Great strike from Nunez against bournemouth.
He seems to be kicking on and his overall play has improved vastly, how good do you think he can become for us Ed001?
{Ed001's Note - he needs to become more clinical, then he can be something incredible.}

I personally think him unlocking his potential is the key to replacing Salah’s number when he eventually leaves.
Can be so frustrating sometimes but love him as a player!

Nunez reminds me of Torres but without the consistency. he's fast, powerful, has great awareness, and makes superb runs. He misses a few but he's in the right position to get goal chances so, as Ed said, he just needs to be more clinical. The only player at the club ahead of him in goals this year is Salah (another player who misses plenty of chances and scores plenty of chances) . The ceiling for Nunez is high. I really believe he will go on to be an equal to Torres.
{Ed001's Note - if he can stay fit and avoid the injuries Torres had, I think he can surpass him. Torres only really managed one full season for us and then it was all fits and starts between injury spells. Nunez is good enough to be his equal and works harder, which should be enough to make him even better, hopefully.}

At 24 he’s still a few years off his peak and he’s working under arguably the best coach in the world.
You can see the lad has all everything to become world class and I expect he will probably get there.
Inconsistency is his weakness right now but that should get ironed out, in the mean time he’s an absolute joy to watch, pure chaos and makes you love watching football.

None of what Darwin is doing now is a surprise to those of us whobelieved in him from jump. The goal he scored yesterday was nothing new. If anyone watched Darwin at Benfica (I didn't apart of goal compilations), would tell you that the banger he scored last night, was a vintage Darwin Nunez goal he scored for fun in Portugal. Drifting from the left and banging it top bin, s is literally what he does.
Like Ed said as long as he can stay fit and keep improving in all facets of the game, there is no limits to the levels he can reach. In terms of modern CF ability and qualities, the kid has it all, IMO.

Even if he wastes chances i've been pleased to see just how many more we create when he is on. Also a goal or assist every 60 minutes this season is not too shabby.
{Ed001's Note - he is so much fun to watch play. He brings enjoyment back to footie.}

Agree with that ed, everyone else play like robots, he's a bit different.

Ed01, If you are not excited to watch Darwin play as an LFC fan then literally, I have no ideal what you want.
{Ed001's Note - he is awesome.}

I love him. Were blessed with such excitement and talent.
Nunez, Gakpo, Szobo etc. can’t wait for the next game!

LiverpoolFC8, those guys have brought the joy and excitement back the way Mo, Bobbie and Sadio used to do in our pump. I could not wait to watch us play just to see what they would do. Same here. I can't wait to see what Gakpo, Elliott, Trent, Diaz, Szobo, Macca and of course Darwin will do now. Im loving it, man.

He's only young. Just unfortunately, subconsciously, he will always been compared to haaland in this league. Which isn't the bench mark for great players. He's elite. Generational.
There's always 5 or so players behind the number 1. Who are also exceptional.
I see that with nunez. For us if he continues with performances and adds 20 goals a season to his game, then its all rosy.
His success isn't winning a battle for domination with haaland.
It's becoming a regular contributor and guarantee of goals before the season starts. We already start with 30 from mo. A champions league team hits a gf of about 70 a season.
Gakpos the same. Diaz. Jota.
Nunez is number 9 now and unless injured. Give him the next 15 games. Just play him now.
Choose between gakpo and Luiz on the left.

I don’t compare Nunez with Haaland at all. They play in the same position could not be more different as players.
Haaland is anonymous for the vast majority of games but is always there to take the chances. He’s scoring loads of goals because most teams allow City to create loads of chances. Generational talent? He’s certainly a good goal scorer but he needs to play in a team that will feed him plenty of chances or he’s useless.
Nunez gets much more involved in games and is a much better footballer than Haaland. He’s nowhere near as clinical and he probably never will be (not many will) but if he improves his finishing just a little he will be some player. Call me biased but I’d much rather have a player like Nunez who gets you off your seat than a goal hanger that’s not involved in games until the ball is in the box.
{Ed025's Note - i will certainly call you biased BP, along with jealous and kidding yourself, haaland is excellent mate whereas even though i like Nunez he is very hit and miss, them red tinted glasses need to go back to Specsavers im afraid because they seem to have clouded your judgement..
