As a Liverpool fan I can say that most of us have been supportive and a small group of fans have taken it too far with hate/abuse, however I do think people have the right to expect more. Salah with his worst Liverpool season being out for 2.5 months is on 28G/A in the prem. Salah and Jota are our only goal threats really. Diaz and Nunez was meant to replace Mané and Firmino and ad more goals to the attack but that hasn't happened. Nunez I've noticed just shots instead of actually placing the shots it's like the technique isn't all the way there. Like his misses against Luton and Man U just to mention some were so hard to take.

He gets into such good positions, is a constant threat, a nuisance. His work rate is unbelievable. If he can just time his runs a bit better and compose himself, he’s adding ten-fifteen goals a season to his tally. He can be frustrating, especially in big games where the margins are so fine. I recently said when we were still in for the title and were top of the league, if him and Salah kept missing those big chances, it was going to come and haunt us. Then it did. More so with Darwin because some of his misses have been sitters. I still love him though because he works hard and is entertaining. I can only see improvement. He just has to put the negativity out of his mind and knuckle down. YNWA.

We’ve seen recently where Klopp has been arriving late to press conferences - sort of in that “don’t care anymore” phase because he’s leaving. If Klopp it that tardy outwardly, imagine what he’s like internally. Klopp might be thinking “not really my problem anymore, someone else can sort it”.

I feel like this is it for Nuñez, the vast majority of Liverpool fans have backed him to the core throughout these past 2 seasons despite his misses and him constantly being offside. Abuse should always be condoned but at the same time, in an era where everything gets screenshotted, I have not actually seen any of the abuse that is being said he has gotten (and he has had his instagram comments on limited since forever).

When he arrived people compared him to Halland, and I guess many people expect him to still reach these hights due to his pricetag, which is just unfair... I think he is performing pretty much as one could expect. A decent 9, but nothing special.

Liverpool fans at the stadium and most forums have supported him throughout, even though he has cost us points and sometime painful to watch. His name gets chanted very often when people see him struggling. Cant speak for the trolls and horrid fans online throwing abuse but its dissapointing to see him act this way.

He’s just not it. Even when he was at Benfica. Many fans were blinded by his goal tally in his second season, but if you really watch him play, he lacks the quality to become a world class striker like a Kane, Lewandowski, Haaland, etc. He’s talented, but I don’t think he’ll reach that next level to be one of the greats.

Being a Liverpool fan, I’ve always love Nunez and what he did on the field. Till now, I’m quite sure that he probably never be a clinical striker like Lewandowski or Kane, But given his size and speed, I’m damn sure he is a good striker who could cause chaos up front, I just thought he would fit best if he’s not being the key striker up front.

Only discovered your channel now man. You talk a lot of sense regarding Darwin thanks. Just subbed.

Great watch as always! 👊🏿💜 Looking from the outside looking in i think he'll still do well for Liverpool. And you saw him vividly for Benfica so I'm sure there's nothing i can add coz my experience was seeing him in Spain but that was when he was absolutely raw before heading to Benfica. He's still very raw but there's something in there that can be channeled by a prooer coach to calm him down. Although they are very different players (in terms of position and style of play) it reminds me of a young Vini before Carlo when he used to be so rushed anytime he got through on goal, and only until Carlo did we see him calm down and become more calculated and i remember Carlo specifically mentioning that he told Vini to start taking less touches when closer to goal and calming down in the box. But yeah i think he'll be an important piece for Liverpool in their rebuild post Klopp if they stick by him and find a coach whos able to channel that confident side of him.

As someone that follow the eredivisie, the way Slot handled Santi gimenez through good and bad form is something positive to look forward to by Nuñez, also Gakpo is a left winger only, he played striker for van gaal but thats not his actual position, Slot will definitly put him there

one thing should be noted liverpool this season played in europa league which gave the player loads and loads of chances to score and yet he increased his number just a fraction

Looks like the help of a sports psychologist and a technical performance coach would help. He just needs to make an adjustment or two. Needs to focus more on anticipation and shot placement instead of just first time shooting.

