After removing the remark, Darwin Nuñez seemed to address his missed open goal in the 5-1 victory over Toulouse.
The Uruguayan striker for Liverpool made another strong showing for the Reds on Thursday night, scoring his team’s third goal of the game and his fifth goal overall this season.
After a mixed first season at Liverpool, the number nine has improved with another impressive performance.Before the match, Jurgen Klopp stated that the striker was finally playing at his best and that the former Benfica player no longer needed time to adjust.On the 65th minute, Nuñez had the opportunity to tie the score against Toulouse, but he missed the goal when he wrapped around the keeper and struck the post. The miss didn’t really matter because Ryan Gravenberch was there to finish off the rebound.
Following the encounter, Klopp praised Nuñez’s play, saying he ‘couldn’t care less’ about the lone mistake.
He performed brilliantly,” stated Klopp. “To be honest, I don’t really care that he makes the shot at that particular time because the entire preceding argument was quite strong and convincing.
It was a fantastic situation the way he past the goalie and took the defender away. He was an excellent player.
“The goal he scored, the scenarios he played in, his drop into midfield, his ball handling skills—all of these things. There were many positive things, and he’s in a good place right now, which is obviously significant to us. Extremely happy for him regarding the performance.
“Yes, it’s a little comedic that the ball doesn’t go in, but it’s fantastic that Ryan finished it off. He’s a happy boy or guy right now, and you can see it every day, as I stated before the game. We now need to ensure that it remains that way.
