Liverpool Striker Darwin Nunez Frustrated with Lack of Goals
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez expressed his frustration over his lack of goals following Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Fulham in the Carabao Cup. Nunez, who has scored just one goal in his last 16 appearances for the club, admitted his disappointment after the match.
The game saw Liverpool come from behind after Fulham’s Willian opened the scoring in the 19th minute. Nunez’s introduction in the second half proved to be crucial as he provided the assist for Curtis Jones’ equalizer and Cody Gakpo’s winning goal in the 71st minute. However, Nunez also had a chance to win the game late on, but his effort was saved by Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
Despite his lack of goals, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised Nunez’s contribution to the team. Klopp highlighted Nunez’s outstanding performance and expressed his trust in the player. He emphasized that the decision to start or not start a player is not solely based on their goal-scoring record but also takes into account their overall contribution to the team.
Klopp also acknowledged the impact of Nunez and Gakpo coming off the bench, as well as the tactical changes made during the game. He recognized that while there were some defensive issues, the offensive situations improved significantly with Nunez’s involvement.
In conclusion, although Nunez may be frustrated with his lack of goals, Klopp values his overall contribution to the team and believes in his abilities. Liverpool fans will be hoping to see Nunez find his scoring form soon.
