I'm confident he'll be fine, I just hope he doesn't miss an open chance in an important UCL game. He is still younger and he might not handle the pressure as well as the world-class veteran Sadio Mane.

We went from : - Salah Firmino and Mane at first - Salah , Jota-Firmino-Mane either rotating or sometimes the 4 of them - Luis Diaz , Salah and Mane , no CF or ST but the speed and talent is immaculate - Now it’s either Luis Diaz , Salah and either Darwin/Firmino/Jota. Liverpool is one of those teams that can rotate and their players can play on different positions to compensate

He will do fine but I think Liverpool overspent because of the insane lack of strikers on the market right now. Most strikers are experienced Veterans at this point and there are few younger promising ones. That's why Liverpool spent that much.

I don’t know why people don’t rate him because he isn’t ‘tidy’. Whenever he plays he always looks a threat and dangerous. And with Trent and robbos crossing ability he’s the ideal poacher that Liverpool can thrive with

As a Benfica fan I have to say that Darwin Nuñez is an amazing player. He has pace, physical, a lot of breed and on the last season he was really good, even after the coach depart. He left everything on the field! To Liverpool, take good care of him, he really is a top class player

I was at the Fulham game, and lemme tell you that Liverpool would have lost without Nunez. He dragged the team to a draw.

As an FC Porto fan, Diaz and Darwin are amazing players, so is Fabio Vieira.

Feels like he's going to fit into a niche sorely needed at Liverpool; a finisher inside the box. A non-flashy, scrappy goal scorer in the box, a dangerous runner in open play. Liverpool have some of the best feeders ever to play the game with TAA, Thiago, Robertson and Salah so I think in the end he'll score a lot of goals

Finally someone that understands Nunez is not a Mane replacement, Diaz was

He’s a huge threat in many ways,speed, height & you can definitely sense his hunger for getting the ball. The diving header against City was what I’ve been wanting for a Liverpool striker for a while!

I'm pretty excited about Darwin. He gives something we haven't had in quite a while. A proper 9. The community shield cameo was a nice teaser. Hopefully he will kick on from there. Great video as always Tinashe.

For now in October 2022, this has not aged well.

I think he'll be like Torres....... The Chelsea's Torres :p

Currently aging like milk but there is a huge language barrier and I feel bad for someone so young receiving so much criticism

Bro, I love you and how much Liverpool content you’re doing lately (no specific reason at all for that). I know it’s gonna end but as per usual, keep up the unreal work you absolute mad man

Love to watch your new videos on Friday having lunch. Hugs from Brazil!

Nothing here ages well

I'm a Benfica fan with a season pass for years and I've had the pleasure of watching him plays dozens of home matches. Interestingly, Liverpool is my 2nd club, so this has been a very bittersweet transfer for me. All I can say is that he fits Liverpool's playing style like a glove. I expect Liverpool to play a 4-2-3-1 often now, but we'll see. Only time will tell if he makes good on his price tag, but I think he will. Regardless of my being a fan of Liverpool, I really want to see him do well because he is just an absolute joy to watch. He has so much fighting spirit and sheer force of will, constantly running with or after the ball, he's not selfish... He doesn't have the flair or technical ability of someone like Salah or Diaz or even Firmino, but he is like a bull on the pitch. My one gripe with him, that I hope the coaching staff at LFC remove from his game, is his tendency to dive. It really doesn't suit a player of his size and I think it serves him wrong more often than not.

it's been a great time following your content man.. would like to request a video about union berlin and their rise in this 2020's era...anyway great jobs man!!

The background music combined with the turtle imposed over the image of the two defenders in a way that can only be described as "divinely". Love the channel, man. Keep 'em coming!

Started your video but did not planning on completing all 11:39 duration. I was however hooked and so watched everything. Keep up the vids. You are a talented football analyst.

Just from watching his goal against Man City in the Community Shield you can see the value Nunez adds to Liverpool. There is no one else on the team that can score that goal, the rest of the world should be very very worried that he joined the Reds. Seriously, he's just getting warmed up.

Loved discovering your channel Tinashe. Some of the best football content on UKposts - keep it up!

