Darwin Nunez has had a World Cup comeback to forget. In the four games he has played for Liverpool since returning from Qatar, he has been full of errors. And on Monday against Brentford, the Uruguayan was once again poor in front of goal, missing several clear-cut chances. The only one he was able to convert into a goal was disallowed for offside.

The Reds lost to Brentford on Monday in the 19th round of the Premier League. Several defensive lapses allowed the Londoners to score. First an own goal by Konaté. Then a goal by Wissa taking advantage of a defensive distraction and in the second half the Cameroonian Mbuemo appeared to seal the painful defeat in which Chamberlain could have scored for Liverpool.

Nunez again had several chances to score, but his lack of accuracy condemned the team to be left without the chance to score. Journalist Ian Doyle posted the following on his Twitter account: Nunez drags a rather ambitious shot well wide of goal. Some of his team-mates were a bit disappointed with that.

In the midst of Liverpool's desperation to get out of the slump they were in just a few months ago, one of the players who suffered the most in this situation was the attacking reinforcement, Darwin Núñez, a Uruguayan player from Benfica who arrived at the Reds in the summer as the striker who would become the team's goal scorer in a couple of seasons,  He had to take on this important role from very early on in an atypical season where injuries and bad spells flooded Anfield, causing the pressure to exceed the South American's capabilities and he was criticised for his failings.

<strong>Anfield fans still have his back</strong>

Although a fan base as demanding as that of the Reds is not one of those who usually wait for a player to take his time to consolidate, they were able to understand with the passing of the games a little more the reason for the hiring of Nunez and what is the plan that Jurgen Klopp has with the Uruguayan, changing at least in recent matches their way of being with their attacker to show their support even when he has presented certain failures throughout his participation against Leicester City.
