why on earth all the emphasis about Nunez being “so young“? He is a 25-year-old man married with children.
Exactly!!!
Because people were saying Phillips was young and would come good too. 🤣 Unlike with phillips, darwin is Liverpool standard.
24
He deleted them because of all the hate from all of our plastic fans. The real supporters back the players through good and the bad.
that's modern football for you.
His comments have been disabled for over a year, so thats bs. he cant handle criticism
@topfrogo You don't think he's been getting abuse for more than a year? You hide behind a UA-cam avatar and blame a real person like Nunez for not wanting to take criticism. Start posting your face, job, and your family on your page and let's see the messages you receive
@@topfrogosome people cant handle criticism. It is what it is. I know plenty of people that get in their feelings when they get criticism.
I know lot of "real supporters" who are turned of by Darwin. I dont think calling out someone who repeatedly, match-in/match-out cannot hit water standing on a boat is unfair. Not to mention, arguably, Darwin Nunez, along with all the other forwards in the team, bears a degree of responsibility of missing 100s of chances, literally and the reason why Liverpool bottled the league. To call all of those supporters "plastic" is judgmental AF. and this includes me. Supported Liverpool for 30 yrs and will do for the rest of my life but will also call out players like Darwin. To clarify, I am not on social media platform like Insta so I don't know what happened and I don't condone/or support abuse.
He’s been too emotional since he arrived and that has been his biggest downfall. You can’t have a man play striker who can’t get a grip on his emotions. You need focus, calmness and composure in front of goal. I agree that if he were to stay, he needs to be playing as a left winger, not as a CF/ST.
los ingleses son los peores simpatizantes de este hermoso deporte que llamamos futbol
Nunez has played 191 games as a CF and 30 as a left forward. That initial comment after the intro was bollocks, sorry. Go do the research.
Not sure what they were on about. He plays through the middle
Even at Almeria he was a CF, these guys are clueless
Playing a player as a forward doesn't make him one! Everyone wants pacet players to try and make it as a striker, but many like Werner and Nunez just don't have the finishing ability
What is this guy on about? Darwin played 75 of his 93 games for Benfica at centre forward scoring 48 goals. He was the highest scorer in the Portuguese league (34) the year before we bought him.
No, that is wrong, Nunez as always played across the front line, he as never been a CF. Bielsa even plays him that way, as he played at Benfica, remind me when he scored against liverpool piss pit poor defense where he was when he shot
Coaches play him there because he scores some goals but basically they're hoping he'll become a top striker. But, like with Sterling, Werner, etc, most of these winger guys just don't have the finishing ability to make it as a striker at the top level.
This stuff about natural finishers being born not made. Pick any “natural finisher” you like and they all spend ages on the training ground drilling different finishes. After the 2001 FA Cup final Henry was criticised for not being a natural goal scorer- and what did he do? He began practicing his finishing over and over again. In today’s training methods there’s a large emphasis on making sure players have enough rest and getting them off the training ground once the team practice is over. Nunez just needs to spend time after training really drilling his finishing-like all the greats have in the past
@@hi0u91e9 No, I disagree. Henry had it in him and needed practice. If you're not naturally good at something at all, practice can only get you so far.
@@TerribleEnglish LFC have acquired the most points and had best run of form when the front 3 has been Daiz, Nunez, Jota, and if you need more proof, Salah was injured when LFC picked up the most points in a run of 6 consecutive wins.. Liverpool worst run of results and fewest points have come when the front 3 is Diaz, Gapo and Salah
Not excusing sh¡tty behavior but that's a childish reaction. He should be using the time he spends on Instagram more wisely. Like studying how to score a goal
Very risky playing him on the left wing, while it is true that would take off the responsibility of leading the line and take off pressure, I think he does not have the skill set for a winger, his offside awareness is still an issue if he plays there, he is not a good crosser, and really struggles traping balls and dribbling. I can't imagine how a winger with those limitations would look like
There are certain in game situations where he´s useful on the left. But only if you need to change the game. His on-ball qualities arent that of a winger. Being fast isnt enough.
