In a recent share, former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor pointed out the reason why Darwin Nunez was disappointing at Liverpool.

In the summer of 2022, Darwin Nunez joined Liverpool from Benfica in a deal worth £85 million. He surpassed Van Dijk to become the record signing in the history of the Red Brigade. The Uruguayan star has scored 48 goals in 85 games for Benfica, he is expected very much at Anfield.

With Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino injured, Nunez has been continuously starting in recent times. However, the star born in 1999 was a huge disappointment. In the last 3 matches on all fronts, the former Benfica star missed 10 scoring opportunities.

In the Premier League, the 23-year-old has missed a total of 17 clear chances, the most in the league. Nunez’s disappointing performance is one of the reasons why Liverpool are ranked 6th in the Premier League, 7 points less than the Top 4.

In a recent share, former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor pointed out the reason why Darwin Nunez was disappointing at Liverpool. “ There is a huge difference in the football environment in Portugal and in England,” he said. Defenders in England have better speed and judgment, which forces Nunez to act faster.

“I get the feeling that he often rushes in the last few situations. He is afraid of the opponent approaching, and chooses to finish as quickly as possible. He has many good qualities, and this is Nunez’s first season at Liverpool. I still believe that he will improve his ability.”
