Jurgen Klopp must learn from the dropped points at Fulham by unleashing Darwin Nunez from the outset as Liverpool host Crystal Palace on Monday night, according to Arsenal legend Paul Merson.
The Reds were held to a 2-2 draw on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, having to come from behind twice to salvage a result at Craven Cottage. Nunez, who moved to Anfield from Benfica in a transfer worth up to £85million in June, started the match on the bench and made the all-important impact after coming on in the second half.
The Uruguay striker, 23, scored Liverpool's first equaliser and set up Mohamed Salah to level again after Fulham momentarily restored their lead through Aleksandar Mitrovic. It seems likely Nunez will start in place of Roberto Firmino against the Eagles, which Merson believes is the right decision after his impactful outing against the Cottagers.
