He has arrived
Darwin Núñez | Liverpool player | Fighter

Arrived into my FPL team
As many limitations as he has that was a superb finish.
He’s better when he doesn’t have time to think.

I’m guessing he’s the best striker in the world now?
Ah ffs..
Fecker starts scoring just before we play them!
It was a good goal but getting subbed off after 64 minutes, with his team two goals down… that’s pretty humiliating, right?
He’s such a strange player. Give him a simple one on one from 10 yards out and he looks like he’s never kicked a ball in his life, yet that goal today was fantastic technique.
Why would he finish like that anyway?did he mistime his run?
So hard to gain consistency when you have that finishing from a near enough tap in position

Great goal. Still not convinced.
He's scared of facing GK
Better just flick facing away from goal. Good goal. Fooled Courtois completely.Great finish but another poor match, gave the ball away a lot and broke down a lot of attacks with his decision making, no supplies to see him come off.
Thought he was poor overall tonight. Scored a good goal but wasn't really involved much. Gakpo had a much better game in the first half.
His first touch seemed really inconsistent with quite a few really heavy touches on easy passes to him.
Not sure why Klopp kept swapping his and Gakpo best position though. Make little sense tactically.
There are quite a few centre forwards that rely on instinct rather than an innate analysis of where to put the ball into the onion bag.
Ruud for example would analyse where he was and what he had to do and would (more often than not) pass the ball into the net:
Nunez opts to smash the ball even when a better option is available. He’s a level below the best centre forwards but he’ll still do ok for the most part and will occasionaly score a blinder or miss an absolute sitter.
it takes a special talent to be entirely calm in the crucial moments: Nunez doesn’t have it but very few people do.
He was crap aside from that brilliant goal. Vini on the opposite end showed the advantage of having a LW that can control a football under pressure and isn’t just a raging bull.
Seen ETH play our players successfully out of position, thought I'll have some of that.
Has that knobber stopped singing songs about him?
Something is good with him but can't figure out what that is. He isn't a donkey as everyone suggests.
Speed, stamina, athleticism, daring attitude (trying thing). Technically he's inconsistent, not supreme gifted, but he's not flawed. His biggest flaw is decision making. Not sure he's a good learner because despite it seems easy, but it's difficult to actually learn to make correct decision under pressure on the pitch.

Fred scored with a similar flicked finish the other week.
He still seems like the type of player who accidentally scores goals.
He’s a great athlete but not a good footballer. Hence donkey.
Moving him out to the wing was the smartest move by Klopp b/c he struggled at the 9 dealing with two CB's and has more room and freedom on the wing
he's still a fuking scouse cvnt though

Kind of like how pigeons are accidentally birds.
He's actually quite good isn't he? I actually feel he would have been amazing under ETH performing the role Weghorst currently is at a higher level. Pressing monster.
Definitely the player we need to pay special attention to on Sunday.

He's average.
I don't think he is suited for posession based football. He is actually the inverse Wout, not good at linking things and first touch but much better at the rest, so I really don't get your comparison
He'd no doubt be better than Weghorst but he's still pretty average overall as a player. Maybe Liverpool will get a Benni McCarthy type in to transform his finishing because that's his main issue at the moment, he has 0 technique in front of goal. He'll never been a top technical player and the wing experiment won't work in a top side, but if he could find some technique and composure in front of goal consistently he could certainly be a very good striker (don't think it'll happen, but who knows)
AWB will pocket him on Sunday.
He's ok. Decent bench option for a club with aspirations.
Needs watching Sunday ….he’s starting to click
1 goal in the league since 11th of December
Just on the thread title change, you might as well have put "water is wet"
He’s looked decent last couple of games
But he doesn’t score! I don’t even think he played that well v Wolves.
They look so fragile and unsure. Nunez not scoring, missing chances and technique has simply been normalised.
It has got the makings of cult hero doing something random but I’m hoping it’s Weghorst
You mean like Dirk Kuyt scoring a hat trick from a total distance of about 5 yards, or Silvestre scoring a brace?
Diego Forlan springs to mind
Yep, it’s primed for someone to earn a chant come Monday morning.
