Darwins running ability is also insane - that assist against Everton on the counter attack when he runs from box to box in seconds and assists to Salah was extraordinary

He's obviously an incredibly dangerous player. Anyone with a reasonable football brain can see it. When he puts it all together, Liverpool are scary. The question is, can he?

I've never doubted Darwin, he's just amazing to watch. I remember him when Liverpool played Benfica and he was a MONSTER - and he still is.

Great talent, great pace just a very inconsistent finisher. Naturally with age he’ll develop his striking ability.

Only Nunez finishing let's him down from becoming the best striker in world no joke. The amount of chances he gets in games is unreal. Nunez if could finish would be hitting hatricks ever other game.

He his so exciting to watch , he has made the game much more fun 👏👏

People forget Suarez didn't hit the ground running in the league. He got better every season. I'm not comparing them directly in terms of player ability/style. Nunez didn't do well at the start with Benfica then found a way to score many goals. This lad base is very good and he can build on it. Klopp is key too. Yes I do feel gutted when he misses but at the same time I get that feeling of GO ON LAD! When he gets on the ball coz I seen what he did at Benfica. I remember at one point at the start with Suarez people saying he is type to miss chances but he keeps getting them and making them a game that he will score just by the amount. As time went on that work ethic met his potential and he was just scoring things out of this world. Hopefully Nunez will find his way and I have faith. Not really worried about the banter social media weirdos as long as he keeps showing effort and improving. I think people are too busy looking at our attack when we need to be looking at being more solid. I also personally feel we need someone really really creative in the middle for the defensive teams. I'm talking top tier creator.

Remember, last season when Liverpool beat Manchester city 3-0 in the Community shield it was Nunez who looked more dangerous than Haaland. Liverpool started putting Nunez on the bench despite his glimpses of superb form. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola consistently continued giving Haaland 90 minutes in every game until he gained more confidence and settled into the team finally and became the Premier league top scorer. Let Liverpool coaches be consistent on him. Period.

Both Bielsa and Klopp are developing him. Moreover, player improvement is non-linear. I expect him to explode....

One bad game somehow will make people forget how much he has improved over this season.

He's so dangerous its ridiculous, eyeballs never lie

He is outstanding. He and Liverpool will have a great season

You all doubted him after got sent off and you’ve still not forgiven him. Name all the stars that never miss. Harland misses, Kane misses, son misses they all miss!

People forget that lewandowski was crap when he first joined dortmund....and how erratic mane's finishing was when he was in soton/when he started out in Liverpool

I trust the process. I see the spark and ambition in Darwin and while i can tell he was disappointed himself in the misses and bad finishes, these will temper his finishes. I truly await his style of plays soon.

Klopp developed Lewandowski. I rest my case.

He.just have to control his shot power..he is a beast darwin..❤

I have never wanted us to sign an opponent as much as Nunez. When I saw him play against us, I was just blown away by him. I tend to get a bit tunnel-visioned in matches that involve Liverpool because I want us to win so badly that my appreciation for opponents can be nullified but Nunez was something special. My feelings about him since haven't really changed, even if my understanding of him and more importantly, how he might fit into this team has. I think we'll have to come to accept that Nunez will miss a lot but mhe creates more dangerous chances than any other striker in the PL. I dont want to paint myself into an XG corner here but Nunez will create and maintain chances that other strikers won't have the physical ability to do so. His speed and power are off the charts. His technical abilities are not bad either but sometimes his shape is off because he's too eager. The thing is though, he'll miss but he'll also score LOADS of goals. The best thing that we can do is to accept it and be extra supportive of him. We'll benefit that way.

So glad witnessing the rebirth of Joe Gomez….. fingers crossed he stays fit

I didn't fully appreciate how much value Cleary brings to 442 videos until I had to sit through the other presenters (who were solid but nowhere near Cleary's level). So glad you're back Adam, I can enjoy these videos now. You are the biggest reason I watch these videos. Keep it going mate!

Darwin is somewhat weird, he scores Tough chances but cant seem to score the easy Tap-Ins

I actually think if Darwin had turned out to be a Haaland type character, it would have meant that Liverpool would have naturally ended up pretty one dimensional. At present, at least we can enjoy the roller coaster ride of emotions when Darwin in one match blasts in the winner from just inside the box but then in another match hits the woodwork three times.

