Masks off, the reason is revealed why Darwin Núñez has missed so many goals

In the matches in which Darwin Núñez did not score, the number of chances created by the Uruguayan striker stands out. In all the games added together, he had 20 shots that did not end in a goal. Even so, the Liverpool number 27 sees the fans and the manager backing him. In the match against Leicester City, the fans chanted his name the whole time at Anfield. After the win over Aston Villa, Jürgen Klopp was full of praise.

"It's not easy, he can't close his eyes, hit the ball and send it in. Strikers go through that from time to time, he hasn't had that yet, but I haven't been there since yesterday and me. I've had a few forwards. I know scoring goals early on is not important," Klopp said in the first instance.

"We are completely calm. What I really liked and it's very special was that on the third goal, I think everyone here, if they were in a situation like that, after the game he played where he missed the last touch to score the goal, we all would have hit the ball and tried to force it. And he passed the ball to Stefan (Bajcetic), who scored the goal," he analysed.

"That makes him special, the work rate he puts in, the spaces, the depth he creates for us. He's practically unstoppable when we have the ball and pass it at the right time, there's no defence that can match his speed. I know all the stories there are and it's fine, but we are completely calm, everything is going to be fine. He played an exceptional game and we won 3-1, that's what matters," he concluded.

Lack of definition

Andy Cole spoke about the comparisons made of him with Darwin Núñez: "To be fair I wouldn't give him any advice. Everyone on social media wants to give him advice. Someone said they put him in the same bracket as me and I said to myself I find that very, very disrespectful. Nunez is a totally different player to me. He tried to mention that he gets himself in positions but doesn't finish off his chances. You never know what's going through a certain individual's mind, what he's struggling with. He's robust, he's strong, he gets in great positions but for some reason his finishing is lacking at the present moment".
