‘I’m Not Trying To Rain On His Parade’ Former Reds Striker Criticises Current Squad Member

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has given some advice to current member of the squad, Darwin Nunez, on his official social media. He notes that his finish against Brentford was ‘insane’ but believes he should be simplifying his game.

 

While the goal against the Bees was certainly impressive, if the Uruguayan forward wants to build on his consistency, Owen this he should try to look to find the back of the net the easy way, rather than the hard way.

While Nunez is a fantastic physical specimen with seemingly limitless room for growth in the Premier League, he often finds it difficult to remain consistent. This season, he has scored nine goals and has racked up seven assists over the course of 24 league games – fewer than Cole Palmer, Dominic Solanke and Richarlison.

Writing on his official X page [formerly Twitter], Owen said: “That finish from Darwin Nunez yesterday was insane. I can’t stop watching it. And I can’t begin to explain how difficult a skill that is. Moving at pace, the ball running away from you, being inside the box with no room for error.

 

“Incredible. BUT, it is also further proof that if he is to get closer to becoming the great player many people think he can be, he has to adapt his way of thinking. I mean, to even consider that finish is madness. It’s a 1 in 10, 2 in 10 finish at best.

“Learning to slot, dink or go round the [goalkeeper] is a far more productive way to score and will increase his chances to 4 or 5 in 10, thus massively increasing his end return. I’m really not trying to rain on his parade as that goal was pure class. But I’d rather see it when Liverpool are 3-0 up, not at 0-0.”
