This awe-inspiring forward could be the “mastermind” behind Slot’s system at Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp punched the air,
Trademark style, and Liverpool were victorious against a horribly out-of-sorts Tottenham Hotspur team that fell to a fourth successive defeat in the Premier League.
Liverpool entered last Sunday’s contest having fallen by the wayside in the three-horse title race, with a series of puncturing results allowing Arsenal and Manchester City to gallop ahead.
But Klopp’s cheers were no less emphatic, Anfield’s roars no less resounding. Liverpool have outthought and outfought in recent weeks but Feyenoord boss Arne Slot, soon to take to the dugout, must be giddy at the thought of getting his mitts on this sparkling group of players.
A four-goal lead was halved after a spirited Spurs fightback that saw the full-time whistle sound to the tune of the Reds’ 4-2 victory, and while the defensive frailties remain, Liverpool’s impressive attack has indeed shown signs of life once again.
Unfortunately, Darwin Nunez left with a rueful expression, knocked out of countenance after two promising late chances that came to nought.
Liverpool might replace Darwin nunez with Florian Wirtz
Liverpool’s £85m record signing from Benfica has been influential this season but every rose has its thorn and the Uruguayan’s wastefulness in front of goal is starting to pose a problem for the Anfield side.
Nunez’s situation appears to have shifted to a deeper, darker level. The 24-year-old has criticised for his poor finishing and the impact that has had on Liverpool’s fight for silverware in recent months, and he has recently deleted recent Liverpool-related pictures from his social media accounts.
What does this mean? Is this a non-story, spreading injuriously as social media narratives often do? Nunez was quick to head down the tunnel following the recent win over Tottenham, missing a big chance, stifling an attack, caught offside twice and failing with his three attempted passes during a 15-minute cameo in the late stage, as per Sofascore.
He has posted 18 goals and 13 assists across 51 outings this season and is bless with fast pace, fierce tenacity and sharp, intelligent movements.
