Former Liverpool star Robbie Fowler has described any criticism of Darwin Nunez after the performances against Manchester United and Crystal Palace as 'ludicrous'.
The Reds signed the Uruguay international for what could potentially become a club record fee earlier this summer and he's settled into the squad well. However, with all eyes on the new boy, rival fans and critics didn't hesitate to jump on his back after his first pre-season performances.
Nunez certainly silenced them after he scored four against RB Leipzig earlier this week. Fowler emphasised signings are brought in for the long-term, not just to hit the ground running in pre-season fixtures and has backed the 23-year-old to succeed at Liverpool.