The abuse that Darwin has received from a small but loud minority, is nothing short of disgusting. Yes his conversion stats are poor and yes he is a bit of a rough diamond. But he puts a shift in every time he pulls on that red shirt and as fans, you can’t knock a player for working hard and trying his best. I hope he can become the striker we all hope he can be.

ManC spends billions per squad position and is usually on older players (to form the core), while youth fills in areas of need. Other than the money, I don't see why any player under the age of 27 goes to the premier league.

I’m a Liverpool fan and I’m aboard on the Darwin train. Perhaps I have more patience than other reds but I notice that as stated on the video, Núñez has improved on the tactical side yet is still a chaos merchant. When he’s confident, he generally improves the whole attack. On the psychology aspect and his emotional intelligence side to his game, he’s passionate, seems to be a hard worker and is a team player - trying to get goals but also creating space for others. There are a lot of kinks to work out (which might never be straightened out) but the sticking point for most of the criticism has to be the purported transfer fee. Hope the best for him and my club whether it be together or him going to another club.

As a Liverpool supporter, I’d like for the club to keep him. Here’s why: 1. Composure is a key problem of how Liverpool play. The high intensity means sometimes things happen at 250km/h. For instance, the 2022 UCL final should have been won but no goal was scored despite peppering Courtois’ goal. The keeper had a blinder of a game, but there are often times where LFC players could take an extra touch and didn’t. The proverbial “La pausa”. 2. He fashions chances with his chaos and keeps defenders busy. The space this creates is positive IF teammates can exploit it as well. I’d always prefer he starts vs City and Arsenal, for example. I’d readily sell Diaz first (13G 5A all comps) before Nunez (18G 13A).

Give him a season under Slot and if he still doesnt improve or to the level Edwards/Hughes expect then get rid. Still has plenty of time to be resold IF that ever happens and needed.

Thing is Liverpool in 1st half was really good. They conceded less goals and created lot of chances and burried them. In 2md half Liverpool lost many of their starting stars because of injury and defensive wise Liverpool have been bad in 2nd half. Rhey have barely kept any coean sheets. It also doesn't help when you concede every match. You can't do comeback every match. Also players like Gakpo & Diaz have hardly scored goals or even created chances. All pressure ends up falling on Darwin. Ofcourse he should score some of thise chances but there are times when Duaz and Gakpo in that position and hardly scored those goals. Jota & Mo getting injured doesn't help that. The reason Liverpool fell off in 2nd half is because of injuries and fatigue. When injured players returned they barely had any momentum. Players who were playing got down with fatigue. Klopp going news also doesn't help much. With all the injury issues Liverpool hardly have a structure which provides good chance to the attack. Conceding also doesn't help. Some criticism is fair enough. But some are just too much. It was a collective failure and not just Darwin's finishing when he has scored some goal winning matches.

There’s no pressure greater then that of expectations People’s expectations or assumptions of what a player should be capable of. Ronaldo is one of the best goal scorer of modern football and he too suffered at the hands of critics and expectations Darwin is an incredible talent and I do believe he can be genuinely world class with the right management around him I think klopp leaving is ampering this Liverpool team’s performance at times

Honestly if anyone had watched full season of him playing i don't understand how any fans would want him to stay. He has most offsides and big chance misses combined in a league. He literally cost us the league

The thing is that some players feel that if they get negative comments from a few supporters then it feels like everyone feels the same. People give negative comments easy, but a well done is harder to come by. I think it's more of a coaching issue than anything else. He would thrive in a different coaching model. We have so many opposition keepers having their best games against us... that not a coincidence

The funny or wierd thing about Nunez is that outside of his shooting no joke his whole game as a striker is world class. I understand why people see him as a flop (which he isnt) because there was high expectations and he himself has shown incredible promise , am not saying his close to someone like Suarez as a complete striker but he is sort of in that Benzema category of "mediocre but relativly good on his own with potential for a good season but high output if paired with good wingers". He has individually underperform but i personally look more at Liverpools overall attack always lacking the 3rd player rather than being focused on just Nunez's technical errors cause until now in almost every match 1/3 of Liverpool's attack seems to lack behind wether its Nunez, Salah, Diaz , Gakpo.

lmfaooo... i think we just have to accept that, it's part of his game

Darwin was once of those signings made after FSG decided to grant Klopp greater power in such matters, at the expense of the scouting team. A Klopp pick, whose form unsurprisingly dipped shortly after Klopp announced his departure. He probably knows a new manager isn't going to put great faith into his very specific... skillset, players like him and Diaz won't be looked upon kindly by a manager who emphasizes technique and precision over crazy pressing and running.