It is not Nunez himself who has contributed to his struggles. It is lack of game time since he came which has caused his dwindling fortunes. Let the coaches make the best use of him. He will become confident and precise at goal. Just look at how he saved Liverpool in his first game against Fulham at Craven Cottage. After that game, I was surprised to see him start from the bench. Even Salah sometimes has been too awful in some games but does not receive similar criticism. Please, be objective. You are not building the players this way.

The earlier Liverpool gets a striker, the better for them because Salah will go to AFCON and all the team would get is struggling with goals with Darwin missing seaters. The Toulouse game still gets me coughing when I see that miss

He scored over 40 goals in one season for Benfica. Would love to see a full analysis including a comparison.

He silenced me when he missed from 1 yard

Bbbbut twitter users are telling me he’s finished😢. Great video. He’s a great great talent and a physical specimen. I have all the faith in the world

Language is also standing as a barrier for Nunez to develop himself in Liverpool maybe. I can see he is replicating his shooting techniques in Benfica mostly.

Forget stats just watch him and it’s obvious that he cannot finish in any other way than to blast it. That’s why he misses so many. It’s also important to finish when your side needs it. Yes Newcastle he won the game but Luton wasn’t his worst miss this season actually. We need to be able to rely on him to score the goal when it matters most. He won’t.

He gets his chances . It's a matter of burying it. That's the criticism.

Yeah yeah, great video!!! My mans was so frustrating this weekend 😖

Nunez is getting 30 goals in all comps

He hits the post more than a twitter addict... Frustrating but i still love the paycho.

Didn’t see the match live so I imagined the miss was worse than that. He should’ve scored that goal but the ball did bounce quite high!

The weird thing is that nunez misses a chance and gets slated, but salah can miss as many chances as he wants and the world worships him. If salah hadn't missed the wide open header, no one would be talking about nunez's miss.

As someone who lost 50 bucks to a friend over a bet that Darwin would score more than Haaland last season, I have no doubts he will. Has everything to be a top #9.

Everything about him is so exciting and great, except his finishing...

Darwin is a bag of chaos. And I love him. He will never finish like fowler or owen but he will have as much impact.

nunez vs haaland reminds people of how important tap-ins are in football

Great video. Great stats and analysis. First rate.

would love to share this video with my mates who keep ripping nunez but the fact you put that clip of that nonce chant at the start renders sharing impossible

The game he play against luton town he is rushing it. Guessing due to the game pace. When u compare it with his Newcastle game. 2 shot 2 goal both of it he took an extra step before striking it. He is already world class. Just need to get him to calm down he will definitely be amongst mbappe and haaland.

Lovely stuff and welcome back. To sleep, perchance to dream.

Not sure about DN. He doesn’t look accomplished at all. Gets the basics wrong. It’s almost not acceptable given he’s £85m worth. Different if we paid £35m or something, but even then has to be getting basics spot on. Oh well, am sure he will improve. Whether he ends up being a LFC great, time will tell.

Nunez is the strangest player I’ve ever seen he scores wonder goals and misses sitters I don’t understand he wins games for Liverpool but he misses easy chances and Liverpool lose For me he’s to inconsistent I don’t believe he can be at the same level as haaland or top strikers

Hi Adam, can you do something like this for Gabriel Jesus, we are struggling to find reason for not getting an out and out striker

I really hope so!

Should have really scored two goals the last game . His misses cost Liverpool 3 points .Only positive is, he gets the chances to score

Still hasn't 😭😭, bro as a LFC fan I prefer Him coming off the bench but the dude is truly world class when it comes to missing

I was saying this all year last year. You can see it, even then.

In a world of social media where if you don't succeed by the first day you're deem a flop I think patience is needed. Give him some time to adapt and he will catch fire

Hit wood work more than any other player in Europe last year and he is leading woodwork hitter this season so close

Bare in mind, the 'chance' would also not have counted because the ref blew for OFFSIDE! *everyone is missing that point*

Nunez needs to slightly change his mentality when in front of goal - his instinct is net busting where really he should focus on driving the ball downwards - top spin / dipping off the ground (he is good at that), volleying down, heading down - look at Bellinghams hat-trick v Barca - all three goals driven downwards - its the percentage play

You were in NYC!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Spot on

Can I upvote 100x on this and forgo upvoting other vids? I agree 100%. I think it's still a 'chance', but everything looks good for him completing this chance.

