hold that end up.
He'd carry it for 30 yards.
Liverpool could get out.
And I think Liverpool need a player like that.
Now, the two players I mentioned before, Diamande, he might not be a...
a player that's going to necessarily win it in here.
He's not actually going to be a physical specimen to go and battle for it.
But I think if you put it behind teams, I think he's got the pace to go and be that outlet and be a ball carrier.
But, as to Neil's point before, Gordon is a fighter.
And there's been enough evidence against Liverpool, by the way, where I've seen Anthony Gordon play for Everton and give us a ton of time.
He absolutely drove me nuts and he was their only outlet.
And, you know, he was almost like a one-man team playing for them against us and doing very well in the job.
But also...
You know, the game at Nunes before, that famous Nunes game at Newcastle, that actually, you know, he turned the game on.
I'll tell you what, I think Gordon terrified the life out of Liverpool in that game for about 60 minutes.
Absolutely turned us inside out.
And, you know, I do think he would offer a certain level of physical catalyst and fight that we're missing.
