If Nunez carries on scoring, Jurgen Klopp might have to accept some tactical compromises to find a place for him in Liverpool’s team
Jurgen Klopp left Newcastle on Sunday night with a welcome dilemma: how to find a starting place for his maverick striker Darwin Nunez.
After his brilliant cameo, it is inconceivable the Uruguayan will not get his chance against Aston Villa this weekend. Already a cult figure on the Kop, the manner in which Nunez took his two goals at St James’ Park transformed early season introspection into growing belief that Liverpool are a couple of canny deals from being title challengers again.
But in keeping with Nunez’s penchant for the spectacular finish, for him it seems nothing is ever simple.
Whenever Klopp is asked how Nunez can make himself a fixture in his favoured starting XI, the response is the same.
