The player with whom Liverpool fans are upset after the draw with Fulham

Luis Díaz’s performance in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Fulham in the Premier League left many fans unimpressed, particularly due to a contentious decision late in the match. In the 92nd minute, Díaz opted not to pass to Mohamed Salah, a choice that sparked frustration among supporters.

One notable reaction came from the X account Liverpool FC Colombia, a fan page run by Colombian supporters of the English club. They expressed their disappointment with Díaz’s decision, comparing it to a similar incident during the Copa América final when Díaz missed a key pass to Juan Fernando Quintero.

Fans Voice Frustration

The Colombian fan account stated: “Let’s not turn a blind eye. As much as we love him because he’s Colombian, Díaz had a clear pass to Salah. It’s true that it’s harder in the heat of the moment, but this is elite football. He needed to make that play. These decisions can cost us.”

Liverpool faced adversity throughout the match, playing with ten men after Andy Robertson’s early red card. Despite this, they managed to secure a point in dramatic fashion, but the draw felt bittersweet for fans, especially given the missed opportunities.

A Chaotic Match at Anfield

Fulham took an early lead when Andreas Pereira capitalized on a defensive error in the 11th minute. Things worsened for Liverpool when Robertson was sent off just six minutes later for a last-man foul on Harry Wilson.

Liverpool managed to equalize through Cody Gakpo’s header in the 47th minute, thanks to a precise cross from Mohamed Salah. However, Rodrigo Muniz restored Fulham’s lead in the 76th minute, dampening the Reds’ hopes.

The home side refused to give up, though, and Diogo Jota scored in the 86th minute after a clever assist from Darwin Núñez, salvaging a hard-fought draw.

A Learning Moment for Luis Díaz

While Díaz has often been praised for his skill and work rate, this match highlighted areas for improvement in decision-making under pressure. Fans were quick to point out the missed opportunity to pass to Salah, a play that could have potentially secured a dramatic late winner for Liverpool.
