Darwin Núñez attacked in networks, cost 100 million and misses these goals

Just when it seemed that the criticism of Darwin Núñez was beginning to die down after his good performances during the month of October, the game against Ajax fanned the flames against him, because after Liverpool had taken a 1-0 lead through Mohamed Salah's boots in the 42nd minute, the Uruguayan striker had the goal alone in front of goal that could have possibly buried Ajax's hopes of being able to come back from behind at home.

This failure on the part of the Uruguayan striker quickly caused ridicule but above all criticism from fans on social networks, as the fact that Nunez was unable to extend the lead already meant a gap of opportunity for his rival to reverse the situation and put Liverpool in complications again, many claiming that this striker is not one of those who are worth "100 million".

As it happened against other opponents, the Uruguayan striker could not have an acceptable 45 minutes and even less when the only play where he was active he failed in front of goal. Although the second half was very different and the goal that extended the lead came from his header from a corner kick, the criticism did not cease, because even that goal did not make up for the shortcomings that the most expensive player in the team presented against a dangerous opponent.

Although the effectiveness of Núñez in the last five games has shown that the 100 million invested in him has begun to pay off, the fans of the red team do not see the same situation, as these types of failures in other types of scenarios could end the team's aspirations, leaving a bittersweet taste of his collaboration in the victory of his team, which is already resting easy in the next round of the Champions League.

Núñez scored the second goal of the night

The criticism and comparisons between Nunez and Andy Carroll will not end until he can prove to be as effective as Mohamed Salah or Roberto Firmino, as having the responsibility of being Liverpool's new killer on his hands and continuing to miss glaring goalscoring opportunities will continue to weigh on him throughout his first season with the Reds.
