Darwin Nunez - Thoughts?

[TheBitch]

Ok. 
 

So Code has set his stall out. At least now we all know. 

[Anubis]

Code's mind has clearly changed since he voted to sign him (poll above). I'm curious as to what Code saw in him to vote that way initially, and where he thinks it has gone wrong.

Take away Mo’s penalties and there’s not much between the goal returns of our strikers.

Thiago went down like a house of straw so will be all in on this for awhile.

Penalty’s needs to be scored, Nunez has a 100% miss record this season for us. 

Salah is a winger, that is the difference, if Nunez was played on the left I would have no issue with his return, but he is not.

 

I think he should be though.

I don’t really mind Nunez, but it’s easier to overlook the obvious goal scoring issue as long as we are winning.

 

Nunez was brought in to give us goals , we pushed Salah more wide to get the best out of Nunez, I think it’s a fair call to say Nunez has failed to deliver.

 

Yes he looks funny with his antics, yes he tries, but I want our front striker to score goals, not try hard and get booked in more games than he scores.

I mean, people can like him for any number of reasons but he obviously doesn't score enough. I don't know how that can be debated. 

 

Richarlison has 10 league goals to 7 for Nunez, in fewer minutes, and he gets clowned.

Yes, but and this cannot be overstated, Richarlison is an absolute cunt.

It provides an opportunity to mention Salah.

No, he doesn't have a 100% miss record. He scored one earlier this season. And he had a 100% success rate with penalties until the one he missed vs Chelsea. I think it was 12 scored from 12 before that game.

This was in discussion about the league and league goals. 
 

He scored one against LASK Linz in the Europa League yes.

Oh sorry. Didn't know it was ice hockey he is playing in the Europa league. Thanks for letting me know any goal or penalty scored outside the premier league is immediately irrelevant.

He's the new Salah, drag, pull, headlock him, it's all fair game.

Complete joke couple of the free kicks he didnt get first half here. That said it’s what we’ve seen all season, I realized months ago that the refereeing will be a major factor when it comes to what the league table looks like in May.

Except the scoring part.

Yet another clinical finish 

[TheHowieLama]

Frode - which thread is your post about three players to 15 golas this season in? It's on.

 

Jota  13

Nunez  11

Gakpo  9

Diaz  8

 

 

 

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Scored a great header; fluffed an easier one-on-one.

 

He remains an enigma.

 Nunez is on 12 goals, isn't he?

GAH, you may be right.

That changes everything!

The more I think about it could actually be a pretty interesting discussion.

 

We reached the CL final and finished 4th in 17/18 with Karius in goal, in 22/23 we finished 5th and got knocked out of the last 16 of the CL with Nunez as our striker. 
 

Lets say Alisson is the best keeper in the world and Haaland is the best striker, how would we do if we got Haaland in as our striker and for a keeper on Karius level from 17/18 before the CL final?

 

Would we win more games? I dont know as Alisson is pretty important for us, but what if we also had a front striker with a goal guarentee?

We also had Mo. He must be shit too then?

[Bjornebye]

Boss again. Best header I've ever seen.

And then he's booked for complaining about it. It's a fucking joke. Bet these cunts can't wait for their blue card.

Only 11 players have scored more Premier League goals than Darwin this season, and two of them play with Liverpool.
