“‘Not Fit for Liverpool’: Robbie Fowler Criticizes Darwin Nunez After FA Cup Showing”
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has issued a scathing assessment of Darwin Nunez following the striker’s underwhelming display in the Reds’ 4-0 FA Cup third-round victory over Accrington Stanley at Anfield.
Speaking on Darwin Nunez’s struggles, Robbie Fowler didn’t hold back:
> “We’re still saying the same things now that we were two or three years ago – he’s raw, he’s this, he’s that. We can’t keep making excuses. The more I watch him, the more I think he’s not a Liverpool player.
> “People might criticize me for saying this because he works hard, but hard work should be a given. You’re brought in to score goals. While he’s a fan favorite for his effort, you have to deliver better performances in a Liverpool shirt.”
Despite assisting Diogo Jota’s opener, Nunez failed to convert any of his five attempts on goal, leaving fans and critics frustrated. This season, the Uruguayan has managed just 4 goals and 3 assists in 25 appearances—a return many find underwhelming.
Adding fuel to the fire, fans compared his impact unfavorably to Jayden Danns, who scored within ten minutes of coming on in the same match. Feyenoord boss Arne Slot also weighed in, urging Nunez to find consistency and hinting that a transfer could be a possibility.
