Worked his ass off today. In these games he needs to take a bit better care of the ball, but he could easily had a goal and an assist because of his efforts.

Does winning the pen it count as an assist?

I'd say so.

[Supremolad]

He's on fire. And his determination never to be labelled a tap-in merchant is admirable.

He's just a great Andy Carroll!

[Wezza]

Can only assume we’ve finally got him on the correct PED dose.

The left footed high first time ball across the penalty box to Salah was possibly even more impressive

Sadly Nunez continue to not score against the top half teams like I pointed out earlier as an issue. 
 

He’s not scored against a top half team since against West Ham 24th of September.

Hhhm, yeah, might be a mental midget. Guy costs twice what Gakpo did and he's only racking up the stats against the minnows. 

[Carra_is_legend]

He costs twice what Gakpo did and 'only' racking up against the minnows? 

Blimey.

Harshly put perhaps but it'd be nice to see him be the difference maker in the big games against those teams around us, if you're Bournemouth or LASK or Prague watch out though.

 

Be good to see him putting some away and playing well against Utd, Spurs and Villa in the run in.

I was defending him against those mean boys

Literally created a tap in for Mo...

He wasn’t at his best but he was far more dangerous than most. Not saying much obviously 

[aws]

Rumours that he has pulled out of Uruguay squad. Hopefully this is good news.

[El Rojo]

Good news, you’d imagine. Looked absolutely gassed as the game went on yesterday. 
 

All being well, himself and Salah get to recharge before it all starts up again.

Bollocks. He had a direct contribution to the first two goals we scored yesterday. And won the penalty in the game vs City.

 

Also he has previously scored against Arsenal, Man Utd, City and assisted vs Chelsea. Yeah, he scores more against the minnows. But guess what, all top strikers rack up majority of their stats against minnows because 1) There are many more minnows in comparison to top teams and 2) Because the minnows have worse defences, top strikers tend to score and assist more against them.

[Code]

He scored his last goal against a top half team in the Premier League in september 2023, this is a fact.

 

Your point about top strikers scoring most of their goals against shite clubs is absolute bollocks.

 

Lets look at our top goalscorer, then look at Nunez.

Salah is off in the summer.

You are being deliberately daft now. You even excluded many of Salah's other goals. Selective bullshit at its finest.

 

Do you need me to explain how proportions or ratios work? Even from what you posted, the majority of Salah's goals (and assists) have come against the sides which aren't the top sides aka the minnows. Or you don't know the meaning of "majority"? Here, I would help you. You add the total he has scored against the top ranked teams and compare to the total he has scored against the others, and compare. Simple.

 

Also, Nunez has been here less than 2 seasons. He hasn't started in all the games against the top sides and has missed out on some due to injury this season and last. That also has to be taken into account. But I guess context is never applicable to you when you have a shit agenda.

Excluded, thats all I got on a page n my Ipad where the screenshot is taken from. 

 

Agenda?

 

Im simply pointing out that Nunez has not scored against a top half team in the PL since september, I see it as an issue. 

If you want to compare to Salah, he has scored against top half teams in five games since then, and been away/out for two months as well.

Code, it's a stupid point. He had 2 assists on Sunday in a game you're crying about him not scoring.
