    Suarez finsihed his first full season with 11 goals in the league and 17 in all comps. Darwin is on 9 in the league and 15 in all comps.

    Suarez also had the advantage of a half season to settle in prior to that first full season.

    Not comparing them skillwise, but in terms of goal return vs minutes played Nunez is doing well enough during his settling in season.

    Still think that if played up front in a functioning team that he would score a bucketload for us.

        How much would you sell him for this summer?

        He's far from settled, I'm not sure it's worth waiting to find out if he does, with the players infront of him in the pecking order. Sell and reinvest

          I think he has more to offer than what he's shown so far. I'm also not sure who'd buy him right now without us making a huge loss. Just please no ****in loan to Juventus or some **** like that.

            Wouldn't have won that game without his input.

                  Not writing him off just yet but yeah….not sure. Some of his decision making isn’t great, his touch is poor and his finishing again pretty crap. Hopefully after a good pre season etc. and some confidence he’ll be a lot better next year.

                    He was so bad last night. Looks like his confidence has regressed to where it was earlier in the season. I think he's an ill-fit tbh but would be happy to be proved wrong. Suspect he'll get next season and if he doesn't improve - a lot - then he'll be gone next summer.

                      Well the team have completely stopped playing to his strengths haven't they. When he's come on in previous games it just been aimless punts upfield hoping he can latch onto them. This game we created nothing for him to even have the chance to **** up the finish. Cant remember one decent ball getting played to him last night other than the little ball through where he was running away from goal and slipped as he kicked it? Its quite clear he's not an intricate build up, one touch player.

                      Earlier in the season he was getting multiple good chances per game. The side were looking to play quick passes in behind and crossing to him in the box when he's not being marked by 3 players. Now he just gets scraps. **** hopeful, aimless punts upfield from Hendo/Robbo et al. Slow crosses that give him absolutely no chance. The one time he got a good one was the other game when Trent played a little ball over the top and he scored a ****ing goal would you believe!

                      I think we've just ****ed him around so much trying to shoehorn him into the side that his confidence has just been completely killed now. He's drifting all over the place on the pitch. If we're going to keep playing this way then I have no idea why we bought him tbh. More ****house transfer business from the powers that be, just like signing Carvalho and making the kid sit on the bench every game.

                        Agree with that - we've not helped his confidence at all. He looks like the archetypal confidence player and he's completely shorn of it at the moment.

                          If we have to sell to buy, he won't be here next season; if not as Shags says he'll get next year.

                          Although he doesn't look a great fit for us at present; very very frustrating last night & also noticed on separate occasions Mo, TAA, Gakpo & Diaz all loked irritated with his movement (or lack of the right movement).

                            Honestly, in all my years supporting this club, I have never seen a player take this much criticism and laser like focus on his every touch during a game. From day one at preseason. Every single time he touches the ball there's this expectation that it will be perfect and if not...straight onto the forums or social media to have a whinge From not only our own fans but opposition fans too. I just don't get it.
                            The pressure that's been put on him as a result is absurd for a young player coming to a new country not speaking a lick of the language. Is it the price? Or peoples frustration that we as a club turned to **** in the space of one summer window and he's the scapegoat?, or people enviously watching the Super Mutant at City cheat code his way to the record books and asking why cant Nunez do that? Its perplexing.

                              Well I’m just watching us play and regretting that we bought a donkey as our main summer signing.

                              Ultimately, all of the potential mitigations and explanations are rather moot, it’s elite sport, you either do it or you don’t.

                                This headline throws another slant (not that I’ve read the article) interesting stat tho.

                                His tally of nine Premier League goals [one every 181 minutes] is unspectacular, but with 15 goals in all competitions he is only two adrift of Luis Suarez’s overall tally during his first full season at Liverpool in 2011-12, as per
