Topic: Darwin Núñez (Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro)

[Rush 82]

Good for him. The world would be a much better place without social media. It's a f-in cancer to humanity

This.

Taken dickheads who've always existed and provided them with a platform that has weaponised them.
I've binned off all of my socials (twatter, insta, fakebook) a couple of years ago and am a much happier person for it.

That's definitely the way forward. Social Media is pure distraction.

What a sad state of affairs.

Hope the lad thrives even if he leaves.

I'm not sure if Darwin will get better -- but he might. I read something a while ago about how Rashford at ManU committed an offseason to work with sports specialists to analyze everything from his movements running to his technique to gain that marginal edge in his play. Maybe Darwin can do the same in some way. Who knows. I'm not sure... but I'm also not sure that Darwin would be getting so much criticism if we were still in the title race (assuming that his stats were the same). There may be some scapegoating going on.

Not sure about that. It obviously didn’t work for Rashford!

[mullyred94]

Context in that post was not abusive at all. You're just sensitive to a negative opinion to your favourite player.

Theres not been any actual abuse to Darwin in here.

Comparing a player to a donkey is not abuse?

Not sure what is then, you’re saying his useless lol.

Has nothing to do with him being my favourite player.

Yeah, social media is a cesspit. I’ve never engaged with it all that much apart from with family and close friends.
Infact, I think the only time I’ve engaged in arguments online is in the Transfer and FSG threads on here 

[robertobaggio37]

Oh he gets abused

Care to show where?

“ you’ll never walk alone “

As long as you don’t play poorly for one half of football or more. Then it’s open season

Same here, but I'm still affected because too many people get infested by the mentality of social media.
It leaks into real life attitudes and behaviour.

I’ve followed him on insta for years, he hasn’t had his comments switched on for ages for pages he doesn’t follow. It can only be the posts from the club which he gets tagged on that have comments on for pages he doesn’t follow. I’m pretty certain he’s posted pictures himself playing for us and would appear to have deleted/archived them all.

He’s obviously frustrated and he’s obviously very aware of criticism he gets online and in stadiums. Hopefully he seeks the relevant support out on how to deal with it and comes back a stronger player.

Is the right answer

[Barryg21]

Agreed. But then you just delete your entire account....
Keeping the account but only deleting  photos of the club you are employed by seems a) petty and b) disrespectful and c) another distraction the boss has to field on pressers when we should be focusing on his last few games

[duvva 💅]

Him deleting all of his LFC posts, who are still paying him a fortune, screams of disrespect to me. As fans we have largely been very patient with him, despite him missing chance after chance and making the same brain dead decisions, being caught offside constantly etc. If that’s how he feels then he can do one IMO.

It’s his fucking social media platform, he can do whatever the Fuck he wants with it. He gets far more disrespect on here compared to any action he’s taken.

Supporters in the Stadium have been and are patient with Darwin. There are quite a few on here less so. Another symptom of the social media age where everything has to be almost perfect every time

[mullyred94]

You’re telling me he hasn’t been called a donkey in here ?

[him_15]

He would be a WC striker if his finishing is a bit better.

[Draex]

Why are people arguing the semantics of abuse on here or anywhere else.

Maybe go and listen to a song and understand what YNWA means.

Criticism is fine but there are lines where you need unconditional support, like now.

[amir87]

He’s not been great recently and his confidence is clearly shot but the dissection of 10-15 sub appearances is slightly embarrassing from some of you.

[spider-neil]

When I think of Nunez I think of Moneyball (movie). They targeted a player that always made the bases. Not great at anything else but that part of his game was guaranteed. Liverpool under Edwards will very much become data-driven and I wonder if with Nunez they will crunch the numbers and conclude he will always make the team 'X' amount of chances guaranteed therefore it's worth keeping him.

Alternatively, they may crunch the numbers and conclude he doesn't score enough goals given the amount of chances he creates therefore if you bring in someone who doesn't create as much because takes more of his chances is the way to go. It's difficult to know which way it will go with Nunez. I watch international football and he looks freaking amazing for Uruguay. The talent is there so I have no problem with him being retained. Equally, I have no problem with him being moved on at the start of a new manager's journey as a new manager will have a specific type of player in mind to make his system work.

Lets have positive holiday vibes
Lets move conversation in another direction


Ignore whether he is good or bad, and should stay or should go
Assume the Barca links are real
They are skint right? So it would be a player swap, and if so who?

100m Euros they'll need to find, if his off they'll be a queue of teams lining up.

I like the idea of positive vibes and moving the conversation in another direction but,
There’s a transfer thread for this, and discussing who to replace him with isn’t really positive is it?

[Cpt_Reina]

Feel free to go read the last 30-50 pages.
 
Calling a Liverpool player a donkey is abuse imo.

Totally agree. And the way opposition fans go 'wheeeeey' when he misses a sitter is disgusting too, it needs stamping out.

Understood, and I wasnt trying to drag it further into the mud

Just thinking Gavi and Macca might be nice

That's precious.
Let's stay positive and have some fun by bickering over a carcas of our number 9's Liverpool career.

Accuse someone of being brain-dead and then demand respect. Not sure that is how it works.

I'd rather our dickhead 'fans' sending shite to our players fucking do one to be honest.

Fucking absolute fucking whoppers.
