He won’t be playing against Bolivian farmers every week in the PL tho
Keep keep keep the offside manual under Darwin's bed !!
You need to watch the highlights of that Uruguay vs Bolivia game. Nunez misses about 4 golden chances before he scores. He's just as frustrating and inconsistent as ever.
It’s not the Premier League all these goals the score in. If we get a good offer for him I would sell him. I think want to leave as well.
I love TAW, but I think they get too close to the players, they loose perspective, if Nunez just was 50% more effective we would have a great chance to be champions, the fellow just missed too many 100% chances and also his off-side awareness is just non existent in a Liverpool skirt making many good situations with good opportunity to score fall by the way side.
I believe that there could be a problem with him and Klopp, also believe that he has problem keeping his head cool, too emotional maybe.
I therefore understand if he gets sold, but there is a feeling that we maybe should give him one more chance, who knows, maybe he will surprise us.
There became amoment when Stevie was surplus, this is where where we are at with Mo sadly. He has to go so that we can move on.
This squad is nowhere near as strong mentally or physically as the team winning the league, the midfield plus Manè and Firmino could be very physical and were tough individuals, today only Roberson and Gomez and Quansa do that for me, where they can do a mistake and shake if of and carry on playing, also they don’t feel imitating by strong players, Virgil is one of the best players in the world, but not sure he should be captain, too moody I feel, but then again he is one of the few that plays most games, of the group of players I only see Curtis have captain material in him, not timid or shy to give the referee a few harsh words.
Personally I have no interest in his Uruguay form. Performances for Liverpool have not been good enough but I would give him the benefit of another season under a new manager.
Lesson in humility, Bielsa players play the ducking ball to Nunez as he makes run. TAA an co, -iss about with it for 3 seconds and then Darwin is offside. Time LFC players acted like Mac Allister who know to play the ball straight away and Nunez is on side, , its the other duffers in LFC side that pose on the ball to long.. Uruguay would destroy Liverpool in a game and they would put 10 by Holland
Nunez will only succeed if he's settled off the pitch my question mark isn't about ability or development but if he thinks England doesn't suit he will never do anything at Liverpool.
Always great hearing from Andy, John, Kevin, and the lad from durutti column
Echo some other comments on here. This doesn’t feel like a balanced argument at all. Obviously we all want to get behind him because that’s what we do as Liverpool fans and it’s what makes our club so great but there needs to be some discourse around the time we have given him to correct his game etc.
Nunez obviously is an emotional lad and that’s great (when he jumped over the boards in the final etc) but we bought him for a huge fee to be our main man and deliver. It troubles me that he hasn’t learnt the language yet and continues to not learn from his mistakes (using social media, his offsides, finishing etc.)
There’s obviously raw talent in there but his ability to adjust and learn is a concern. It’s no surprise to me that he’s banging them for Uruguay- they all speak his language, plays with confidence and Bielsa seems to understand how to get the best out of him.
Edwards and co wouldn’t have approved the signing with that fee. Drives me insane when the crowd chant his name when he does the slightest thing right.
His goal return has mainly come against ‘lesser teams’ and we would’ve probably ended up with more silverware if we had a ruthless finisher.
Bit of balance needed on here lads.
Nunez is too hit/miss, not clinical enough. I think we’ll end up selling him in the next year. We need a highly clinical striker.
Nunez are in the wrong club and in the wrong League he is not hugh press player
Get the blinkers off lads FFS!! Second week in a row every contributor can’t have a balanced view. North Korean propaganda!
He still misses for Uruguay. He just scores as well. The way he plays will always mean he gets lots of chances. He needs the right kind of service, which with the way Slot plays it seems he will get that. Hopefully it works out.
Hii
Looking forward to seeing all our players under a new manager and coaching team. I wouldn't even mind keeping hold of Diaz for another season, as unlikely as that is.
Anfield wrap feels so unique in the football fan media space. Measured but positive conversation that doesn't feel forced just for clicks. Love it
apart from England.
KEEEEEEEEEEEP!
He will become class trust me.
Make that 11 in 8!
For some reason, something wasn't right between him and Jurgen. No point in speculating what it was, but there was very obviously an issue. Marcelo Beilsa seems to be able to get the absolute best out of him, and he's even eluded to it himself. I reckon Slot may do the same. Can see Darwin getting 30+ this season, and also Gakpo improving as well from the left.
I was one of the people that really had enough of him last season, when you take into account the amount of times he's caught offside, the whole disrespect for Klopp, the taking his Liverpool pics foen etc.
BUT… I do believe he could redeem himself this season.
