Darwin Nunez got off the mark in style with four goals after receiving some early criticism in his Liverpool career... but his teammates were never concerned.
The club-record signing had spurned some early chances in pre-season, which rang early alarm bells with some on social media as he looks to fill the void left the the prolific Sadio Mane. Nunez clearly knows where the goal is, netting 34 times for Benfica last term, and duly highlighted his cutting edge against RB Leipzig, scoring four in a 5-0 thrashing.
Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has been a stalwart of the Jurgen Klopp era and has seen a host of new faces arrive with varying degrees of expectation. He admits there will always be an adaptation process, but never paid any attention to Nunez's fee. Instead the Reds squad have revelled in seeing their Uruguayan colleague excel so early on as his silenced the doubters.