Outstanding timing! Way to plant seeds of doubt in mind just the day before the season starts.

I really wonder how Nunez is gna fit into Liverpool's way of playing. Firmino and Mane (when he played centrally) both dropped back and created play rather than making runs into the box as a target for through balls. When we signed jota, it was an interesting signing and he certainly scored the goals, but he didn't connect the attack like firmino or Mane. The attack always looked a bit disjointed with Jota as the number nine. Nunez just seems like Jota Pro or Jota Max. Obviously as a Liverpool fan i hope he scores a shit ton of goals for a decade or more, but it's an intriguing signing. YNWA.

First time recommended in my feed, enjoyed the content, subbed my friend.

First time I’ve seen your channel. Liked & subbed halfway through the video. Like your style bro. 👍

Great content as usual. I don’t support an EPL team but from what I see you’re always objective and reasoned. As far as being a ‘modern number 9’ ... in these times of false 9’s, drifting wide, interchanging forward lines etc (not a criticism) for this old fella he’s actually a throwback to an old-fashioned CF, a skilled one of course. A wee bit of variety. Teams and systems evolve, they have to. Anyway, I’m looking forward to watching him, and Haaland for that matter, play 😎

Well this aged quite well

Thanks for the informative video 🙏💐

As long as Klopp is running things he can become a star.

I believe klopp's gonna treat him like he treated fabinho back in 2018. Didn't start him few games to protect him from english medias and the fans expectations until klopp thinks he's ready.

At 4:28, the video shows the bald eagel mascot of S.L. Benfica. I am curious as to how Benfica managed to get hold of a bald eagle - anybody know? The bald eagle was made the national symbol of the United States in 1782, and since 1940, when Congress passed the Bald Eagle Protection Act it is illegal to take, own, sell, or keep captive a bald eagle, or its eggs, or any part of the bird, especially its feathers (only the native Indian tribes are allowed to legally keep possession of bald eagle feathers, in accordance with their traditions) within the United States. You have to have special Federal certification to even handle the birds in rescue/rehabilitation situations. I'm guessing somebody captured and sold these bald eagles from either Canada or Mexico, where the bald eagles can also be found. Anybody know where these bald eagles came from? Golden Eagles were also added to the Protection Act in 1962. The other weird thing about Benfica is the club motto - E pluribus unum, a motto which has been in the Great Seal of the United States together with the emblem of the bald eagle since 1782 also. Since S. L. Benfica began its existence in 1904, I can only guess that whoever started the club was an admirer of the United States, or at the very least, its national symbols.

Liverpool never had a proper plan b , when teams parked the buss , Darwin is a great asset off the bench or starting

We’ve quietly gone from Salah, Mane, Firmino, Origi as our only options to Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Jota, Firmino whilst balancing the books. It’s very impressive business

Good to see you getting sponsors, here's hoping you start raking it in my friend! Great video AS ALWAYS!

man i love your videos so much, keep up the good job man

Could you do a video on the career of Daniel Sturridge? Would be an interesting video, dude was one of the most promising young English talents, super interesting career with a weird ending

thanks for the video man!

i can’t necessarily say i agree with all of your assessments of him but you have definitely gained a new subscriber! excellent video and will for sure be watching your videos in the future… keep it up! 👍🏼

Proud of you and your channel bro 🇿🇼🫡

I’m gutted he’s missing the match at old Trafford, not saying he was going to wipe the floor with them but because he’s a decent physical threat up front, something that Liverpool have not had since Torres. Once things click for Liverpool it will be a handful for defenders to monitor Salah, Nunez and Diaz because they are all dangerous in different ways.

I'm a Porto fan and I watched Darwin a lot in the last two seasons...Mentally and physically is worldclass, but seems to me that sometimes he's clumsy with the ball...he's skillful but clumsy...like in the fame against Fulham where he didn't mean to pass to Salah or that "backheel goal"...I think he lacks balance but he will be great at Liverpool

His background are quite similar with Luis suarez who also know as street footballer. He put everything in every single game and hate to lose, but comparing square with nunez is unfair

Well, he is a hell of alot better than the last 6ft plus ponytail wearing centre forward we had. Cough cough Mr Carroll.

