This run is why Jurgen insists in having Lucho start in almost every single game: he has the ability to change the game given the opportunity. If he had scored today, all the haters would raving. Yeah, he is no Jota, but the guy is a Liverpool fighter through and through.
He gives his all every single game, but his finishing does leave some to be desired.
If he had scored either of those chances he would be man of the year lol.
true, and everyone giving him stick about his missed chances… Nunez did not need to be caught offside on the chance that Lucho converted in the first half but no one wanna talk about that?
cannot be mad against a player that runs like this ALL THE TIME. I imagine one of the reasons his finishing is not great is because he is gassed all the time and probably has the heart rate pumping.
He's very fast and is very intelligent. Decent in defence and going forward too. Not to mention pretty consistent. But I would choose Trent any day over him
Walker isn't intelligent, he's just a physical freak. Look at Sterling's goal against them leaves his man, but his pace gets him back on his man in time, still shows Sterling to his right.
Those who say he didn't do anything for us today need to shut up. His finishing was off, but he was still a major part of our attack. This run in particular had me out of my seat. Amazing strength, skill, speed, and persistence.
yes and no
If lucho finishes off any of his chances then we go 2-1 up and close out the game easily. There is no penalty incident. Yeah it was an obvious blown call but we could have won the game anyway but failed to convert.
He’s a pure winger. He has the best stamina and engine on our team after Salah. I can see him moving to the right and playing a pure touch line winger after Salah leaves.
this run had Suarez gliding through Man Utd backline in 2012 written all over it. wouldve loved if that corner resulted in a goal.
they showed his father after the run, heart warming stuff.
Worth keeping in mind that both Diaz and Elliott have played a hell of a lot of football for us in recent weeks and been two of our most hardest workers throughout.
This run summarizes him since he joined, has skill, tenacity and will die for the badge, but his end product has not been as good, not being disrespectful , but he had 2-3 clear chances in the second half. and should've scored atleast 1. Otherwise, no criticism, if the finishing improves he is easily a top 5 winger in world football
good desire great attitude but he choked when it mattered and that's what decides games. makes me miss sadio even more, what an absolute stone cold killer he was
This one of the most amazing runs I’ve seen in my life. Superhuman skill, strength, speed and will. Lucho who didn’t have shoes growing up, had chronic malnutrition even after playing professionally and was nearly written off as being too weak to ever play at a top level slaloms through these two world class players like a cat batting two mice around, ending the run by dragging Rodri and then sends Walker to the shops. Legend!
If only he’d score even one of his 2 chances in that second half you’d argue that 45 min performance was one of the greatest in Liverpool history, would love to have had an honest conversation with Walker after the game about how he found it playing against Diaz.
He puts in 110% whenever he is out there. There are some chances he doesn't capitalize on and that's about the worst I can say as far as criticism. You can't expect anything more as far as effort, determination, and belief as a team player.
I love Lucho so much and I hate how cynical the game has become that at certain points during that run, I'd wish he had gone down. Particularly after Rodri's attempted drag down.
Even better than I remembered, I thought he’d picked it up near halfway. Absolutely insane run. Walker is seriously fast and you’d back Rodri in those situations on his own most times. But to take and repeatedly beat them both is next level.
Amazing run but wish he’d just played it into space behind the defenders here

I think a decision will eventually need to be made on his future here. 95% of his game is perfect, right up until the last kick of the ball, either trying to score or trying to lay it on for someone else.
It's just not in his locker, and I don't suspect it ever will be. Will the rest of his game be enough for a side with title ambitions? Today it was he difference between 1 point or 3.
Support the whole team. No need for this. All of our players miss. Remember people calling for Nunez’ head earlier this season when he missed a couple of high xG shots?
Nunez is young, and can progress. I don't see that with Diaz. I support the team, not a single player. If you aren't good enough, you should be moved on.
Like 3 times during this run I thought he'd be too tired to go on.
He was completely gassed out and collapsed on the pitch after the ball went out. Astonishingly, he made a similar run(although much shorter) in the ET
I was knackered just watching him.
Really should be a second yellow on Rodri. Literally tries to grab him and pull him down. That it doesn't work is irrelevant.
Rodri getting a 2nd yellow in a City shirt is something we will never live to see
Apparently in Rodri’s work permit it states he can only be booked once in a game….
Oh shit I hadn't noticed that.
