Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry in agreement over "scary" Darwin Nunez record

Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez 's promising record in front of goal for the Reds makes him a "scary" prospect - and Thierry Henry doesn't disagree.

The 25-year-old Nunez is averaging a goal every 106 minutes for his new team, having already bagged seven in all competitions since his £68million transfer from Benfica before the start of the season. But what makes the Uruguay international's tally even more impressive is the fact he's only played the full 90 minutes of a match twice in his blossoming Liverpool career.

Often used as substitute by manager Jurgen Klopp or hauled off before the full-time, Nunez hasn't been afforded an easy run in the side, partially due to being sent off on his home debut for a rash headbutt. His lack of minutes has prompted Carragher to take note of his commendable output after bagging a late goal during the Reds' 2-0 victory over Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday, having been subbed on by Klopp in the 73rd minute.