This video has captions!!!!!! I'm the deaf guy from the last video, you utter fucking legend Football Iconic.

It's less about how good Darwin is and more about how good he makes Liverpool. When seeing the sum of whole rather than the individual players (Darwin, Salah, Firmino, Diaz and Djota) it becomes exciting for LFC fans and perhaps terrifying for opponents. With these forward options, Klopp can use multiple iterations of 4-3-3 and even shift to 4-2-3-1 (especially when also including Elliot and Carvalho). With 5 subs being introduced, it will be difficult for opponents to prepare for Liverpool games. And Liverpool can adapt in-game to their opponents setup.

Famba mwana Wevhu! Ndokukurudzira Channel yako, very informative!!

Love your narration voice bro. You deserve a subscribe

Your voice is strangely soothing. Subscribed.

Agreed, zero concerns well outside of injuries. If thats behind him watch out.

I always look forward to your videos :)

Quality content as usual...please upload more as the prem is back

Your new studio is slick man.

As an Ajax fan, I unfortunately know just how good this man is…

This actually aged well. Legit

Your channel is legit bro

Objectively, I think Nunez is a player that comes with drawbacks but if his obvious strengths are played to, then he will be a really dangerous player for Liverpool. With the chances their system creates, the heavy use of crosses into the box I can only see him doing well. Plus Klopp is great at knowing how to use his attackers in an effective manager.

Darwin plays MUCH different than Firmino. Darwin plays runs into, from the top of, the box. Very different than Firmino who plays as “almost” a 10. More of a set up man. Darwin will occupy a lot of that space where Diaz makes runs into. Diaz will be forced deeper and into the Firmino role. Darwin will become an amazing striker. What I, as an LFC fan, would absolutely LOVE to see is Firmino dropping back to midfield 3, on rotation with Replacing Keita. Thiago, Fabinho, Firmino in midfield would be scary!

Just something to point out: a lot of the stats from last season used in this video are only calculated using Núñez's performances in the Champions League, since the Primeira Liga is not a top 5 league. The issue with that is the sample size is relatively small (only 614 minutes) and also the average opposition strength is higher.

Funny I was literally in the middle of watching your Lewangoalski video

Everyone hyping on Darwin Nunez but how about diogo jota he's a talented player and premier league proven I think jota need to start over Darwin Nunez

I think he would struggle but not because he can’t perform. But because a lot of the times when a team is in a transition they take a dip in performance as a team collectively before the rise to the top again. And I think Liverpool is in the transition part and the team as a whole is going to take a huge dip this year.

YEEEEES LAD! Just sat down for the weekend - perfect timing

wow! this is the first time I'm seeing this guy... looks as calm as his voice ...

I love this channel, great content from Tanashe.

This is worrying to me, because it stinks of Liverpool desperately trying to find a striker as an answer to Haaland signing for City.

Best UKposts Sports Channel of all time. I'm Watching You From TEMA 🇬🇭

As a Uruguayan there is only one thing that all the skeptics and commentary folk on the Tube only would understand if they grew up in Uruguay and that is testicular fortitude. No reason how a country the size of Uruguay should have as many world class players as Uruguay but unless you have lived it no way to do we expect you to understand it.

This is the most insightful video I've seen into Nunez, nice

I think liverpool felt forced to make a big money move after the departure of Origi, minamino and mane and I think Nunes is not a good fit for liverpools playstyle but only time will tell

i think hell be fine, but itll be very interesting to see how hes used considering jota/firmino are a completely different profile

Quality content!

the strength, speed and size is so scary on its own, but he pairs with a high IQ movement off ball and great technique with the ball. can holdup play and link with others, sneak behind the defense for headers and tap ins, score worldies from distance… and hes still growing. skys the limit with klopp teaching him and world class players around him. him and trent will be linking up for years

Yessss mans is back

People are so concerned about his Liverpool paid price tag. Lots factors into that. His age, trajectory/potential top form, forwards cost more, no buyout clause price point and what kind of team purchasing him. Mainly he's like a number one draft pick in the off-season and Carvalho is like a late first round pick.

