As others have said, he never stopped. Left everything out there for the cause. There are few players in world football I'd choose over him for what he gives us overall.

Magnificent, led the line with aplomb and never gave up through 120 minutes. No one can doubt him after this, surely.

Needs to be on the beach for a week. I was tired watching him.

Love him as a player, tricky, direct and fast. Think the goals will start flowing again as well

Seeing some of that dribbling ability coming back it feels like. He was a star today. Got very little help from Gapko or Elliot (who was good but not really as a forward) so had to lead the line on his own. And so nearly made/ scored a few.

This man just didn't stop. Utterly relentless over the entire 120 minutes and a constant menace for Chelsea.

From when we first bought Diaz up until his first injury, he has somehow been relegated to the role of unsung hero, despite consistently being one of our most potent attacking threats.

Every great team needs an element of unpredictable and random weirdness. Lucho supplies it. I could forgive him everything. Opponents fear him - and they are right to. I loved him from the moment I first clapped eyes on him. What he's given to Liverpool already is extraordinary.

Go back a couple of pages and look at the whinging about his poor decision making.  Then ask yourself if there are still doubters!

He came on and saved the game for us vs Luton when his dad had been kidnapped. After that I never doubted his mentality.

A real warrior's performance yesterday and I agree that he carried our attack, we'd have looked very static without him.

I wish he would be more decisive about attacking the fullback. So many times the last few games he's had the left side of the pitch to himself with just the fullback to beat and he holds holds holds until the rest of the defense gets settled and back in position.

I feel like there's another level to his game if he just trusts his pace and dribbling ability.

What a game this lad had yesterday. Truly outstanding. His touch is from heaven. His appetite for a fight is ravenous. But there are also such a range of possibilities when he has the ball at his feet. He must be a nightmare to defend against. Not just for the immediate opponent but for the entire defensive unit. I completely understand why he plays practically every minute of every game. He's fit, sure, and others aren't. But take him out of the team and there's just a wee bit more ordinariness in it.

Fucking hell not a word in the HT thread and not much of a mention in the FT thread. I thought he was really good tonight and played some superb football alongside his always high work rate. Him and Macca were the best players on the pitch for me.
