Liverpool have not had great luck with injuries this season, so the fact that the Reds were chasing a quadruple until the last Sunday is especially impressive.
Jurgen Klopp still can't count on several crucial players, such as Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold or Curtis Jones.
However, after Liverpool failed to seal the deal against Man United in regular time, more than one fan lamented the absence of Diogo Jota the most.
The forward has been out for over a month with a knee issue and is expected to be back the week after the international break. For some supporters, his return can't come soon enough.
Anything Liverpool, X: "I miss Jota. Best finisher we have."
wataponxx, Reddit: "I'm tired of the indecisiveness in the box. Diaz is good on the ball, Darwin gets in great positions ( let's not talk about Gakpo) but they can't finish chances and this has cost us. Jota doesn't need to do any fancy stuff. He'll bag the goals and win us games"
Jay, X: "We beat both City & United if we had Jota. Shows how important he is and how we need more output from Diaz & Gakpo. Hope we bring in another forward this summer."
iG8, Reddit: "Jota has been so unlucky with injuries. Bit injury-prone maybe but it feels like a lot of them have been straight-up unlucky impact injuries. I feel like when he’s fit he’s the most underrated attacker in the world."
LFC Dagger, X: "That Diogo Jota injury might end up being the difference between us winning the league or not. Need him back as soon as possible. Probably our most clinical finisher."
LFC Transfer Room, X: "Jota is defo raging watching this Gakpo performance"
FCF23, Reddit: "Does anyone actually know when he’s back. Imo we’re one recovery away from winning a title and that’s him."
Vik, X: "games like this just make me miss Jota even more"
