What! 6 passes! Surely that can't be true. Surely?
They are a worse team with him in it. There’s no getting away from it. If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it, and definitely don’t spend 80m trying to fix the thing that wasn’t broken. He’ll have a few patches of good form and hit a hattrick against a lesser side, but the vast majority of the games he plays, Liverpool will be easier to play against and their possession stats will go down. Having a good first touch is something you can’t learn, most professional footballers possess one from a young age but this guy doesn’t, and it’ll cause attack after attack to break down. Klopp will bench him for a while soon IMO, and Diaz Salah Jota will get Liverpool back on track.
Those that watch Portuguese football called this (@TheMagicFoolBus)
I’m so grateful we didn’t drop 100m on him.
@SportingCP96 too I think, was shocked that benficae was able to get that much.
While there is obvious a learning gap between Portuguese league and EPL, it seems that he is a much lower level version of Haaland. He is the hardworking striker who’d be perfect for a David Moyes team … 10-12 league goals a year and presses from the front.
I will agree he's not as good as Haaland but it's too early to draw conclusions about his overall quality.
Its quite obvious he’s not worth the money. Arguably half. Seems to lack basic technical ability.
He's shit, to think some including myself compared him to haland is a travesty.
Seems like any word against Nunez is considered heresy or slander. https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=352659.1520
A religious lot.
A religious lot.
They cross like crazy. He will score.
He heads like Maguire though
Which dickhead compared this donkey to Haaland
He drifts out to the LW quite a lot; did he do that in Portugal or is this something new Klopp has instructed him to do?
From Youtube compilations I noticed him being on the LW a lot at Benfica.
We were in for him.
As a club that is about to have their big money signing (Antony) scutinized heavily by the press and opposition fans maybe we shouldn't be so quick to mock others big money transfers that haven't become world class in 4 games.
And thankfully we turned him downWe were in for him.
We were in for Haaland at one time too. You win some, you lose some.We were in for him.
We’re probably a big reason why the fee is inflated. That’s what we do best.We were in for him.
The best part about all this is that he went to Liverpool. God answers prayers in mysterious ways.
The take down and shot which hit the bar was great. And people are complaining about his technique
As a United fan for 30 years I’ve seen some fantastic strikers come and go at Old Trafford, even for opposition. Ronaldo scoring a hat trick for Madrid, Drogba bullying our whole defence, Henry and his unstoppable runs etc.
I pride myself, as most United fans do, on being able to spot a great ST, from the mentality to the small stuff they do off the ball.
I only had to see about 3 games of Nunez to know he’s a fecking donkey. If we spent £85m on him I’d be fecking gutted.

Nunez had a really bad game with a couple good involvements, and thats about it. Players needing to settle in to the league is definitely a thing, but you cant be a Liverpool fan and not have a pinocchio nose if you genuinely thought (and think) that this guy will be better than Haaland. That debate has already ended
Won't forget the Liverpool fans that said he'd be better than Haaland
Don’t disrespect Lukaku by comparing the two. Lukaku is a much better player
Was deflected. Also whiffed a great opportunity in the 2nd. People have every right to critique his technique.
Nunez may have scored a lot of goals last season, and is still clearly a decent goal scorer once he gets going, and he has very good movement to get in good positions, but Antony is just a miles better footballer regardless of stats.
Antony has great technique, dribbling ability, passing ability, crossing, pressing, flair, skills, decision making etc.
I'm not even sure a 2.0 is an upgrade.
The best part about all this is that he went to Liverpool. God answers prayers in mysterious ways.
This early Scarlett? At least give this donkey a fighting chance.
Lukaku was a much better player and goalscorer at Nunez’s age. Thoroughly unfair to lump them together as a comparison
I love some of the Liverpool fans comments after the game today:
The best comment is an image of a horse trying to play with a ball, yep, they see what really happened today

Even if he gets better after today we won't forget his debutThis early Scarlett? At least give this donkey a fighting chance.
At least with Antony we have definite proof that he isn't a donkey, can't say the same about Nunez.
Shows you that even elite managers wirh so much scouting and everything these things happen. Remember veron and Sanchez.. What were we thinking
To be fair lukaku wirh gegenpress would work well. Need to shut up more though
Saw my mate the other day
Said he saw the white Lukakez
So I ask who is he, goes by the name of Núñez

Sergio Ramos gave him a concussion somehow, obviously. Poor guy.