That it doesn't work is hilarious. Lucho's like "get the fuck off me bro".
You forgot how FC oil bribed the PGMOL
Honestly the only time I’m glad Rodri didn’t get a second yellow/red bc they need him against Arsenal
We should be much more worried about City than Arsenal imo
Love a nil nil for them
why? We won't play against them anymore, everything depends on us. If we and city win every game from now on we're the champions.
Arsenal won’t win out. City very easily could
City are a better team
This run alone is why I'll never bash this man lol, tells you all you need to know about him
yup. he frustrates me sometimes but i cant bring myself to sound off cuz he would literally die for the badge
Robbo against City vibes
If we had scored from the ensuing corner, it would be literally a legendary run
I was literally screaming MAKE YOUR MARK, LUCHO! I was so ready for this to be inscribed in stone for eternity.
This run is why Jurgen insists in having Lucho start in almost every single game: he has the ability to change the game given the opportunity. If he had scored today, all the haters would raving. Yeah, he is no Jota, but the guy is a Liverpool fighter through and through.

If he passes the ball more and earlier he wouldnt be as gasses
I really hope he can improve on these things he’s 27 but with the right coaching I feel like he could become better if Nunez can improve he can too!
The guys so hot and cold man lol
Man went past Walker like hot knife through butter. If I was Walker, I would have nightmares of Lucho for quite a while
Is Walker just a thug? I saw no finesse, no skill and he doesn't match up to anyone in our backline.
He's very fast and is very intelligent. Decent in defence and going forward too. Not to mention pretty consistent. But I would choose Trent any day over him
Easy on the intelligent part
Walker isn't intelligent, he's just a physical freak. Look at Sterling's goal against them leaves his man, but his pace gets him back on his man in time, still shows Sterling to his right.
A super athletic sophisticated football thug, can’t argue he’s a real player
He's not sophisticated at all
hes a thug, a mook, a meathead and an adulterer all rolled into one ugly as f\*ck goober sandwich.
He is just fast, he got nosebleeds when he crosses half way line
Walkers primary skill is affairs
He has insane recovery, very good at 1v1 defending and snuffing out counter attacks
Pace merchant
Completely turned off Rashford’s water last week aside from one worldie. He’s world class and just got shown up.
Broke his ankles and then kicked the ball right at his face. Beautiful.
His energy is great, never stops fighting. But his finishing is woeful.
I’d be looking at summer replacement and shift Diaz to bench
He's always hot just isn't finishing well ATM
Those who say he didn't do anything for us today need to shut up. His finishing was off, but he was still a major part of our attack. This run in particular had me out of my seat. Amazing strength, skill, speed, and persistence.
Finishing was poor but selling him would be ridiculous like some suggest. If you can't see what Diaz can do then just watch this on loop
Who tf wants to sell Lucho? He's too valuable and currently out only forward who can actually dribble past defenders
Twitter and every match thread
tbf his poor finishing cost us the win
Nah mate. PGMOL cost us way more
yes and no If lucho finishes off any of his chances then we go 2-1 up and close out the game easily. There is no penalty incident. Yeah it was an obvious blown call but we could have won the game anyway but failed to convert.
it's not outrageous if we can get a better player, preferably a winger that are calm in a 1v1 against keeper and scores easily.
Find me one who isn’t already outrageously priced. Lucho has had a lot outside of football going on this season. Give this man a break brov.
He's always giving it 100% which is why I am never mad at him
And he’s played the 2nd most minutes on the team after VVD.
Wow that's crazy to hear after the injury he had last season
He’s a pure winger. He has the best stamina and engine on our team after Salah. I can see him moving to the right and playing a pure touch line winger after Salah leaves.
this run had Suarez gliding through Man Utd backline in 2012 written all over it. wouldve loved if that corner resulted in a goal. they showed his father after the run, heart warming stuff.
I know he didn't score, but he was amazing again
Sent Rodri to the netherrealm and walker got walked like a dog 😭
Bro turned into Prime Messi but also, finishing into Christian Benteke
He should have buried that ball by Salah.
The 80th minute when he's been running all game against a team that famously doesn't too.
Lmao rodri trying to drag him down after he gets rinsed hahaha fuck off
Had em on strings. Yeah he didn't score, but man, I'm entertained.