13 minutes to score his 1st Prem goal and also bagged his 1st assist in his 1st game. I mean great debut apart from the 2-2 draw

After recommending and pushing to sign Couthinho from Suarez, no way was Barcelona take his recommendation seriously to sign Nunez It’s gonna be interesting how Liverpool evolves with Nunez in the side, with Firmino in the side and dropping deep, it was like having a 4th midfielder in the side and Liverpool could crowd other teams in the middle of the park, I felt Liverpool played a game within a game saying “ our players are superior to yours, huff and puff, but make a mistake or two and we will beat you”, especially when they won the EPL, with Nunez liking to play on the shoulder of defenders and running onto thru or over the top balls, I feel like Liverpool’s midfield might have to change and have 2 midfielders like Henderson along with Fabinho to clog up the middle or switch to 4231 and have wide forwards track back now

Yes, we'll soon find out

What top class channel 💪🏽

This video aged well.

I believe you will see him coming off the bench with 30mins to play. His speed and movement running at tiring defenses late in the game will create significant issues re substitutes for many teams. Do you replace your midfielders or your defenders. Either way space will open up that Núñez will be able to exploit. This tactic defeated Man C in the community shield. If it worked against them how well will it work in the EPL and Champions League? We shall see. Drawn games cost Liverpool the league title last season. With him on the field would expect fewer draws.

Great video. Entertaining 👍

he might not float like a butterfly (yet) but he's a handful and a tough game for any defence... salah and the other forwards will be licking their lips playing alongside him

i think hes amazeing, i really like him and i wish him the best. he will success

One thing I have noticed about him, is he brings chaos to opposition defences, did it to City and then Fulham

He will score...but I feel like Klopp will start him as sub against low blocking teams. He need time to get his stamina up to par with his PL ready team mate......and to avoid too many injuries against PL defenders...eventually he will start more. 5 subs rule will play a part in squad rotation.....by signing Jota to a new long contract, Liverpool reassured and locked in their front line for a good couple of years.

i dont think jota is going to be employed on the left as much as you say - they will keep him in the central role - his pressing and wing play isn't that good, he is a predator in the box tho

Aside from great content. You've got a great voice.

Mmm his “header” yesterday against Crystal Palace does give pause.

I'd love to see a 442 with Nuñez and Jota on top! Both are great threats going forward!

LFC's scouting and evaluation is one of the club's keys to success and they've done an excellent job at finding players that can fit Klopp's system and has the work ethic and character to fit in with the club's culture and ethic. He's on a team where he can be empowered to be his very best rather than the team needing him to be the focal point of the attack. i can't say how many goals he will bag this year, but he's going to be a problem for anyone we play. He's also wearing the Iconic #27 shirt and it takes a special someone to wear Divock Origi's shirt.

Nice reviews u make man. I never miss an episode. Having said that, how good was Ricardo Kaka?🤔

I honestly believe (and after seeing him scoring his first goal not long ago), I think Liverpool got the services of one of the best forwards of the moment. He'll perform good there. Specially cause Liverpool has a really good collective game.

i will not expect him to score 20goals this season. if he can chip in 10 or 12 i will consider it a good maiden season for him but if in next season he can't get up to 15+ then i will start having a second thoughts.

Many say he was bad purchase because of his temper. Some of the worlds best athletes may have bad temper or issues in their first years, but eventually grow up to be the best. He just needs to learn his lesson to get there.

He is going to be a beast only thing I worry about him is the injuries but every players are at risk.

brilliant transition to advert. salute

Dude, I was expecting Liverpool to start this season perfectly and then you dropped this video. Nervous as frick bro, I thought something bad might have happened to Nunez. 😅😆

Uruguay has a history of having strong strikers. Players such as Edson Cavani and Luis Suarez come to mind. Darwin gives me a vibe of a mixture of both, fast and strong like Cavani and the scrappy footwork and finesse of Suarez. I hope he gets a handle of Premier league games, cause he has a lot of Potential
