Luis Fernando Díaz is not left on the bench, critics supplied in England in the match against Fulham who lost 3-2 the proud Premier League champion. It is a pity that Arne Slot has not heard them.
The Colombian was a substitute and did not have minutes this Sunday, in the 2-1 defeat against Chelsea, the third of the season for the anticipated champion of the best league in the world.
The DT opted for a mixed payroll, with some headlines such as Salah (obviously), Van Dijk and Alisson Becker, but alternatives such as Quanseah, Endo, Jota and Gakpo. They did not give the size, that is, because the discount arrived on the time and in Captain's aerial game, not precisely as a consequence of a very lucid work on the offensive.
How is Liverpool without Díaz?
Díaz did not play in Stamford Bridge and was one of the few games that was lost in the season.
Only in Premier League he played 33 meetings, with 24 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses, a yield of 80 percent. In Champions, it was even an average yield of 89 percent, with 8 wins, 1 defeat an unforgettable triplet, premiere the center-laoretero post.

The only low performance with Díaz in the field was in the EFL Cup, in which he played 4 games, with 50 percent yield.
What happened without the guajiro in the field?
Eye to the data: In Premier League, Díaz was lost 2 games and the performance was 50 percent, and in Champions, in his only absence, already when the classification to the round of 16 had secured, his team lost and obviously the performance remained nothing.
In the two games in which Efl Cup was missing the balance was two victories. Unfortunately in that contest he lost the final against Newcastle. In the FA Cup he played 1 games and the other was lost, a sound elimination at the hands of the Plymouth, which coincidentally descended to third category.
So those who believe that Luis Díaz is not indispensable, think about it. Not in vain the improvement of his contract and his possible renewal is currently negotiated, since he has a contract until 2027. The 'reds' know that at their best time they cannot afford to lose it to reinforce another rival in Premier or in Europe. Against Chelsea they found him, once again.
