A well-documented weakness (in terms of technical short-comings (which can't always be remedied or planned around), and also unsophisticated decision-making (which can be improved with coaching and experience)). You get the sense that everything is sped up in his mind — and there's an acute need for him to be calmer (especially when pressed), consistent with his application, and more judicious with his on-the-ball choices in the final third because a lot of Benfica's attacks come to a screeching halt as a direct consequence of of his miscalculations. Won't ever be a Benzema-esque savant in that regard, but hopefully, much of it will come together as Núñez continues to evolve — and his brain catches up with his Håland-lite physical gifts. For the short term, he should mostly be deployed as a center forward who presses from the front while making frantic line-breaking runs to stretch and disrupt opposition defenses as that's his foremost strength (could be a viable final point for the combined creativity of Sancho and Fernandes from that standpoint); and not expected to be a pristine focal-point-of-attack striker who accentuates the games of others around him as a playmaker and is a significant factor in the collective build up scheme. Almost like a Lukaku/Vardy hybrid, when you think about it.
