Darwin Núñez

[Frog83]

Still not sure why we chose him, Pep suggested it was because of how he played against us but that seems like an odd measure when he’s never going to play against us.

Today, the one off the bar was impressive, everything else has been garbage so far. Klopp must have an idea of how he wants the team to play with Nunez up top but the players clearly don’t. Time will tell whether they will learn, and whether the approach is effective. Worrying start though.

I think there's a quality player in there somewhere but based on the amount we spent I'd be expecting much better than what he's shown so far. Should not be starting games and should not be the focal point of our attack. Should be used for sub appearances for a plan B approach (like Origi) and used primarily in domestic cups.

Can those saying he cant control a ball point out a specific moment in that game, because other than a header that he miss (which every ****ing player on the ****ing planet does) and a scuffed shot, he didnt do much wrong from what i saw + the Torresesque shot that T-rex clawed onto the bar.

That shot really did deserve to end up in the back of the net. Just needs a few goals to give him some confidence, and a decent supply would help with that too.

Have to love him!

Probably because they’d been scouting him a while and then last season he popped up with 30+ goals. Klopp said it himself though immediately after he signed. He’s still a work in progress in a big way.

His price tag is the problem though, you’d expect more for 60-80 mil but a lot of that value is reflecting his potential.

Time will tell but it’s clear neither Diaz nor Nunez will not immediately be able to replace the value that Mane brought to the team.

He a bit annoying isn't he? Feels like he needs to grow up

Bet you didn’t mind Alisson mocking Pickford’s time wasting in the last derby

Not at all, it was great

He's played 4 games (I don't think he's had a full 90 either) and scored 2 goals and we're putting his goal scoring record under scrutiny? ****ing ridiculous. You'd swear he had a Crouch like start with Carroll like performances. Not sure what people were expecting, a hatrick in every game?

I don’t think people are scrutinising his goal scoring at all. More so that he looks a ‘bit raw’ because sometimes his touch isn’t as consistent as one might expect for a 60-80 million pound signing.

He looks dangerous and is getting into great positions but he is very raw and a bit excitable on the ball.

Yeah, right now he is trying a bit too hard, which is understandable. Give it a few more weeks and I expect we will see what he is about.

I actually thought he was fine yesterday. He didn't get rattled and did a bit of winding up himself. Every shot hit the target and he worked hard from the centre to that left channel. He's still a bit raw and they all need to learn each others game.

that’s not true. Stats I’ve found vary but say either six or seven shots and two on target.

[Buzzo]

He had two headers that missed yesterday.

The red card has upset his rhythm and integration, so hopefully he can kick on from here. He still looks like he is learning the systems.

Klopp made a comment on him needing to work on his English also. Being able to communicate is going to be huge.

He also scuffed one wide with his left.