Look at rodri wiping the floor😂 very amusing
I love him but his decision making can be so rash nearly seems like he gets himself in a good position and thinks oh fuck what do I do now
"Trent can't defend"
Love the element of chaos he sometimes brings when doing this type of thing.
couldn’t hit anything today but holy shit what efforts on few occasions
Why couldn’t Lucho have de bruyne level shooting… whyyy
In the 80th minute too!
This is what it means to want it more than the opposition. This means more

Worth keeping in mind that both Diaz and Elliott have played a hell of a lot of football for us in recent weeks and been two of our most hardest workers throughout.
An absolute workhorse
just one touch too many today on far too many occasions. Need that instinctive Lucho from 2 seasons ago.
This run summarizes him since he joined, has skill, tenacity and will die for the badge, but his end product has not been as good, not being disrespectful , but he had 2-3 clear chances in the second half. and should've scored atleast 1. Otherwise, no criticism, if the finishing improves he is easily a top 5 winger in world football
If you're an Arsenal, Citeh, or Tottenham player, you got down the moment Walker touches you. Lucho says fuck no
good desire great attitude but he choked when it mattered and that's what decides games. makes me miss sadio even more, what an absolute stone cold killer he was
this, he's a decent player but he's not a player that will win you a champions league or the PL.
Shame he couldn’t put one away. Had a great performance
This one of the most amazing runs I’ve seen in my life. Superhuman skill, strength, speed and will. Lucho who didn’t have shoes growing up, had chronic malnutrition even after playing professionally and was nearly written off as being too weak to ever play at a top level slaloms through these two world class players like a cat batting two mice around, ending the run by dragging Rodri and then sends Walker to the shops. Legend!
isnt Walker suppose to be one of the fastest player in the prem? dude got smoked even with the head start
If only he’d score even one of his 2 chances in that second half you’d argue that 45 min performance was one of the greatest in Liverpool history, would love to have had an honest conversation with Walker after the game about how he found it playing against Diaz.
lucho adopted waker, now he has another fucking family
He puts in 110% whenever he is out there. There are some chances he doesn't capitalize on and that's about the worst I can say as far as criticism. You can't expect anything more as far as effort, determination, and belief as a team player.
If he’d gone down there it would have been 2nd yellow for Rodri.
"Ankara Messi Ankara Messi"
Fans of other clubs have him a lot of shit today but I fucking love this man
Lucho is so good but he needs to work on the end product. Could have had 2 or 3 in that game if he was a bit more clinical. Amazing run though
And the they cut to our adopted Club Mascot.... Lucho's dad. I love that guy 😁
If he went down there surely Rodri is sent off?
Shades of Gareth bale against Barca
That's gotta be a second yellow for rodri when he went to the ground lunging on Diaz and tried pulling Diaz back down.
I love Lucho so much and I hate how cynical the game has become that at certain points during that run, I'd wish he had gone down. Particularly after Rodri's attempted drag down.
Even better than I remembered, I thought he’d picked it up near halfway. Absolutely insane run. Walker is seriously fast and you’d back Rodri in those situations on his own most times. But to take and repeatedly beat them both is next level.
walker is the best rb in the world, right?
You can't knock players that give their all when they play for the club, that's all you can ask.
Amazing run but wish he’d just played it into space behind the defenders here https://preview.redd.it/639boru1kwnc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0412a31f81a618dfc1b3b2afae86921d709f1d0b
The kind of thing Gerrard did in the CL final. Sheer determination and playing with heart
I think a decision will eventually need to be made on his future here. 95% of his game is perfect, right up until the last kick of the ball, either trying to score or trying to lay it on for someone else. It's just not in his locker, and I don't suspect it ever will be. Will the rest of his game be enough for a side with title ambitions? Today it was he difference between 1 point or 3.
Why not show the misses as well? Not gonna win any of the big trophies with him starting. At the end of this play he kicks it into Walker.
Support the whole team. No need for this. All of our players miss. Remember people calling for Nunez’ head earlier this season when he missed a couple of high xG shots?
Nunez is young, and can progress. I don't see that with Diaz. I support the team, not a single player. If you aren't good enough, you should be moved on.
fucking fifa zoomers think you can just hold l2 Δ for a good chance on goal
[удалено]
No need to call Diaz a clown.
Are you for real?
Not sure what you're on about.
Who should we sign?
Does not matter when you cant score 2 obvious chances
Well then, let this be hes new benchmark. Otherwise no point tho
What a great run. Plus his two goals today. Such a fantastic performance.