Fan channels like this and anfield agenda milking nunez for content has caused all this crap
I don't agree, I think you can teach a player to become a better finisher. It's mostly about the decision making. Get Fernando Torres in as a coach, even if it is mostly for Nunez. He has too much potential to waste.
“I don't agree, I think you can teach a player to become a better finish”
Maybe at under 18 level but not at 25 years of age playing as a No9 main striker for Liverpool FC.
Get real
@@M-nm6rq What’s the difference between being aged 18 or 25? Finishing a football is a skill just like anything else in life. If he lacked speed, physicality and hunger I’d be worried.
All he needs is confidence and fine tuning.
@@kieranlythgoe4943 I would like to take some of our fans back to the Newcastle game earlier in the season, or the clinical chip vs Brentford. last min winner vs Forrest. Darwin is clearly capable and needs the right people supporting him. Fans are very reactionary in modern football and dont use logic. Well said Kieran YNWA :)
I'd delete everything if my family got death threats, plastic fans for what they're doing
That's just a blatant lie though, his comments and his partners comments were disabled before the game, he didn't get any death threats
@@TG-it8zt Not true. I just checked and it allowed me to send him a DM, which is where he could've received these.
Death threats by whom?
@@bedfo1mj so, obvious point here mate… if it’s in private DMs - how the fuck do you know what has been sent?
It’s people speculating, and making stuff up.
There has been no death threats at all, he’s the most protected player I’ve ever seen at the club
@@TG-it8ztall I was saying is that it wasn’t impossible for somebody to message him one.
But since you’ve brought it up, you’re saying that people are speculating, whilst at the same time speculating that he hasn’t received these types of messages.
Sounding a bit hypocritical no?
Nunez is a good player. Nunez has talent. But unfortunately, at this level and given the level of our rivals strikers not to mention our aging goalscorer Salah, hes not at the level.
Can he reach it? Maybe. Not many players do.
Would Edwards have bought Nunez? I suspect he wouldn't have.
Is our current style of play suited to him? Probably not particularly when Salah plays.
Does that mean he should be abused? Absolutely fu*king NO!
Are we seeking a scapegoat? Its fair to say as the main CF had he finished more chances, we might be better off. By the same token had we not conceded as many we'd be better off too.
Klopp is not infallible. He bought Keita which was supposed to be his signature midfield signing. 6/10. He also bought Nunez in a hurry. 5/10 so far.
@@benphilips7235 Naby unfortunately had injuries but as a player he was effective when fit.
Nunez in hindsight wasnt what we needed. He gets in position but hes no finisher until proven wrong.
I really can see Nkunku in terms of profile replacing Firmino would have been ideal injury aside. Had Edwards still been Sporting Director we'd have got him and overruled Jurgen as we did fr Salah.
@@chilled99 Naby was awful and I won't hear anything to the contrary lol. Nunez has utterly failed too. Chilled puts it better than I can.
Wasn’t he signed as a a centre forward? Or does that position not exist now, in the hipster football universe?
Do you people do any research before putting out these videos? Did you watch him at all before opining in front of your entire following that he has mostly not been a CF?
Darwin being young is no longer an excuse. Hes the same age as Isak whos so, so much better.
It doesn't matter if he's the best or the worst player of the world, or anything in between those. First of all he's a human being and frankly, the hate some of these players can get is disgusting and can do lasting mental and emotional damage to them. It's sickening how toxic some of these so called fans are, shrouded in the anonimity the internet gives you, just vomiting their insults at anybody in the club they claim to support.
Isak isn’t much better & he’s injury prone.”The best ability is availability”
The same so called “fans” that were chanting “Nunez Nunez” now treat him like this - not fair and what a short memory do they have… shame - go Darwin keep your head up and leave this club .
@@Benjamin-hp8mw mate Isak is in a different league what are you on about
@@barlj1 Isak has 21 G+A in 2000 minutes with 5 pens while Nunez has same minutes with 19 G+A & taken one pen.If Nunez took pens he would have more G+A than Isak.Your point is wrong
Sell him ??
