Topic: Darwin Núñez (Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro)

[Ghost Town]

It's amazing how I never realised that we bought Haaland. despite this, his thead, being the Liverpool section and everything. I do think they should put Haaland's name in it though, being as it's his thead.

Whatever you do, don't compare him to Nunez.

[Red_Mist]

I think when his fortunes change, they change dramatically, quickly and for the better. I hope, no feel, that a turning point is not far away for him. The pressure lifts off his shoulders once the net has rippled a couple of times. He’s then very dangerous and defenders will hate playing against a confident Darwin Nuñez.

I patiently await for the Premier League to be renamed the Haaland League also. The love fest from our fans is starting to make me cringe, he is a c*nt playing for a bunch of utter c*nts.

Nunez is going to be better. Maybe.

Any similarities between nunez and a young lewandowski?

[lollysportswasher]

Put someone like Maddison behind Nunez and he will score goals, problem is we don't have midfielders like De Bruyne in our team. Most Haaland goals were tap ins, he's not a striker that can create chances on his own.

He had a whole bunch of chances against Rangers without De Bruyne behind him.

Darwin is the big lewandowski.

Whole bunch of half chances.

[BER]

'against Rangers' and he was still having to work his bollocks to get those chances. It's undeniable we are in desperate need of more creativity in the side.

Why do people keep saying this when Salah is probably a better chance creator than Maddison...

Where do we fit that creativity in?

Key would be that 10 role if we have the double pivot in CM.

Think we lack a Silva type more in midfield if we're talking AD players,high energy athletism and non stop 2-way running harassing opposition buildups and helping defenders,think we'd get the ball to Nunez and the other forwards more often with player of that type in the team.

Obviously as hard to find someone like that as a creative passer with a balanced skillset.

Against a line of 4 midfielders and 5 defenders with us only having worked on the new shape for 1 hour in a single training session.  I don't think that's any sort of sample size that we can draw anything from.

But I do agree it's better to have a more creative playing in the 10 position.  Jota and Bobby are both shadow strikers and I'd much rather see Elliott given a go there.  Salah would probably do a really good job there too but then we lose too much on the right wing.

[PIPA23]

The difference between Nunez and Haaland is KDB.

maybe in the Premier League, it might be the case...

but we can not ignore Halland's numbers for Dortmund, Salzburg, the Champions league.. and Norway NT.

if he Halland stayes healthy, he will break all-time football records.

[RedForeverTT]

I hope Klopp start with him on Sunday. It would be confidence crushing for him to go back to the bench.

[didi shamone]

Wonder if we'll ever get through one page without mentioning the love child of Ian Dowie and Brienne of Tarth.

fair enough that he didn't score against rangers but he created loads of chances so he's trying the poor fella

one minute he looks class the next he can't pass 5 yards - got to give him more playing time

[ToneLa]

I still reckon he's better than Haaland

I mean in a fight Nunez could do a job

I also, on a bad day, if Void Club created tap-ins all game I'd manage one or two here and there

Our setup is not comparable. A striker 9 is new and takes time to bed in. He had his Moment of Madness and now he's back to learning the system

Reckon he will be boss in about eighteen months

I can wait that long.

Klopp on Nunez: "One of the things he's shown in the games he's played is that he gets himself into so many good finishing positions so everyone should be optimistic about what is coming."

Exactly, and who would argue with the great man's logic!!  He'll come good, be it later in the season (given games) or next season, I have faith in him.  See I can go a who conversation in this thread without mentioning Haaland.

Can't believe Klopp is comparing him to Haaland.

Can't believe the is comparing him to Haaland.

I know, Alf Inge was a totally different style of player.

I'm all for getting behind our players but stop with the silly talk. Nunez isn't better than Haaland by any stretch of the imagination. Good grief.

[Ghost Town]

Sociologists have remarked upon what they believe is the world's newest religion, Haalandism, which, surprisingly, has developed in the most unlikely of places, a Liverpool FC fan forum, according to Reuters.

"As with many religious systems heirophants spend a lot of time going around upbraiding infidels who dare to blaspheme against the Erlmighty" said one expert, while another remarked that "Even by the standards of some other religious systems, this one is particularly shite, showing as it does a type of forelock tugging lack of backbone towards the Mancssiah that makes even Jehovah's Witnesses point and laugh"

However one scientists admits that he is baffled by the occurance of multiple miracles at the hands of adherents of Haalanism. "Frankly I'm baffled," said the professor of an Ology who preferred to remain anonymous. "These followers of Haalandism clearly have divine powers. Forget water, they can take almost anything and turn it into whine"

The Archbishop of Canterbury was unavailable for comment as he was busy playing alto sax at a blues club in Camden.

How long do you guys think it will take for Nunez to start converting the chances he gets?. Sounds like he is getting in the right positions and seemingly most shots going on target as well.

[DelTrotter]

We really get it, it's been mentioned probably 500-600 times already in here.

Once he gets confident. Like you say he's getting into the positions which is great. Last season he was clipping one over Ali's head, bending a shot into the corner. Lovely composure, a player who was in full flow, just looked natural, needs to find that again.

[Fromola]

When he gets a run in the side. He's started 2 games for us and barely lasted one half in the first one.

I think he'd benefit greatly from Elliott or Carvalho in the side, but it's difficult to see who they start over in this 4-2-4 formation. I know Klopp is adamant it was a 4-2-3-1, but if that's the case, Jota was far more advanced than you'd expect Elliott to play.

See, you might get it, and yet there's still posts coming through every once and a while saying things like Haaland is only good cus he plays for City or that KDB is the reason Haaland is "better" than Nunez, so clearly there's quite a few who can't help but compare him to Haaland.

Twats.

Three times in one post. Almost as prolific as the man himself.
Not sure why you have to bring Nunez into it.

This really is the worst example of an inferiority complex I can remember within my time in football fandom. Pretty shameful stuff. No dignity or fortitude at all from many here.

[K-B-K]

I just don't think you understand my point, it's literally that your problem is people bringing him up when I'm literally saying to stop comparing the two all the time? You're basically arguing the same point I am.

[killer-heels]

Its too late. Our fans have been bantered into submission. Ultimately when Nunez starts scoring and/or we start winning, it may dissipate.

Extremely overdramatic, pure hyperbole.