Would that stop him constantly being offside and missing sitters? What would it change and why?

In the current season, he has scored 23 goals and provided 16 assists, leading to a total involvement in 39 goals across 58 matches. These are stats that any forward would desire, but constant negative press has focused on his missed goal opportunities, which were often created by his own playmaking and constant movement off the ball. Darwin Nuñez's case, with 39 direct goal involvements in 58 matches, is one of the most unjust and incomprehensible in football. Hopefully, he moves to a team or league that appreciates his talent.

Liverpool fans stuck by him the most, almost 2 seasons of these stinky performances and yet we still supported him and sang his name. What he’s done is nothing short of embarrassing. He can’t handle a little criticism I wonder how he would feel when he goes to Spain. They won’t be easy on him there.

Nunez not feeling supported is insane if its true, there's never been a player who gets more support for doing less. He closes the keeper down and everyone in the ground sings his name.

I think the true issue here is that of the attacking 3 only Salah is a true finisher. As much as I love Lucho, his lack of goals is the one glaring problem in the pitch, but it's "okay" because he's just a winger, not a striker. If Darwin had clinical finishers at his left and right the whole attacking trident could play more interchangeably and be a real menace but sadly it's not the case and since Mo's injury we're left with a very inconsistent attack.

what i don’t get is why klopp played him so little to end the season, maybe he felt bad for gakpo having been a bench player for most of the season but nunez is clearly a player who thrives from playing consistently. After he scored a brace against newcastle to win 2-1 he was the first choice striker right until the start of april where he was starting and coming off early or being brought on for the last 20 mins. Notice how his form before newcastle and after april fell off, cus he wasn’t comfortable in being a starter so he was trying too hard

I believe in him. Will come good. Next year will be his year.

Darwin is part of the reason why Liverpool were in the title race for such a long amount of time. With him gone, who's gonna rack up the xThreat & g/a...? Diogo 'injured 60% of the matches' Jota, an ageing Salah and Cody Gakpo? Arne Slot's gonna have a headache. Darwin needs to click or there won't be a title challenge next season. I'd like to see him on the left but that's also the only position where Gakpo offers anything.

Darwin is still the 2nd best player in Liverpool in terms of total xG, and 1st in xG by 90", meaning he's getting in those chances, contrary to the other players, who are not, besides Salah, who is also underperforming

The real story should be how Benfica has fucking finessed all these clubs with these pathetic players. Branding them high potential guys that have all been busts.

I’m not blaming him for not being a good enough. I do blame the staffs for thinking he will be a good signing. Buying him is the equivalent of spending just to decrease your own attacking quality, basically self-inflicted. If I were a rival fan I would be so happy for him staying, because it means Liverpool will invest more time on him rather than having someone new who can improve their team.

I like him, he has the passion I expect from a player, wish Virgil had that type of passion playing

Media will still talk about him and Hojlund about having massive potential and give them time to become top strikers. But then for Jackson who outperforms them in a brand new young inexperienced team is not good enough and will be replaced Jackson is half the price as well

Our fans have always supported him. Having said that this is is second season and we can't rely on him to score. Salah and Jota have been the main goal threats but it seems we can't keep Jota fit. I love Lucho but he's been off the boil this year. Maybe Slot can get a tune out of them? As far as this season and next ABC is the theme. I'm so fed up of their dominance and jammyness. The Prem has become boring. The Prem is becoming the Bundesliga. Hopefully Liverpool or Arsenal can be the Bayer Leverkusen to stitch them up.

Just because he plays for Liverpool, don't be scared to call Nunez a flop

The price tag attached can create anxiety.