The problem is, Diaz has to play on the left to perform, Gakpo has to play on the left to perform, Nunez has to play on the left to perform He's the number 9, if he's not good enough, so be it, lets move on and play Danns more or get someone else in
Left? Why because he's fast. He doesn't have the balance or the technical ability to play out wide. Just score more his no 9 play has been perfect except for scoring them easy goals that's a mental thing he obviously has the ability
He’s been brain dead since the day he arrived. Having said that I totally agree we’ve played him out of position and given him the wrong number. He destroyed Newcastle in 15mins but both goals from the wing
Your brain is dead mate
Fantastic player and emotional which liverpool fans love. That being said its a numbers game. For that money, you have to take your chances or somebody else will. Brutal but it's time to rethink his position in the club.
Sensible comment in here good to see. Couldn't agree more
The trouble we have three players who all play the same position, Diaz, Nunez and Gakpo - they all prefer attacking, coming inside from the left….
Klopp has given that position to Diaz, leaving Nunez and Gakpo fighting for centre forward position which neither prefers…
The game against Atalanta showed up the entire team we were out fought physically. Darwin is a bit of an enigma and needs therapy is trying to hard. Have we no sports phycologists.
If he goes get Benjamin Sesko I think with the right coaching he'd become a beast at Liverpool.
There's a brilliant player inside Cody Gakpo. I think he could really kick on next season. Never seemed a Klopp style player and I think in a new system/style he could flourish. He shows real glimpses of quality.
His positioning is world-class, but his finishing is conference.
Hes shite, accept it and move on, end of! Dont send hate dont praise him blindly, just move on......
Love the celtic/lpool top the yanks wearing!
Marcelo Pitaluga,Harvey Davies,Luke Chambers,Owen Beck,Calvin ,Ramsey,Sepp Van Den Berg,Amara Nallo,Melkamu,Tyler Morton,James Mc Connell,Bobby Clark,Fabio Carvalho,Danns,Koumas,Harvey Blair,Musialowski.Stefan Bajectic,and Dominic Corness..
He IS a center forward and has been for most of his professional career. Playing him there was the right call by Klopp. So if Klopp, the best coach in the world at developing forwards, sees him as a 9 and Benfica also did that - then he is a 9. It´s his decision making inf ront of goal thats unfortunatly inconsistent at best and dismal at worst. And talk of playing him as winger is overlooking the fact that he doesnt have Diaz or Gakpos or Jotas on-ball abilities.
He literally can't dribble and has a trampoline touch, what exactly is he going to do as a winger? He fits midtable team that plays on the counter because the only outstanding trait he has is pace.
Any player would be mad to have a presence on social media. They hardly get any privacy anyway. They should make the most of what they do have.
Here’s my problem with Nunez…he doesn’t need to wallop the ball on goal every single time he gets a chance. Just side foot it anywhere but straight. If he does that, he has at least another 10 goals this season. The baffling thing is that he can score from outside the box where he has time to compose, but not inside it where it’s an instant decision. Newcastle is an example. I just don’t think he has suited the Klopp system, as everything has been happening too quickly for him. He’s not a Mane or a Firmino where the first touch is vital. Maybe with Slot, he can become a focal point in some sort of 4-5-1 formation. If he cost 30 million, nobody would be shouting too much. But because he’s 70, the pressure really mounts unfortunately.
Very fair assessment but that’s psychological and will be addressed under Edwards I think
Nunez needs to transfer to a team that will respect and value him.
He’s average and he’s not young, he’s 25.
He’s 24
@@Benjamin-hp8mw26
He is young
For footballer he isn’t young no
Let Arne Slot See Him First, There’s A SkillSet There. Need More Composure
We need to get the idea that "Nunez is not a striker" out of our head. He's got the 9 on his back for a reason and he will never be a world class winger, but has a chance of being a world class striker. Saying you'd rather start Gakpo down the middle and Nunez on the left is baffling. It's literally the opposite of what should happen, seen as I'm a true believer of playing players in their preferred positions
Some nice, responsible, considered thoughts on the matter. Ultimately it’s hard to know what the answer is, I personally don’t think left is the answer, he doesn’t have the ability to beat a man. I can only ever see him as a striker that facilitates for others around him, running the channels and creating space for the wide players and midfielders to get goals. His attributes are speed and athleticism, he can press all day and run the channels all day, utilise that somehow.
