Darwin Nunez hands Liverpool another challenge after Uruguay elimination
There was something wholly apt to see Darwin Nunez sat helpless with tears in his eyes on the bench as Uruguay slumped dramatically out of the World Cup on Friday.
After all, the national team seemed simply unable to extract the best out of the Liverpool striker.
How to capitalise on Nunez's undoubted qualities is a poser with which Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have been grappling ever since the striker's move to Anfield in the summer.
Of course, being transferred into a new-look attack in a new league in a new country while trying to learn a new language goes some way to explaining the early travails of his Reds career.

Jurgen Klopp's agent speaks out after Liverpool manager linked with Germany job
Jurgen Klopp's agent has dismissed tentative speculation linking the Liverpool manager with the Germany job.
The Germans were eliminated from the World Cup at the group stages on Thursday after Japan beat Spain 2-1 to ensure they topped Group E and qualify alongside La Roja at the expense of the 2014 winners.
As a result of the surprise exit, talk around the job of manager Hansi Flick has been aired, with Klopp speculatively linked in his homeland as a result.
However, the Liverpool manager's representative, Marc Kosicke, has sent a short statement to Sky German dismissing any talk of the national team luring Klopp away from Anfield.
"This is a media topic," Kosicke told Sky Germany. " Jurgen has a contract until 2026 and he intends to fulfil it."
