Analysis by BBC Sport columnist Fara Williams
Darwin Nunez is a frustrating player.
When he came in, he became a fans’ favourite just because of the work-rate that he gives.
But, on the flip side, his composure in front of goal has never been good. When you are at a big club, it is what you are measured on. Is he good enough to be in a Liverpool team that is competing on all fronts? Probably not.
It showed against Aston Villa – that was a huge miss. At a team like Liverpool, you are expected to finish that.
Nunez does not have that composure. His mind is going one hundred miles an hour and he cannot slow down his thought process, that was what happened. That miss could be costly come the end of the season.
There is still a lot of talk around the future of Mohamed Salah. But, even if he leaves, I do not think Nunez will be the backup ready to step in. If I am being honest, I cannot see him even being there past the summer.
