Darwin Núñez

[SB]

His running off the ball is chasing chaos. He’s constant threat. The runs he makes happen so quickly he is inadvertently straying offside. His sped is causing our players problems, if they could just make the passes a split second quicker he would be offside and so clear of the defenders

His close play in tight situations has really improved in the last months

We have one hell of a player and the keyboarders and sofa supporters should just listen to the crowd and learn. He is adored by the crowd and is one hell of a player

100%

[Venton]

I've only got around to watching the Burnley match and he did well. Some nice crosses and a fantastic header. Definitely getting better. Still needs to time his runs a bit better but otherwise he was great.

I think the offside thing was blown well out of proportion. He went through a spell where he kept getting caught out but I think it was a mental thing due to form and frustration. It definitely wasn't a major issue last year and I think I posted before that he wasn't offside even once in first 10 or so matches this year. Now he's just back to the norm for a last shoulder CF, some go his way, some don't.

Getting harder to deny that he's an absolute Legend though.

I think if you asked most CBs he faces, they’d rather he not play.

Everyone knows about his pace and how he likes to run in behind and shoot quick.

I feel like just by him being on the field, the oppositions backline has to factor in that and is therefore more likely to leave space for others because they are worried about Darwin getting in behind

Yeah that’s spot on actually. And look even when he’s not scoring he’s providing assists & 100% effort every single time. It’s not hard to see why the fans are singing his name so much.

[DerKrampus]

"We'll support any player that at least puts in 100% effort"

Darwin puts in 100% effort.

"We'll support any player that contributes to the team"

Darwin contributes assists when not scoring.

"He's not scoring enough goals"

Third top club scorer this season.

"Not sure if Darwin will ever be good enough"

Fans move the goal posts more than Darwin hits them.

[Norbs]

Was his withdrawal tactical?

[Buzzo]

Has to have been precautionary. No way he gets subbed tactically after that goal.

[Scratch]

Got to have been precautionary rather than tactical, surely?

[Mr Pink]

I reckon he’d used 2 of his sub windows, and didn’t want to make a triple sub in the second half so brought the first one he’d planned forward 15 min or so.

[rudedog]

Klopp said Nunez felt something so they decided not to risk him for the second half

[Kenneth]

Anyway, great run, plenty of time to overthink it but he lobbed the prick Great goal.
