Luis Díaz fails to shine in Liverpool's agonising draw against Fulham
In a match marked by the early expulsion of Andrew Robertson and an intense back and forth, Liverpool could not get past a 2-2 draw against Fulham. Colombian Luis Díaz, an undisputed starter for Arne Slot, did not find his best version at Anfield.
After 6 minutes, an unfortunate play by Díaz cost him a yellow card and put the team in trouble. The attempted overhead kick ended up hitting an opposing defender, which further complicated the situation for the 'Reds'. Despite the opportunities created, the Colombian was unable to convert any and his performance was below expectations.
Robertson's expulsion forced Liverpool to restructure its tactical scheme, which affected the team's performance. Díaz, who started the match as a false nine, was moved to his usual position on the left wing in the second half. However, the Colombian was unable to unbalance the match and create danger in the rival area.
Despite the draw, Liverpool remains at the top of the Premier League, but the match left several doubts about the performance of the team and some of its players, including Luis Díaz.
The next challenge for the Colombian and his team will be the first leg of the League Cup quarter-final against Southampton. It will be a chance for Diaz to get back to his best form and help Liverpool move forward in this competition.

The impact of Robertson's sending off: How the left-back's sending off affected the development of the match and the team's performance is explained.
