The Uruguayan striker became a goalscoring partner in October

Darwin Nunez's arrival at Liverpool proved too complicated for the Charrúa striker to fill the void that exists both at the Merseyside outfit and among their fans following the departure of Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich. While the team is crying out for a new killer in the box, those in the stands at Anfield need a figure to be proud of.

With that kind of responsibility on the young striker's back, it was evident that the pressure of the situation coupled with the adaptation to a new team and new football would eventually take its toll, earning him thousands of criticisms and a place on the bench that left him as a bad reinforcement and even more so when the competition (Manchester City) acquired a true net breaker who is set to be the record man in the Premier League.

All that adverse situation was well channeled by both Nunez and his coach, Jurgen Klopp, who despite the negative situation surrounding his player, had the courage and confidence to use him as a starter during the intense calendar of the month of October, responding the Uruguayan with goals that today became praise from the German tactician. "He's involved in many, many final moments. It was a great month for him.

Nunez's big appearances have been applauded by a Jurgen Klopp who sees real goalscoring potential in the attacker with the German manager realising things that even Nunez himself cannot yet see in his football, although to get to squeeze that great potential, they must first work hard on that consistency and raising his level of play even further. "Nobody knows how good he can be, he doesn't know. He has to be fit and available all the time, we have to work on that, in all the different areas."

<strong>&#39;His potential is incredible&#39;</strong>

Within those qualities that can turn Nunez into an elite player and above all a goalscorer for Liverpool, the German coach highlighted that incredible physical power and tactical play of the Uruguayan. "The potential is incredible. His speed, attitude, he's a real worker, his technical ability is incredible. Everything is possible to develop and learn. It's really exciting.
