Klopp sends message to Darwin Nunez as Leeds footage highlights his attitude

Darwin Nunez failed to add to his six goals in a Liverpool shirt as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Leeds United but his work-rate highlights why he can achieve Jurgen Klopp’s objective

Jurgen Klopp has admitted that Darwin Nunez must keep working to improve after the Liverpool forward produced a mixed performance in the Reds’ 2-1 defeat against Leeds United.

The Uruguayan missed a handful of opportunities to score during the game at Anfield, with Nunez squandering four chances, including a golden one where he should’ve added to his tally. Mohamed Salah played the ball through to the forward, who had just Illan Meslier to beat, but the Leeds goalkeeper stood tall to save his effort.

Ian Wright said on BBC’s Match of the Day: “I think Nunez has got to do better there, he has to lift it over him.” However, Nunez provided four key passes and provided a creative spark in the Liverpool attack. It allowed the Reds to be effective in transition too, with Nunez being the focal point for the likes of Salah and Firmino to feed off him.

Although he didn’t eventually get his goal, there were positives from Nunez’s performance and Klopp has urged him to work hard to achieve his objectives. H
