Nunez scored again last night in a 5-0 rout of Bolivia. He was the star and scored for the 7th time in a row for Uruguay. He equalled a 96 year old record for Uruguay in doing so. 7 shots in the 1st half.
In the right system (Uruguay play a 4-2-3-1), he looks better.

It must be doing wonders for his confidence so that’s good.
He still needs to work on his game to deal with the lightening quick premier league. Hopefully the new coaches can help him thrive.

I can see Uruguay winning the Copa which would be great for Darwin but then means the club and Slot doesn't see him until August.
Under those circumstances we might not even see him start the season as our centre forward.
Let’s hope the other 6 forwards (Danns and Gordon included) are just as accustomed to 4231 as Nunez is.

He is doing well in some matches
However he missed a hatful the other night apparently
He needs to become a goal scorer that doesn’t need a load of chances to score 1 goal- you simply don’t get a load of chances game after game in the PL
Hopefully the Copa gives him confidence and his conversion rate improves.

The system we played was great for him he got as many big chances and as much xG as anyone could have gotten he just kept missing. Hopefully he takes some confidence back to Liverpool.

xG ?? what does it even mean? Some made up stat that is meaningless imo.
