Jurgen klopp has praised darwin nunez’s progress in liverpool, highlighting areas where the striker can improve as his barren goalscoring streak extends to ten matches.
During the drab 0-0 draw with manchester united at anfield on sunday, the uruguayan’s number of games in which he has failed to score double figures. it comes after a slow start to the season, when he was liverpool’s most expensive player.
Although there were moments of brilliance, there were also moments of madness, including his sent off for violent conduct on his anfield bow against crystal palace after headbutting joachim andersen.
Nunez started the season on a promising start, scoring seven goals in 14 games. But nunez’s career has been ruined by rash finishing, and he hasn’t found the back of the net for the reds since scoring a stunning winner in the carabao cup on november 1james milner, who left brighton & hove albion in the summer, expressed his excitement for his career at anfield in an interview with amazon prime sport last season.
Klopp has expressed his delight with the positive changes made to uruguay’s overall game in an interview that just recently emerged, but also highlighted the work that remains to be done. “milly didn’t play together with dominik szoboszlai, ryan ryan gravenberch, and all the others, but they have a lot of potential as well,” the liverpool manager said in an interview with ben foster following the defeat to fulham on december 3.
Darwin is like that, but he is correct. Darwin’s biggest difference between last year and this year is that he is completely settled.
The weekend was a good example, one chance might have been better, the other is doing everything right, and it’s about an inch – trent’s (trent alexander-arnold) ball crossbar hits (bernd) leno, he goes in – his ball, crossbar, and out, so where is the difference? “he has all these moments, and his knowledge, his involvement in the third goal is so important,” he says, “he stays in the games and is super positive in and around the game.” At the beginning, he was a little bit aggressive in the wrong way, but now he is aggressive in the right way.
I am really happy with what i see in the moment and the rest will come, and we are all calm. could he have scored more goals? Of course, not quite. Could he have had more situations? I don’t think so; he has all the moments, and we’ll have to work on the last touch.”