He is certainly low on confidence, he wasn’t ideal but was contributing to the team a couple of months ago, now he just looks so low on confidence he doesn’t believe he can contribute at all. Hopefully the new manager has a plan for him, not even necessarily starting but it’s horses for courses for me, his attributes could be very useful against certain teams even though he’ll never be a clinical Haaland type.
He is still only 24 so let the new manager come and decide where he plays and coach his finishing which can be fixed according to both Rooney & Sturridge. Gerrard went through huge development at that age and Suarez used to miss loads of chances when he first came to us. We turn talented players into world class players!!! YNWA
He gets more goals than bobby did and we loved him. Forget his price tag cos he didnt choose that, he is a great asset we just need more goals for the rest of team. Maybe mac allister will be pushed into his normall position and chip in with 10 goals a year.
Eminently sensible analysis from Plunkett.
Next season we can't be having the same conversations about nunez because that is 3 seasons at Liverpool and he will be 25 years
We have had a few players not in their correct position, what he says about nunez not being a number 9 is so true, i do like nunez his work rate is high and can assist in goals creation, but his def a winger and that is the problem, we have basically 4 left wingers diaz, gapko, nunez and jota ... as a squad view it is unbalanced, we still don't have a number 9 and only one right winger, i know elliot has played there but his role is best as a cm.
Nunez was the one of the players who kept us in the title race,he has fought for the team when we had injury's,he never stopped trying for the team and the fake supporters still abused him,if you cant back the players stop supporting Liverpool,Nunez you've done well in my eyes YNWA
He played n scored against LFC in the UCL for Benfica he was leftsided . Cracked me up having him n Gakpo , should have bought Patrick Schick . But id stick with Darwin he need to train at no.9 CF n watch lots of great CF
He reminds me a lot of Pappis Cisse who played for Newcastle if he has time to think then he’ll make the wrong decision or snatch at it but if he has no time to think he’ll put it away
Give him back. I would love to get him back, we still need a striker!
If diaz and salah had put there chances away then the pressure is off for darwin and think how many goals and assists bobby got us and we loved him. Nunbers similar.
It's sad seeing him looking so low on confidence. Even at the start of the season when he wasn't necessarily taking his chances, the one thing he had was confidence and he looked like he was enjoying himself - which was infectious and part of why the fans loved him. Seeing him play atm, he looks like he has a lot of weight on his shoulders. It's not nice to see, we'd all love to see him smiling again.
I agree with Owen a lot. Its football not astro physics. Its fashion to diss Owen and it's boring. Owen knows more than that dour fool sitting on the sofa
This abuse he has been getting from the online dickheads, must causing a lot of issues for him. I think under Slot, who from what i read, worked wonders with Gimenez. Maybe under Klopps false 9 system, didn't help. We play a mad hectic style, thats what Darwin is, he needs more controlled game style
His technical ability is usless.Honestly, could he do 10 keep ups.His control and passing is a joke
Needs confidence that is all. Hope he is surrounded by good people to guide/advise him to ignore the trolls. He is a menace on and off the ball, no defender wants that.
Sign isak from newcastle. His composure is special.
His comments having been disabled for a while and him getting unbelievable support at the ground you have to wonder his decision making in deleting all liverpool related posts.
Maybe because the supporters at Anfield and some random from India or Russia chatting shit on Instagram are two very different groups of "Liverpool fans".
The people at the ground are intelligent enough to understand why he did it, and the morons on the internet think he is "disrespecting the club".
@@BoxOfOranges84Agree I think just don't send stupid hate, can dislike someone's performance. But targeting him personally is odd
Ste that mic always sounds tinny
Nunez tried all
The faintest of flicks , dinks he’d hit the post , crossbar then the GK
And as time went on he’s got frustrated now he’s just smashing the ball now and still hitting the Gk ..
he has got it in him
Just needs a different approach
Slot might think he can sort that out ..
