It’s dangerous to draw too many conclusions from one match, but in today’s climate, with social media driving the need for instant, definitive reactions, it’s easy to come away from a Liverpool game categorically convinced this player is done, another should start or Arne Slot is a genius.

In reality, iron-cast opinions should form over a prolonged period.

That the title is all but wrapped up and any playing time might come in meaningless matches might not help those on show.

But one player who is having an impact is Diaz.

As per WhoScored’s player ratings, the winger earned the highest score of any Liverpool player in the wins over Everton and West Ham and was second only to Alexis Mac Allister at Craven Cottage.

In the Merseyside derby win, Diaz had the most key passes and dribbles, and set up Diogo Jota’s winner?

Luis Diaz is Liverpool's most in-form player.

It was telling against West Ham that it was Jota, rather than Diaz, who was replaced after an hour.

That alone may not mean anything - remember what we said about knee-jerk reactions

Probably not.

But if Diaz can maintain this level between now and the campaign’s conclusion, he might just convince Liverpool’s decision makers of his value to Slot’s title-winning team.
