I know it looks like a pretty simple goal but I loved that second one.
Iâm so used to seeing one of our players making a heavy first or second touch, and Nunez managed to make an out-of-step second touch with the outside of his boot, positioning the ball perfectly for the strike.
It just highlighted to me his strikerâs quality that he understands where he wants the ball to make the shot on goal as effective as possible. Really smart.

Yes 2 typical strikers goals, I remember Ruud van Nistelrooy making a ton of those.

I donât think Andy Cole ever scored a goal that required any technical footballing talent, he was just always in the right place. The definitive cowâs arse banjo man. Numez can score any type of goal he wishes, just keep scoring lad 
World class goals still only count as 1.

Already its possible to see how different Nunez is to how our other forwards have always played for us under Klopp. His passing yesterday was nothing to write home about, and I think that will be the big loss from Mane. Much less interplay, though Diaz and Carvalho look more than ready to take the slack. Yesterday though, Nunez he was always in the right place to give defenders and the keeper a headache, like our Dirk but with much greater quality (sorry Dirk!). Mane got an extraordinary number of header goals for such a small guy, but this guy looks like he will take on a header from anywhere which gets me excited.

Since when is gathering up a bunch of uneducated troll comments the basis of a ânews articleâ? All these tabloids are doing hit pieces on Nunez based on random Twitter bullshit.
Welcome to modern âjournalismâ.
Itâs one of my pet peeves of the BBC reporting too.
Nice to see em smilingâŚwhat a sightâŚ
How do we play with him. I know it sounds silly after what he did today but notice he doesnât press too much and doesnât seem the build up type player. Is he a different option up to mix it up or am I off the mark. Havenât looked at him enough to notice.
Flanks and CM press and win the ball and use Darwinâs movement and we score goals?

That itself is a talent.

He does press, he won the ball back for his first chance.

Nunez is different than other attackers we had or have and Liverpool plays differently than his previous club used to. Klopp and the coaching team have a blueprint to integrate him into our team and style. Itâs not even a month that he has started to train and play with his new teammates. I think it will take fair few weeks/months before he is fully integrated.
His talent and Kloppâs tutelage can only mean

What made you think this? He was pressing regularly and intelligently from the moment he was on

Stop comparing him to Bobby. Bobby is one of a very rare breed. Nunez for his role does press well
I canât remember a major signing under JK where there hasnât been a clear plan for how weâre going to use them even if itâs not immediately obvious to us fans so Iâm not worried about that. The other thing Iâd say is the thing that impressed me most about his performance yesterday was his work rate, his pressing and the fact he was a pain in the arse for every City defender from the second he came on. He gives us a different kind of threat. A more direct physical central threat. That much was obvious even from the half hour he played. The key thing for me is how heâll do against the low block because heâs not played against that yet for us and itâs what heâs going to be playing against about 90% of the time.