Criticism is fine, abuse is not. Even as a international Red from Australia who speaks only for me- feel like we should know better. And be better but we're not, with that said hes probably not hit the heights. For the money paid for him, yet he has done ok. Unsure on whether we should keep him, but yeah theres no doubt that abuse is poor. And if Ive seen it with Quansah myself, Ill believe the ppl saying its there for Darwin
Only one player to Score two bangers On a world cup winning Argentina. DARWIN FUCKING NUÑEZ! And yes what do you know sir?! YNWA TO THE REAL LIVERPOOL F.C supporters. 🇺🇾🤙🏽✌🏽🔴🔴🔴
don't worry guys this is his villain's arc. he did the same in benfica. he bout to go crazy next season
People are horrible in the comments so he probably deleted his posts as an f you
We would have won the league if Klopp started Gakpo this season and nunez on bench or wing.
Why has LFC brought in so many LW players and then try to make them play in the middle ?....Szobo also being played out of the position he did so well in before joining us !! Not Darwins fault...not Cody's fault ...not Dom's fault....Klopp to blame !
Most fans want him to succeed but he just isn't technically good enough nor composed enough to play at the highest level. When have you ever seen him sit down a goalkeeper and calmly slot it in? He just blasts it with no thought. Look at him compared to Isak, Watkins, Palmer, Solanke even. Enough said.
£75m. Liverpool massively overpaid for this guy. Problem is that they can't sell him without losing £30m-£40m
Diogo did the most Diogo thing possible… he scored a goal and got I hired at the very same moment… it’s a problem. He cannot and should not be relied upon…
Nunez is being scapegoated for our revent collapse is pathetic but predictable behavior. Salah had not scored an open play goal in 9 before Spurs. I can't remember the last time Diaz and Gakpo have also been hot and cold, even more than Nunez. Dom has been so bad that he barely plays. And I could go on about the poor performances of some defenders. There is so much blame to go around.
He had a bad cameo vs. Spurs, and he definitely looks mentally checked out for the season, but the defenders who almost let Spurs back in the match also had poor performances. As soon as the game finished, I moved on with the rest of my life.
Have you seen the chances nunez has missed this season?
Its incredible the amount of chances he has been wasteful infront of goal and that has cost us a lot of games!
Hes hardworking active quick but his finishing is lacking
1. The Team win a league. 2. Death threats (?) I can't believe it was LFC fans, just trolls, if it's true you shut down your instagram account and/or all your social media and make a statement that it has been reported to the police, but he choose to delete LFC pictures. 3. He has be vaulted by all LFC fans in the ground. 4. It's a strange reaction from an employee/professional
Then he should as well delete Liverpool player on his insta bio😔
His finnishing is abysmal.
He absolutely was and is a centre forward, he needs more coaching and confidence, if it doesn’t work next season, move him on, it happens
IF WE SELL NUNEZ it will be a disaster imo...he's a cult hero who has bags of personality
Bobby ferminio didn't score many goals.and his stats for setting up are on a par with Darwin...we're over reaching cos we didn't win the league but both Diaz and Saleh missed more chances in the last 10 games than him for CERTAIN
Bobby had two wingers scoring every week for fun, Bobby isn’t even in the same conversation as Nunez . Nunez isn’t good enough, personality isn’t sulking deleting all his stuff looking for attention
The abuse is 100% not acceptable, however the criticism is solid. People who post abusive stuff on social media accounts of players are clowns.
Ok the other not, the problem with nunez is not where he is playing, it's his lack of finishing. You can put him on the wing and he will still miss chances if he doesn't work on his finishing.
Rhetorical question….does an Edwards/Hughes regime sign him?
Good point. The answer is no. Rumour is the club were not convinced about signing him but Klopp and Ljinders were adamant.
His and his partners instagram comments were disabled before the game, so he didn't get any death threats on instagram, it's just a bad lie that everyone seems to be picking up on and circulating.
He's been the most supported player I've ever seen at the club, the guy misses open goals and still gets his name sung
Facts are always welcome.
