The best way to defend against Nunez is to leave him an open goal. He only knows the hard way!
Top striker Nunez🔥🔥
That's what confidence from fans will give you
0:55 bro in weed
Oh Frank, he was literally clocked as one of the two fastest sprinters in the league last year. I doubt he's gotten slower. He does it all.
Frank saying Nunez is not fast😂😂😂 He had on of the highest recorded top speeds in the league
As a fan I still criticise him for not scoring enough
Anybody that partner will definitely put up massive performance
We are going to beat city come Sunday
Darwin Nunez
Nunez is very fast for all center back in the world…
He doesnt need to be the fastest player in the world
RM new they wanted him, they would be high flying right now but i'm glad we got him YNWA❤
Darwin even while missing those chances was still undroppable for Liverpool because of those things that he brings to the attack which he is golden but with goals flowing, then we have an absolute super star which is unplayable. Good luck man city defenders defending him.
For me Darwin's biggest asset is that he's not afraid to miss he just keeps on going at it and going, doesn't care what critics and fans have to say, he's like an unstoppable bogeyman killer in a B rated horror movie 🤣
If Konaté doesn't play on the weekend, we'll be in trouble. Darwin can only play football against weak teams because he is technically untrained.
This guy has no credibility as a pundit when he said Darwin is not that fast
Don't know who was criticizing Darwin as far as us LFC fans are concerned. I did, but I was in the minority. Few games in and the boy, finishing apart, looked absolute class. I and every other decent LFC fan probably knew then that when he gets the finishing right, he'll be unstoppable and it's showing now. Darwin is a treasure and absolutely worth the admission price on his own. Box office of a player and in this LFC set up, I'd have him over Haaland. Then again I'm sure City fans would much rather have Haaland than Darwin. Both are excellent strikers but what makes them so great is a whole different bunch of attributes compared to each other.
He said Nunez is not the fastest player in the world?..
Actually Nunez is very fast, what’s he talking about?. Nunez has long strides also,
When he gets going and at full speed, his off.. if anything I’ll say his not got very fast accelerating from standing point but once he has room in front of you to run, his off.
"Not the fastest", lol he's fastest Premier League player on record, even faster than Kyle Walker!
Guy said Darwin is not the fastest guy in the world?😂😂
What i love most about Darwin is his workrate. He never stops, he's completely tenacious. It's reminiscent of Suarez
😂😂😂 how to defend nunez how times have changed from is darwin a flop
Darwin isn’t called Captain Chaos for nothing.
We love him. Defenders hate him.
Darwin is a workhorse as striker…I´ve never doubted him, he´ll be a longterm brilliant striker for Liverpool. Left, right or headers, he´s banging them in, just like Rushie.
Passion, aggression and vision, that´s Darwin. I love him.
YNWA
Ffs Frank…Pipe down lad 😂😂😂
Darwin could outpace you in your prime, WITH the ball, without any problems. If you stayed close to Darwin, you would be totally lost and subbed in halftime 😁
Today, very few can follow Darwin.
Benfica La Pantera(Nunez) has arrived babyy❤. The rest of the PL is panicking
He's not the fastest guy in the world, errr yes Frank he is, he's got premier league and champions league sprint record.
Nunez isnt fast? You on drugs mate?
Who the bald guy with the funny accent?
Ask Jaap Stam, Gattuso or Pepe i bet they gonna have the answer to that🙃
Back in the day, the German team perfected the role of "over-coat" for their best opponents. They basically stuck so close to the player that he never had time on the ball. The trick is of course, who to "dress up" in the other team.
Pure hypocrisy. Shaka and Frank now praising Darwin (moderately, of course, as they STILL have reservations against him) after laughing and dismissing him constantly. I remember how dismissive they were specially when they compared him to Halland, basically saying Darwin was a fiasco, etc, etc. The perfect Nordic player, versus the other guy who basically is stealing the money, etc.
NOTE: comparing a European player versus a South American nobody they obviously went aggressively against the South American…There is so much prejudice and blindness in their previous commentary about Darwin that these (veiled) “positive” comments just confirm their bias. For them, Zidane is the greatest 🤷🏽♀️.
Darwin was an amazing player before these idiots knew who he was – they just think that because they are commenting about the wealthiest league in the world they know it all and have the right humiliate players as much as they want – AND THEY WERE PLAYERS THEMSELVES!
THAT tells you a lot about what they have inside themselves: they are full of it. It’s really sad.
vamos
Darwin is Really Fast!!!!! Are they nuts?
Darwin is rapid, one of the quickest in the prem
Liverpool gots to protect this man 1 year from now great player trust mi.just give him time
Liverpool is going to smash City badly. 5-1
The goals and assists dont lie but only tell half the story as long as us Liverpool fans appreciate him who cares what opposition fans thinks YNWA YNWA
😂 frank i think got lost in translation.. nunez like a gazelle
Literally no credibility this show
Darwin is not the fastest? ohh yes he is, the chap is probably the fastest striker in the league.
Hiii
frank frank! come on my boy Nunez is fast, aggressive, powerful, and pump with energy! so fun to watch only thing to criticize is the finishing.
I'm so happy now many people are starting to see how good he is or can be. You could see from the start that he's going to be some player, and now his hard work and never die attitude is starting to pay off.
