Liverpool fans appear to have come up with new Luis Diaz chant after his goal against Luton

Liverpool fans appeared to debut a new chant dedicated to Luis Diaz during Sunday’s draw with Luton Town.

It was a disappointing evening for Liverpool, as they failed to capitalise on the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur losing this weekend.

Nevertheless, there was at least one moment to treasure from an otherwise frustrating game. Still awaiting the release of his father after an horrific kidnapping in Colombia, Diaz was the man everyone wanted to score. The 26-year-old duly delivered.

And as seen on the latest video of the ‘Inside’ series on Liverpool’s YouTube channel today, Diaz was a very popular goal-scorer.

The LFCTV cameras captured the travelling Kop serenading their beleaguered hero at full-time. With the Liverpool players approaching the away end, fans chanted ‘Diaz, Diaz, Diaz,’ in the manner they often use to salute fellow forward Darwin Nunez.

Fast-forward a little, and a chant to the tune of Depeche Mode’s ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ can also be heard. Those with keen memories will know that this was purely a rearrangement of the old Luis Suarez chant from back in the day. Perhaps it won’t stick. But it was a nice gesture for a man going through the toughest of times all the same.

Diaz feels the love

Of course, fans don’t usually mind all that much who gets on the scoresheet for Liverpool. This season more than ever the team has plenty of potential goal-getters.

It doesn’t really matter who ends up sticking it in the net, especially in desperate situations like the one on Sunday.

But at Kenilworth Road, it simply had to be Diaz.

Lucho’s father’s story over the past couple of weeks is the kind that unites fans of all backgrounds. No matter who you support, you surely can’t help but be rooting for Liverpool’s No.7.

Obviously, a game of football is meaningless against that backdrop. But as a few of Diaz’s teammates have mentioned, being involved with the team is providing a good distraction for Lucho.

To hear the fans chanting his name during such a difficult personal period will hopefully remind him that the whole of the Liverpool family is with him.

Fingers crossed we get good news for Diaz very soon. In the meantime, we suspect this won’t be the last time his name gets an airing from the Reds supporters.
