Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has opened up on the fact social media criticism appeared to dent the confidence of new recruit and club-record signing Darwin Nunez.
The 22-year-old Uruguayan international was purchased earlier this summer from Benfica for a fee of £85million plus add-ons. Nunez first announced himself to the Liverpool faithful while he was still on the books of the Portuguese giants last season.
During a two-legged Champions League quarter-final knockout tie against the Reds, Nunez notched goals in both the home and away ties - catching the eye of Klopp and co. in the process. Just months later he'd become a Liverpool player, but it has not been the easiest of starts.