He just needs to polish the finishing and he’s fucking lethal.

Kind of chances Darwin missed was completely unacceptable. Draw with Luton will make it difficult to challenge city for the PL title.

He missed a sitter against Luton. The noise not going away anytime soon.

24 years is old in football.

Most people who critisize him is man utd fans

I love nunez but he's already 24 he should have learned how to finish by now considering he's a striker it seems he only has power shot in his locker when he has situations when he just needs to calmly put it in the net or finesse it he slots those kind of chances all his goals come from power shots

Thing is, its not like he missed a tonne of sitters at other clubs. So there isnt really a reason it continues here, its likely settling and pressure. I can see him potentially really taking off , when Salah decides to move on too, some players need to be the main man to believe they are.

I am yet to be convinced. He needs another season

His convertion rate is poor, his tap in vs Luton was incredibly awful.

Hes great to have on the counter.

That Darwin Evolution joke got you a subscriber lol hahaha

It is easy with Darwin, you just calculate 1-xG with his chances. He misses whatever you i think you could score yourself, and then scores whatever you think there is no way it is going in

😫 I’m disappointed you had almost nothing to say about the fantastic display by Luton Town.

He's on track for a 20+ goal season. Where's the issue?😂 Salah misses easy chances too

tbh im a fan of darwin nunez big fan but those sitter unavailable for striker and good striker need to score open goal like that in the sense of first goal for the team and wide open and sitter. when i saw his finish in luton game, all my hope been taken down. from now on i dont want to get my hopes up with him anymore. im sorry but all his critics is true. hes not world class striker.

Nunez has an involvement in a lot of Liverpool's goals.

Very much enjoying his evolution, aside from the heinous misses of course

You use the U21s and youth teams to develop players, not the first team. When you pay £85m, you expect the finished article, not someone who might come good in a few years. You have to compare him to the person he replaced, who was Sadio Mane, and frankly Nunez pales in comparison.

he already silenced everyone with world class sitters

Thank you. Can you now please describe this Liverpool team in Star Trek terms, so I might better understand…

As long as he only scores bangers!

Nunez is making me think of timo for chelsea. Obviously he was dangerous because of his burst of speed and always somehow being in open space just like Nunez but couldn’t be clinical enough just like how Nunez is atm.

He even silenced Salahfew days back

Nunez will always be like that, his finishing is even worse

Finally. The real deal is back. Now I can continue watching 4 4 2

Nah, not having it. He’s quicker than he is good.

He still needs to stop missing so many chances.

I really like Darwin's style but I am always annoyed that he consistently runs offside 😅

are u serious about your caption? will silence who? should rather silence himself, how many times will he missing sitters?unless u dont want him to succed.

And also dont think klopp is starting him against city...

First stop that talk about hes "close of that or this" he can improve he's finish whatever he wants, that's not his problem. His problem is his mind, he needs to focus or stop thinking to much we need the tap in not that banger. Sobozlai, Salah, diaz can do that... look at Jackson today horrible, but sure on tap in and secure a hattrick... The guy need psychologist...

Werner was the same for Chelsea

He's about as likely to completely change who he is in terms of composure as Amrabat is to change from a deeply average Serie A player to a good player for Manchester United.

He silenced his critics and his fans too with all the misses. Werner v2

saying nunez great is same as saying ten hag is a great manager for manchester united

Keep saying it , i honestly think hes better on the left wing ! Put Gakpo or Jota down the middle . Only problem is you also have Luis Diaz .

adam in a maid dress is not something i knew i needed until today

Hes 24 years old 😂 he's got plenty of time to explode.

Yes sir Nunez until we die

All football players always have off days

He wont. There are no real turnarounds for players in football. If you are wasteful you are wasteful.

Hi everyone. Adam clery WhatCulture wrestling here ...

Darwin Nunez cannot concentrate long enough to finish his dinner (what he’s started). He honestly doesn’t look to be the brightest spark on the pack! Everything is still done at 200 mph. To be an assassin you have to have a cold heart composure “iceman”. Hence the saying, “Cometh the man, Cometh the hour”. These issues can be sorted bar his lack of intelligence eg footballing IQ.