Nunez deleted from his Instagram profile all photos related to Liverpool FC. This is unacceptable and it is an insult to the club and all the fans. After this he need to go from Liverpool FC this summer. Mo Salah had more criticisms this season, even from Jurgen Klopp on the pitch and he didn't delete photos related to Liverpool FC.
His time should be spent on the training pitch learning how to finish and the offside rule, not on Instagram.
Personally, I'll trade Nunez for Osimhen + cash.
All the bad finishing is one thing but for me it’s the amount of times he’s offside!
After the game against spurs he is first off storminng down the tunne not acknowledging the fans l Whats that about
He needs to manage his emotions and develop the sport ethics & values.
Typical fans do not understand this, and I believe Klopp does, the high tempo and the limited space (from high backline) our forwards get makes it very hard not to instinctively smash the ball, and Nunez is still adapting to it. Even Salah finds it difficult. Nunez would have scored a dozen more if we reverted to the part counter attacking game a few years ago. Get off his back will you?
Nunez is always trying, always getting chances, setting up chances. Although it is frustrating when your team doesn't score, LFC are not the only club in the premier league who have missed chances, it happens in most games. Hope Darwin and Salah can have better fortune when Mr Slot arrives! Stay positive, YNWA.
Lol what are you guys rapping about he’s been a center forward all his life 😂
He will get better I’m sure. Chin up lad
hes never had a decent touch or a good football brain, a bad purchade.. sell him and move on.. end of it!
When we need goals, we need a goal scorer on the pitch and Nunez has shown on many many occasions that he is not that. His effort is always outstanding but how many other fans here don’t think he’s going to score when through on goal ? Not many I reckon. If Liverpool can get good money for him they should take it.
We've seen enough he missed one vs one with opponent keeper,he can go,he is disrespect the club
Great pundits!
He cant cope with the premiership he is rubbish
If Darwin is not good enough, who could Liverpool REALISTICAL sign who is better?
I'd take a chance and get Ivan toney
@@Adrian-fj7bd bro, he is great, but he is slow, can't press and not fitting into the system we play ... He is like Benteke mate
i have to laugh, the Turkeys who present this comedy show have been slating Darwin Nunez for over a year.. Yet Lionel Messi says Nunez is unplayable and the best forward he as seen, after Nunez destroyed Argentina , before that game it was Brazil he destroyed, after destroying Argentina he ripped Bolivia apart. Messi, Mac allister, Alverez were in that Argentinian team, the world cup winners, Darwin destroyed them
In going to pile inn him because he as to go. If we want to win trophies then we can't afford players who ain't good enough. He works his socks off but so what. We are Liverpool
It's all United fans & those who think Dan is a "supporter"
Won’t lie I don’t care how he feels grow thicker skin it’s football don’t be one, you know what comes with the territory. He needs to go anyway he just doesn’t fit the bill anyway of the club he never did.
GROW UP DARWIN !!!!!
playing a sport he loves getting paid 150k a week why others around the world are left homeless due to there countries being bombarded with missiles 😂😂
Bloke is a complete melt .
I dont rate him and i dont like his attitude, his disrespectful towards the fans that have supportes him .
Needs to grow up
Score goals its as simple as that if you dont want to see negatives then close your social media account OR man up .
He can , go
It’s because of his finishing that Liverpool are finishing THIRD
Absolute bollocks. If it wasn't for his finishing we'd have lost to Newcastle and drawn with Forest. The whole team went off the boil after we lost to Utd ad he's being made a scapegoat of by clueless "fans" like yourself.
Not a good luck, says alot about his character!
he acts like a 12 years old kid, one of Liverpool worst players.
Just not good enough
Nunez should be sold if possible. Take a loss.
He’s disrespected the fans and the club. He’s playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. If you can’t handle it then get off. Simple as that.
He’s not disrespected the Club. He’s trying really really hard. It’s not his fault. You have to park some of the blame on Klopp for making a “somewhat” poor buying decision in 2022. He just isn’t that “killer” who is a 30-40 goals guy. He’s also not fully mature either. That said, our fanbase cannot, should not be smashing him online. Criticise and we all have our own opinions, but can’t be horrible to the lad and be personal via social media. It’s not on. At all.