I'm one of those fans that always chant "NUNEZ! NUNEZ! NUNEZ!" every single time he takes a shot, but with our strikers all slumping, we desperately need someone to step up. I guess we expected him to give his all, since we have supported him all through thick and thin, even being ridiculed by rival fans for still propping him up. But lately you can feel that his heart is not there anymore for whatever reason, so we just stopped doing the chant. Also doesnt help that we are being let down by the whole squad with our recent form, Klopp deserves much more than this. We give Salah the same shit, with the shithousery he pulled on the boss in the West ham game. We will defenitely chant Darwin again if he shows fire and get off his arse and keeps trying. It's a bit weird he chose to react by deleting his Liverpool posts, but you can never know what a man is going through internally, so until he actually hands in a transfer request, we will always support him.

Darwin should have been managed well, he got stuck in a situation where Klopp is leaving, everyone is emotional, we are struck with injuries. It left Klopp with no choice but to start him in games. He was doing okay but I feel his impact was always better when he came off the bench. Due to all this chaos around him unfortunately he crumbled and couldn't keep him calm while scoring. A bit harsh on him but it's very unfortunate. He was called on this big stage to perform when clearly wasn't ready, everybody knew it including Klopp but we know no one had a choice. It's also true he has been given a lot of time to settle and by this time he should have given the quality of our team. It is what it is I guess

I mean 11 goals 8 assist. I know he's underperformed consider his price, and also he misses a lot of chance. But says if liverpool sell him for 65 millions , can we really find his replacement for that amount of money that will be better than 20 goal contribution. Not to mention he's a handful for defender. If we find striker from other league then there's no guarantee he'll adapt well. If we looking in the league right now there're probably a couple striker that is remotely possible solanke, watkins, tony. I don't think watkin will move for anything less than 80-100m villa don't want to sell him, solanke might cost less but 18 goals 3 assist doesn't really an improvement from nunez, toney sound good but last season that's his best season he score 20 and 4 assists good number but not really a for sure improvement . All 3 are older than nunez, he's only 24 there's still time to develop. I love his passion I love his work rate his inconsistency can be improve it's already improve quite a lot from last year. If you go and look at how he control the ball last season compare to this season in the same type of situation (liverpool channel got a clip of his counter attack comparing 2 season) his control of the ball is better and also his pass. People try to compare him with Mane or Firmino but Mane is one of the best forward in premier league in his prime, Firmino is a whole different kind of player and also the best in his role for a couple of year We spoiled by a great frontline for so long that we set this stupid standard for the player. Mancity's Julian Alvarez is the same age as him, got pretty much a same stat for goal contribution, play pretty much the same amount of game yet nobody seem to point finger at him. His performance got magnify by the media because he missed chances, that's not good but it's over criticized. As a Liverpool fan we love having him at the club but if he thinks moving out is better for his career and probably his mental state then we wish them all the best. Just sad that we'll lose an amazing player that in my opinion been a victim of the media.

«I’ve got so far, but in the end it doesn’t even matter.»-Darwin Nunez probably

Y’all should leave Darwin Nunez alone, Liverpool fans have always been supporting him, don’t know why he took it to personal this time by the small group of fans that didn’t. He’s lucky his playing for Club like Liverpool, if it was Barcelona, Chelsea, United or even City, I don’t think they will be patient like us.

Great comparison

Its the whole tean not just him alone🙀

Can you do a video on Goncalco Ramos and a new look PSG with no Mbappe

Maybe because he was not meant to be a striker. He can exceed as a winger. We know he can assist.

New liverpool standard. Dont need goals wins trophies. Chaos ball is enough. Chaos ball is life 😂😂😂

Anyone sending him abuse or hateful messages isn’t a real supporter of the club, that behavior is disgusting and shouldn’t be tolerated. In terms of his future, I think we have to sell him, this has not worked and it’s clear it never will, he just isn’t clinical enough to be anything more than a super sub from the bench, we can’t rely on him as the main striker. There are too many matches we have drawn or lost where he could’ve scored but didn’t (Luton and Man United off the top of my head). Its time we say goodbye to Mo and also cut short this Nunez experiment, bring in new attackers with Gakpo on the left from now on

If we were to compare him to haaland and mbappe, them 2 have shown they are clinical finishers for more than 2 seasons whereas Darwin has not for a top side

