Fast, strong when he's not diving, plays off both feet, bit of skill. It's just when he gets near the box, he almost always has a rush of blood to the head and misses so many good chances. He's also constantly offside. Not ideal traits for a striker he's CR9 at SJP the c*#t! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of those where one day it could just click. Or he moves clubs, is a bit more confident and composed with less pressure Edited February 19 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal traits for a striker He seems the sort that needs a run of games and to be relied upon as the main man, which will help settle him down as far as the snatching at chances goes. His finishing and goal record at Benfica was too good to be written off completely. He was putting away the types of chances we've seen him spurn so often at Liverpool. Don't think being in and out of the team so often helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll come good, and I agree, a run of games will help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. TC Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Yeah, I'd be delighted to see Nunez here, although obviously not at the expense of Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 To me he's a confidence striker and atm he's none. The lad creates an insane amount of chances so he gets in the positions. I like Nunez - when you watch him he doesn't half graft. He just needs to leave Liverpool to somewhere where he'll play regularly under a manager who believes in him. Not saying I'd swap him for Isak mind - that's just laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone does that, you want to see another season to see what the mean is, instead of jumping the gun and thinking it's a Messi type player that's got to be snapped up before others come.

McCormick Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) I like Nunez or, rather, I like what he could be. If he can get it together in front of goal he’d be one of the most coveted strikers in the world. That being said it’s lot of “ifs” and “could bes” with him. Isak is a sure thing and there’s no way I’d want to lose him unless it’s for insane money (I’m taking 150m plus) and him pushing for a move.

If he wasn't so erratic in front of the goal then he'd be the striker I thought we were getting with Haaland. Chaos and physicality, rather than just a (very effective) poacher.

When someone does that, you want to see another season to see what the mean is, instead of jumping the gun and thinking it's a Messi type player that's got to be snapped up before others come. I've not checked but I assume he's underperformed his Xg the entire time he's been at Liverpool. Which suggests he's a real confidence player or something is wrong at Liverpool. The bigger thing about XG for me - is less general under/over performance. BUt what is the actual baseline? Messi's league Xg was like 28 per season. His overperformance would get him to like 32 goals. Most players expected goals are far lower which is the main difference, not so much the over/under performance. Nunez underlying Xg is routinely strong. Which is a main reason I think he has something. He's certainly missing a level of composure and confidence but he's got a lot going in his game. I think the same about Nico Jackson. Nunez doesn't spam shots either. He's building his Xg underperformance by missing great chances upon great chances .
