“Arne Slot Seeks to Lift Confidence of Underperforming Liverpool Star”

Liverpool manager Arne Slot explained that he kept Darwin Núñez on the field longer in their 1-0 victory over Girona to help the striker regain his confidence by setting him up for a goal.

The Uruguay international has faced difficulties since joining Liverpool, scoring just once in his last ten matches across all competitions. Although Núñez missed a few chances against Girona, he remained a constant threat, with Mohamed Salah’s penalty ultimately securing the win for the Reds.

In discussing Núñez’s recent form, Slot acknowledged that a lack of confidence might be a factor, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo:

> “What I can agree on is that he missed a few chances. Then it’s always the question: does this have anything to do with low confidence or is this just a phase he’s going through? Every striker experiences periods where everything goes in and times when it doesn’t, no matter how hard they try.”

> “I would have loved to see Darwin score because strikers need goals. That’s why I kept him on for so long. He was a constant threat but unfortunately couldn’t find the back of the net.”

While Slot’s efforts to support Núñez are admirable, some Liverpool fans may be concerned about the broader impact on the team. If the 25-year-old’s struggles continue, Slot may face difficult decisions regarding whether to give other players a chance to deliver more consistent finishing.
