Liverpool's Darwin Nunez had a horrible moment against Aston Villa due to which he has faced a lot of criticism. Should Liverpool keep their faith on Nunez or is it time up for the Uruguayan? New Delhi: Oh Darwin! What’s happening to you? A few seasons back, Nunez was considered as one of the most lethal young strikers at Benfica, where he was bagging goals for fun. Ever since his move from Portugal and eventually joining the English giants Liverpool, his time at Benfica is now long forgotten.
Inconsistency, work-rate and the worst of all, lack of confidence in front of goal, have been the factors that eventually led to his downfall. Liverpool have a rich history when it comes to some of the greatest number nines playing for the Reds over the years. From Fernando Torres to Luis Suarez, the Kopp has witnessed some of the most lethal strikers play for them and Darwin Nunez’s arrival in the summer of 2022 was anticipated as the beginning of yet another career of a top tier number nine.
However, in the last few seasons, things have gone cold and they only get worse for the Uruguay international at Liverpool. Nunez did have a decent start to his life at Liverpool as in his debut season he managed to score 15 goals in all competitions, following it with a campaign where he struck 18 goals and had 13 assists. These numbers were actually decent, but a striker who has been signed for a massive £85 million, you would expect much more than 20 Premier League goals in his opening two.
