But, following Cascarino’s advice, the title is still a long way off for Liverpool and only Nunes can decide. “If Liverpool want to win the title, they must play like Darwin Nunes did in his native Uruguay,” he warned in a recent Times column.“His form in the World Cup qualifiers was amazing.
Núñez looks like the perfect number 9, scoring goals, connecting the game and chasing defeats against the best teams in the world, including Argentina and Brazil. But there is something wrong with Liverpool and most teams wouldn’t win the title with an unlucky number nine.” The pundit recalled his experience at Millwall when his manager presented him with a Republic of Ireland shirt in front of his team-mates and told him to play for the club immediately after the international break. “Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp should try something similar with Nunes.” “He should feel the most important man in Uruguay, but a manager can only do so much.
“The biggest problem is with Nunes himself. First of all, he is offside too often for a player of his ability and pace. No need to thinly slice it multiple times. He displays a gritty attitude in front of goal and also puts in a surprising display when the opportunity arises. “Núñez needs to pull himself together or Liverpool’s title challenge could be in ruins.”
The number nine has not scored in the league since the end of October and has come close to scoring on several occasions since then. His Premier League totals to date are 4 goals and 5 assists.
Former Premier League striker Tony Cascarino says Liverpool will not win the title this season if Darwin Nunes fails to deliver.According to the results of the 16th week of the season, Jurgen Klopp’s students took first place. Arsenal are second, one point behind, Aston Villa third and Manchester City fourth, four points behind the Reds.
