Darwin Nunez continues to split opinion in the Premier League as he once again endured a difficult day at the office in Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Brentford.
The £64m summer signing might have 15 goals during his maiden season in England - nine of them in the Premier League - but it’s not always been plain sailing. At times, Jurgen Klopp has conceded the Uruguayan isn’t quite in sync with his own and his team-mates' demands. While Nunez's lack of English is also proving to be an issue.
Since the March international break, coinciding with Diogo Jota’s return to goalscoring ways, Luis Diaz’s return from injury, and Liverpool’s return to form, Nunez has often found himself out of the starting XI. And while Klopp has started the 23-year-old in the Reds’ narrow victories over Fulham and Brentford, he has ultimately prompted more questions than answers.
