Liverpool’s line-up changes with the signing of three new playersUnable to stop Trent Alexander-Arnold’s long ball in front, he held onto the ball on the left flank before cutting inside and firing a determined effort into the top corner from distance.
It wasn’t the first time Nunez won a game with Liverpool. But in the 12 weeks since the shocking attack, that goal has been scrapped. He scored three goals for Uruguay during the international break against Argentina and Bolivia in November, but his early try against Burnley on Boxing Day was his only goal in the last 16 games since United’s last trip to the south coast. Of course, it’s still impressive. During the drought, he provided six assists, including two in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final against Fulham, taking his season tally to 18 after 30 games. But for a striker who can cost a club-record £85m in add-ons, Nunes will once again be seen as a scorer rather than a creator.
Mohamed Salah’s absence may further increase the need for this rediscovered touch. The Egyptian is ruled out for the Africa Cup of Nations, which could keep him out until February 11, and the hamstring injury he picked up against the Pharaohs shows once again that his availability cannot be taken for granted.
He turns 32 in June, there is strong interest from Saudi Arabia and with his contract expiring in the summer of 2025, he is unlikely to stay at Liverpool forever. Sooner or later, the Reds will need a new scorer. The King of Egypt is waiting now, but Nunes could be that man. Furthermore, his Premier League tally stands at 38, with 10 stops leading to missed big opportunities in 48 appearances.He has scored 14 goals and provided 9 assists in the Premier League so far, but will be a much more dangerous animal when it all falls apart.
Klopp defended his striker’s record for most goals in front of goal, while Nunes expressed his disbelief at failing to score against Fulham in his final Premier League game before the winter break.”He’s playing great,” Klopp told reporters. “There are a lot of things I like about his game.“The first year was a year of adjustment and I picked up points here and there. But now he contributes in every game.
He was scheduled to start tonight but suffered cramps in the last game. It won’t start after 3 days.”Guys don’t start because they’ve scored or are going to score. As long as they behave themselves, I have infinite faith and trust in them. They deserve it because of the hard work they put in.”I don’t know how to explain Darwin’s situation. I am very happy with the public response. I’m very happy with Darwin’s reaction and the way he handled it. “But in this last situation we can suffer no more misfortune. It’s impossible. He does everything right, but the ball doesn’t go in. I didn’t see it again, but it was a clear goal for me, but the ball didn’t go in.”I can’t believe how this happened. Leno is a good goalkeeper.
Then he sets another goal. “It feels really special to do it again.”Nunez didn’t score a goal against the Cottagers, but the fans chanted his name when Cody Gakpo was awarded the winner. The suggestion from afar that Uruguayans are patient could not be further from the truth.
Liverpool visited Bournemouth in the form of Darwin Nunezz.It started from the last two with Toul Rouge and Nottingham Forest, and after returning from the International Service in October, it was helped for Everton. He scored two goals in World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Brazil and an assist in Brazil and has four goals and two assists in his last five games. And those performances have taken him to six goals and four assists in his last 10 games for club and country. The Uruguayan only appeared as a substitute during the away leg at the Vitality Stadium in the fourth round of the League Cup last November. He was sent on in time and ended up deciding the game in windy conditions.
He has missed 18 big chances this season and has been denied five times in the Premier League. Both are better than any other player.
