In recent days the name of Darwin Nunez had been relevant in social networks only because of criticism from annoyed fans who could not understand how the Uruguayan could be used by Klopp in the starting lineup when his effectiveness on the field was terrible, earning hundreds of bad comments that gave him only this match to reverse things and gain a little credibility that he was losing every weekend.

To the South American's benefit, his game against Fulham in the EFL Cup was more than acceptable, with Nunez being a great factor that not only caused a sense of danger in the opponent's area, but also, he was the architect of the two assists that marked the 2-1 comeback at home, being recognized as one of the MVP of the night with just 30 minutes of activity.

That pair of assists helped Nunez reach 10 assists for the season, enough to surpass Trent Alexander Arnold and Mohamed Salah, who both have 9 assists, proving that Darwin is a much better passer than scorer at the moment, with the fans having nothing to complain about after the game and having no choice but to send their player off with applause.

Despite Liverpool's team being one that demands results immediately, Klopp has been patient with a Darwin Nunez who seems to have finally found that comfort on the pitch, with his dive from the wing being his best bet for the moment, finding against Fulham one more situation that made him look good coming in as a revulsive.

Nunez is a great striker despite the negative comments against him

It is true that the Reds team had been used to having for many years to have a referent of the area, being different with the arrival of Nunez where the collectivity is what prevails at the moment, not leaving the group to be effective because of this issue, The Uruguayan has benefited from the group theme as he has so far been able to generate 8 goals and 10 assists so far this season, being those numbers better than those of Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli together who have 17 G/A, as well as Bruno Fernandes and Hojlund who also have 17 G/A.
