Liverpool’s struggles in recent weeks have reminded many fans just how important Diogo Jota was to the team — not only as a goal scorer but also as a driving force in attack. Since his tragic passing, the squad has looked emotionally and mentally affected, and that impact has clearly translated onto the pitch.

Jota’s relentless energy, pressing, and sharp finishing gave Liverpool an edge in crucial moments. Without him, the team’s attacking rhythm and confidence seem to have faded. Players like Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez have tried to fill the void, but the chemistry and balance that Jota brought are difficult to replace.

It’s understandable that emotions are still raw, both for the players and supporters. The team isn’t just missing a talented footballer — they’re missing a friend, a leader in spirit, and someone who embodied Liverpool’s “never give up” mentality.

So before rushing to criticize their form, it’s worth remembering that the squad is still in recovery — not just tactically, but emotionally. With time, unity, and support, they can rebuild and once again find the strength and purpose that defined them during Jota’s time at Anfield.
