Topic: Darwin Núñez (Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro)

[Son of Spion]

He doesn't need to be a great player, he just needs to score goals and from what i've seen of him he'll be a 20 goals a year striker for us when he settles in the team. John Aldridge wasn't a great player technically but he knew where the goal was. With the sending off and the international nonsense we won't really see what he's about until after the sport washing cup in November

I'd agree with that. He doesn't need to be an all singing and dancing all-rounder. Putting the ball in the net on a regular basis is what counts. I loved Aldridge too. Just a fantastic no frills goal scorer.

I've never really watched Haarland so I might be speaking out of turn here, but I've heard plenty suggest he's not exactly an elegant swan of a player oozing with silky skills either. It just seems that he knows where the goal is and how to place a ball into it.

Some strikers are mesmerizing. I mean Suarez could blow your mind and often did, but others are no frills but just as lethal. If Nunez is one of those then I, for one, won't be complaining.

I hope he gets a start today, seems like a perfect game for a confidence boost against a physical team.

[Zlen]

Hope he doesn’t. We’re in no position to risk anything, points are desperately needed. Start with known and reliable qualities, Diaz, Jota and Mo. Nunez should get last 30 minutes and that should be enough to leave his mark on the game.

[DelTrotter]

Excited for the over analysing of every shot and touch after the game regardless of how many minutes he plays 

[Agent99]

Hopefully the dumbass comes on and scores today.

[AndyMuller]

Hopefully the dumbass comes on and scores today.

With the whole 7 mins he has came on for 

[Cruiser]

Must start against Rangers now.

No more pussyfooting around, he needs minutes on the pitch.

[tubby]

Think he definitely starts against Rangers.  We should be battering them whoever we put out, but who knows with the way this season is going.

[killer-heels]

He can barely control the ball when he plays. Jota starts.

[Samie]

Nunez is starting, it's obvious.

[killer-heels]

Nunez is starting, it's obvious.

Our attack was decent today, we scored three goals. Jota is our best striker.

Its behind that where everything has turned to shite.

Haaland is pretty elagant and technically phenomenal with electric speed, an awesome goal sense, excellent off the ball movement and able to more than contribute creatively with assists. Not to mention his height, strength and mentality.

You're simplifying a generational talent into a goal poacher. Don't think its really fair.

Also sadly don't think Nunez is anywhere near him.

I love Jota but he's scored once since April. He's not untouchable. We'll never know how well Núñez fits for us if he doesn't get games.

[killer-heels]

Does he sort out our midfield and defensive shape?

[Coolie High]

We know how well Bobby fits in, he shouldn’t play ahead of him just cause he costs 80m.

[JasonF]

Does he sort out our midfield and defensive shape?

Which of our attackers does?

[NaivetyinBlack]

You folks are so weird. Darwin isn't even in the top 10 of our problems.

[killer-heels]

Which of our attackers does?

Our attackers helped us score 3 goals today. Its behind them thats the problem.

[JasonF]

Yeah but we've got 13 games in 6 weeks. Núñez is going to play some of them and Rangers is as good a game as any.

[RedBec1993]

The fact that Nunez is being mentioned here as one of the problems is so so strange. Lad got 7 minutes. What’s he expected to do? I could list about 15 problems we have at the moment and Darwin would be nowhere near the list.

You don't get this do you, HE NEEDS TO PLAY TO GET SOME MOMENTUM.

[RedBec1993]

You don't get this do you, HE NEEDS TO PLAY TO GET SOME MOMENTUM.

We have a new scapegoat 😊 the only thing is he’s barely played to be the scapegoat.

[killer-heels]

You don't get this do you, HE NEEDS TO PLAY TO GET SOME MOMENTUM.

Momentum for what? This isnt the Darwin Nunez show, we need to win games. If we could defend or win second balls in midfield, we wouldnt even be mentioning him.

[Boston always unofficial]

It was a no win sticking him on at the end,gash move.Should of got 15-20 minutes at least.

[naYoRHa2b]

What can he do in 7 minutes.

Should of never needed him to come on.

I think it's more that we've spent a lot on a player who hasn't really changed how good we are going forward when we've got other issues. If we were going to keep Firmino and use him as much as we are then signing a striker this summer was not the best use of funds. That's not his fault, you're right, but it's going to come up around him.

Don;t be stupid... intentionally.

think KH is being taken out of context here. she was arguing against the idea that nunez is a 'must start' for rangers or today or whenever.

that isn't necessarily making him a scapegoat. our front three is where we have most stacked quality options available at the moment, and jota/firmino/nunez/carvalho could all be subjectively argued in favour of starts for various reasons

[Xanderzone]

Think he was hung out to dry by the manager today.

You either give him a proper go or you don't play him at all.

[Chakan]

People are really strange.

Who is singling him out?

[tubby]

What.  He only came on when they equalised and we had to chase a goal.  You think Klopp should've left him on the bench at 3-3, no matter how little time was left?

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

You folks are so weird. Darwin isn't even in the top 10 of our problems.

He isn't even in the top 10 of our solutions either.

We wasted 100mil, and i still don't know why.

[RedBec1993]

Who is singling him out?

If he can “barely control the ball” best get rid now hey?😂😂😂😂

It doesn’t even make sense how people can purposely misconstrue a more than decent point.

[DelTrotter]

Apart from Sadio is there anyone connected to Liverpool you've ever liked?

[Hazell]

People are really strange.

[newterp]

Why didn't he cut out that last cross or close down Trossard?

[Samie]

He isn't even in the top 10 of our solutions either.

We wasted 100mil, and i still don't know why.

I'll let you in on a little secret but keep it from the rest okay...WE DIDN'T BUY HIM FOR 100 MILLION.

Shush though, keep it on the DL.

[Solomon Grundy]

85 mill. We deal in pound sterling in this country. Btw, he is the least of our problems at the moment.
