Despite the goal, confidence was lost, this was what Klopp did with Nunez

Since the beginning of the season, the big question was if Darwin Nuñez would be the best signing for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, however, he has come short of the expectations. Especially because when he arrived he was expected to be a great striker who would score every week. But so far expectations have exceeded reality.

The Uruguayan striker has not been able to compare with any striker in the Premier League, much less with the best striker of the moment, Erling Haaland. In addition, they judge him even more harshly because Darwin Nuñez cost Liverpool more than 100 million dollars.

On the other hand, there is also the competition that he constantly faces with his teammate Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian striker looked like he was going to be on the bench this season but Nuñez's low level and the goals the Brazilian striker has scored so far have made the fans question whether the Reds needed another striker in the first place.

Klopp's decision: Nuñez did not finish the match

Despite being the author of the winning goal against West Ham United, Darwin Nuñez did not finish the match. He finished his participation in the 57th minute, while his rival Roberto Firmino played 88 minutes. Clearly, Klopp now trusts more in the Brazilian striker who has given him results for many years. Will Nuñez now have to fight for a place in the starting lineup?
