The Reds played against Burnley, in the Reds' last game before the end of the year, so this game was of vital importance, as Liverpool had not been able to get the Premier League leadership. So this match helped the team's confidence and to start 2024 with a more focused team.
This game was an excellent opportunity for the Reds strikers to show their ability to solve games with goals, and Darwin Nunez has responded in a big way, as he scored the team's first goal, which breaks a terrible streak of not being able to score goals, as he had been unable to score a goal for 12 goals.
In addition Núñez did not start the game as a centre forward, as among the variants that Jürgen Klopp was looking for to try to find a revulsive in his team. The Dutchman Cody Gakpo, started as a centre forward while Núñez was more on the wing, which has represented a new opportunity for the Uruguayan to score his fifth goal in the Premier League.
With this Nunez can start next year as the team's top scorer, surpassing Julian Alvarez who has 4 Premier League goals. This gives Darwin the impetus to be the goal scorer of choice on Merseyside, as he will be able to finish developing his goalscoring ability in the second half of the season.
With Jürgen Klopp's new idea of play in the Reds' attack, Cody Gakpo plays more in the centre of the attack and Núñez on the wings, taking advantage of the fact that Gakpo is a player who usually plays more centrally, while Núñez has a job to run more, looking for spaces to find his teammates with assists, as well as reversing his position during the match, moving from the centre to the wing.
