Well that is what is happening - but whenever it is pointed out that elements of his game that could do with sharpening up you get lambasted with a ‘Salah missed the other day and nobody mentioned that’ etc etc.

Nunez has a high ceiling ability. Wise and he is nowhere near the top of his potential yet.

And he’s still doing ok.

That doesn’t mean I hate him, I want no to fail. I prefer when we are losing. He is streaky but he is still relatively young.

If we are saying g this is the best version of Nunez and he won’t get better or find more consistency then I disagree I think he is capable of much more.

If and when he has ten shots and none go in it seems it’s not possible to comment on that without all of what you said happening. It’s not a pile on. It’s worthy of discussion.

I wouldn't mind a link to this forum where people are so polite and reasoned.

I honestly think the type of extreme posts and posters you refer to are few and far between and there are many more on the opposite end of the spectrum, just as culpable of killing any proper discussion.

Anyway, this is hardly conducive to good debate either, so best leave it here. I just thought it was a well taken goal and only commented on it because I'm bedbound, didn't think I'd still be explaining myself 24 hours later.

That's just not true. The praise he gets pales in comparasson to the criticism he gets for any minor setback.

Happened in preseason, scores consistently for fun, first chance he misses, 'typical Nunez'.

Same two weeks ago, scores 3 games running, was best attacker against Luton but misses one easy chance, 'same old Nunez'.

Sure as night follows day, any missed chance will be followed up with an avalanche of comments such as, erratic, no composure, one way of shooting, only laces it, useless when he has time to think, etc.

Surely then, if people think he's incapable of a certain skill set, it's worthwhile discussing the possibility that maybe he is developing and highlighting evidence of this on the pitch? And is saying that his goal was a good finish and that he meant it really that ott?

+1
I swear some people are happier when we're doing badly.

As long as he keeps putting the graft in I'm happy.

Yep count me as a +2

Nunez.

1st was a beaut.

[badpiggy]

I think the "conversation" in this thread has subconsciously made me Darwin-hesitant. My first thought when I saw that first goal was "That could have gone anywhere" ffs.

When I woke up and seen the thread bumped, I knew what it meant.

I actually prefer the second one as those are the ones that he can struggle with! What the last few matches have shown is that he's getting in all the right positions,time and time again.

I thought he did his best to miss the second one tbh it looked like it hit him in the face