He will bounce back. Have faith

Felix, Enzo were demons also at Benfica 😂 😂 😂

I understand how statistics can be a quick and easy way to assess a player as it’s empirical evidence. We’re always taught the value of data and how it can help us draw conclusions… but what happened to watching football with our eyes? What happened to appreciating the quality a player brought because they were entertaining? I feel like there is this theme of numbers in football now (primarily England) where a player’s quality is not in their entertainment value, work ethic, or overall play, but instead goals and assists. It seems like every player in the premier league is a flop this season, but then they score a goal and suddenly they’re having a “break out” season. Then, they have a “stinker” and go back to being a flop. It feels like the narrative in football changes each week and people want to just get instant results to banter other clubs. My club loses this week? Sack the manager! My club wins the next week, we’re the greatest club and we never doubted it now let’s talk crap about this other club! Every player, every coach, every club doesn’t need to be measured! I kind of feel like this may go back to Ronaldo and Messi, as they were so close that we had to compare the smallest little detail in their stats and now as both of their careers come to an end we are grasping at straws to recreate the utter joy both players brought us. I don’t know, this is just how I feel about football nowadays. It doesn’t excite me as much anymore. Anyways, this was just a thought that turned into a tangent, thanks for reading! Also, Canadian, Portuguese, and Benfiquista🇨🇦🇵🇹🦅

Suarez had less success the first 2 seasons at Liverpool than Nunez. Look what legacy he has🇺🇾

Throwing tantrums on social media..... he would be a perfect fit for Manchester United.

He doesn’t score against the top teams so his G/A is misleading. Assists are such a misleading stat nowadays it’s not like Darwin is threading through balls or great crosses. He’s had 2 “assists” where he simply miscontrolled the ball

I also think Liverpool function better with a false 9, so Diaz and Salah can get in behind. I think he'd work best as a super sub battering ram, obviously he's not going to be happy to settle with that though.

I say this as a Villa fan and with all love, he will score this weekend. It’s what happens with Villa.

Klop should ask Nunez to aim for the corner flag and maybe he should get some goals then 😅

I do think that we can do without him but remember he plays better for Uruguay he is a good player just that move didn’t work

Darwin needs to grow up. If he can't handle the current criticism (despite ppl vehemently defending him, even now), he won't last 6 months at Barca or Real, who i dooubt wants him anyway.

It is funny that Liverpool fans are either portrayed as delusional people who will keep sticking with underperforming players and overhype them, or criticised for not sticking with underperforming players like Nunez. If the criticism is the reason he deleted those posts, I hope someone put an arm around him, took him to the side and reminded him of the fact that he consistently hears his name chanted even when he misses chances.

Every player seems to be great at positioning but can’t finish , it happened with Mane too, seems like a coaching error…

He is yet far from being a proficient finisher when facing goalkeepers and defenders of top quality. The guy was not emotionally ready to become the main star of a club like Liverpool, given the fact he had some skills to polish. Deleting Liverpool pictures or acting offended is the kind of behavior you would expect from someone that didn't yet develop a strong emotional shell. Others would turn frustration into food to fuel will to improve. Sadly it seems like Darwin's performance gets too affected and specially his lack of ability to overcome bad situations becomes a vicious circle for him. I really would love to see him grow and improve. He has some astonishing physical skills that would make him a top player if he can get over emotional lows.

I support him, he needs to stop worrying about social media and develop some mental toughness. His real problems are composure and a lack of football intelligence - strikers going through on goal and blasting the ball at the keeper are like children, not elite players at 25 years of age. Yeah he puts effort into running hard but sadly, I don’t think he will ever come good, his striking instincts are terrible.

In his first 2 years at Liverpool Darwin has produced virtually the same numbers as Bobby Firmino and has produced more than Luis Suarez in his 2nd season at Liverpool. They are/were 24 in their second season. Bobby and Suarez also had trouble finishing and missed a TON of shots. With time, all of that changed. Same thing will happen with Darwin. The only question is will Darwin do it for Liverpool or against Liverpool. Choose wisely.

I think Darwin has more goals in his second season than Suarez had score in his second

You could say Darwin is evolving....
