Both he and Jota are unreliable as main strikers. I think he still more useful than Jota, but an 85m backup striker is a luxury. We have to cut our losses. I love him, so I think it’s better for him to move on for a new challenge. I just don’t see him turning things around here.

He’s not an £85m backup striker though. He’s just merely a £(whatever we can sell him for) backup striker, in that situation. The £85m is already a sunk cost.

I think that pretty much sums up his career.
Great lad
Bags of effort
Glimpses of brilliance
Just sadly never kicked on enough.

Oh just found out that in accounting terms, Nunez’s transfer fee is £17 million annually. Jota’s five-year contract has ended, meaning any sale would be pure profit. Nunez remaining book value is £34 million, so a sale below that would be a loss. Therefore, selling Jota might be more beneficial for our accounting books at this time.
Anyone could confirm that ?

He’ll win us the League Cup and then suddenly disappear for a couple of games, it is known.

Nunez did give them something to think about. Not a lot, and he was peripheral and fed off scraps. But his pace and power added an ingredient not in play until he came on.
Diaz buzzed around but was like a gnat. No real end product. Jota tried, but at the highest level we need more, and PSG were not threatened. Salah was comfortably kept at bay by their pace and athleticism too.
Don’t get me wrong, Nunez is not what we need and will likely be replaced. I wish he had Salah’s ability allied with his own athletic gifts, then he would be some player. But we all know the score.
Still, none of the other strikers gave PSG any problems so I don’t want to kick Darwin as if he was the only one.

Imo Nunez will only ever be good if salah leaves, too reliant on playing to salah most of the time in the hope that he will do something, as great as he is, he was pretty much ineffective against psg in both matches.

I’m not sure that’s the case. Núñez’s problem is Núñez.
I had the game on mute, so I don’t know if the atmosphere was up to scratch, but I saw comments that it was quite muted too. I wonder if Anfield was rocking, Núñez would have had more confidence to just hit it harder.
Thats a lame excuse if ever.

Who’s saying it’s an excuse?
I’m literally pointing out that his weak point right now is that his confidence is very fragile. It’s a weakness he needs to work on, an explanation, not an excuse.
Of course it is if they crowd was making more noise he may have hit it harder.
Yeah, this is becoming a bit n’importe quoi.
It’s been that for quite a while now, little changes!
This is what I put in the post game thread and is the reason Darwin won’t be the player we hoped he would become and also the reason he won’t be our focal point if Mo leaves.
