Liverpool Should Consider Moving on from Darwin Nunez After Recent Struggles
Darwin Nunez, once adored by Liverpool fans, is now facing criticism for his inconsistent performances. His recent no-show against Newcastle has increased pressure on Liverpool to assess his future with the club as they strive to avoid another derby disaster at Goodison Park.
The Uruguayan may be a cult hero on the Kop but it's now painfully obvious that he's not good enough for a title-chasing teamIn the dying seconds of Liverpool's rousing 2-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday, Darwin Nunez threw himself into a tackle on Jeremy Doku, preventing the winger from getting the ball into the Reds' six-yard box. The Uruguayan then turned to the Kop and let out an almighty roar. The fans lapped it up, and they were singing his praises again after watching him clear the resulting corner and then sprint 50 metres to press City's defenders. This was the good side of Nunez, the reason why so many Liverpool fans love him; the reason why they've stood by him and continued to believe that his strike-rate will eventually end up matching his work-rate. It's now painfully clear that it won't, though. Just three nights after Nunez's encouraging cameo against City, he produced an all-too-familiar horror show that had even some of his staunchest supporters questioning their faith in the most frustrating forward in football.

Darwin Nunez's recent performance against Manchester City showcased glimpses of his potential, with high energy and effort that previously endeared him to the fans. However, his inconsistent form has left many questioning whether his strike-rate will ever match his work-rate.
