“Slot Calls Out Nunez: ‘Below Expectations’ Against Girona – This Week’s Top Reactions”

Liverpool may have clinched a victory over Girona, but Arne Slot didn’t hold back his disappointment, especially regarding Darwin Nunez’s performance.

At the pre-Fulham press conference, head coach Arne Slot addressed Darwin Nunez’s recent form, remarking:

“It’s part of being a No.9—sometimes you score, sometimes you don’t. But the work rate should always be there, and I think Nunez has shown that, apart from two games.”

Slot specifically cited Nunez’s underwhelming performances against Las Palmas and during the final 30 minutes against Girona, describing them as below the standard expected. He suggested that Nunez’s frustration over missed chances may have contributed to his struggles.

While there’s no clear pattern indicating issues against Spanish sides, the coach’s candid comments highlight an open dialogue between him and the player.

Now, Nunez faces the challenge of responding to this feedback. His recent social media posts defending his efforts after the Champions League game suggest he’s aware of the scrutiny. However, with Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa close to returning, Nunez may find his opportunities limited unless he steps up.

For Liverpool supporters, the focus now shifts to rallying behind Nunez and the team ahead of their clash against Fulham at Anfield, hoping for a much-improved display.
