Liverpool secured a win against Girona, but head coach Arne Slot was less than impressed with his team’s performance, particularly Darwin Nunez.
Speaking at the pre-Fulham press conference, Slot addressed the No.9’s inconsistent form: *“It’s the life of a striker—sometimes you score, sometimes you don’t.
But work rate should always be there, and Darwin has had that, except for two games. The last half hour against Girona wasn’t at the level he should have, largely due to his frustration after missing chances.”*
Nunez’s struggles against Girona have sparked criticism from fans and coaches alike. The 25-year-old responded on social media, but with competition from Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa returning this weekend, he’ll need to step up.
As fans, supporting the players is key. Let’s hope Nunez uses this feedback to deliver a standout performance at Anfield on Saturday.
