His characteristics don't remind me of peak Torres at all. Some of his finishing reminds me of Chelsea Torres though.
2007-2009 Fernando Torres shits all over Darwin Nunez. He was a pretty complete forward.
I was talking about their style, physique and approach to the game. Most people here also just know EPL Torres.
Torres was a player that missed chances left and right his whole carreer, that also had exceptional scoring seasons.
He also played with an urgency that sometimes made him look even "clouncy", yet that urgency made him be part of multiple scoring occasions that for me is an extremely important asset for any forward, no matter if he scores or not.
He always gave his 110%, he could score a wonder and miss some silly goal in the sdame match.
Both aren't technical marvels, for instance Suarez overall game (intelligence, witt/ cunning, traits and technical ability) was better.
Yet Torres and Darwin still had/ have very good technique with exceptional size and power. Both play with great intensity and generosity.
If Darwin some day will have Torres's Pool excellent season, if he someday he'll have that fair share of clutch moments in NT and Club like Torres had, we don't know. Right now with his current lack of goals against big boys, the odds obvisously won't be on his side, yet the similar traits are there to be seen.
Darwin is young, but not exactly super young for this forward/striker role, Fernando had his best season in Pool at 23/24...it would be a great stepping stone to deliver in these next games in great fashion to assure Liverpool a title a way to build a better carreer from there.
