Robbie Fowler isn’t convinced Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez will conceivably ever come to be the valued striker Jurgen Klopp hopes to revolve him into at Anfield.
Nunez owns got 22 objectives and ten aids in 60 aesthetics for the Reds since his extensive-coinage silvers glide from Benfica in the summer season season of 2022.
He’s authenticated guarantee, and owns plunked in multitudinous preposterous capabilities, yet owns in addition in some casings been criticised for his profligacy in front of aspiration.
The Uruguay international missed a pair of decent chances in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Manchester Metropolis, and after the video game, in his Mirror obelisk, Fowler evaluated whether he will conceivably ever come to be the “ended up article”.
He wrote: ‘Without wishing to definite exceedingly awfully sizeable, I reckon it is a sensible aggravation to ask: how long execute you allow a gamer to sharpen from raw and vowing, into the ended up article.
‘I ask since that’s all I heard throughout the video game at the Etihad…Liverpool could surpass Manchester Metropolis as shortly as Jurgen Klopp converts Darwin Nunez’s rawness into the ended up article. For me though, it should be IF, not as shortly as.
‘How long execute you impart him? He immigrated at Anfield almost 18 months ago presently, and yet we are still chatting around this prospective, this ‘exhilarating rawness’. But you can’t go with your entire career being raw, can you?’

Nunez immigrated at Liverpool at the specific same time as Erling Haaland enlisted with Metropolis, and while Fowler agrees it’s “absurd” to compare the 2 players, he desired out minutes in the video game on Saturday that typified their inconsistency in attribute.
‘I execute feel sympathy for Nunez, since he immigrated at Liverpool at the specific same time Haaland came into the Premier League, and patently, the inconsistency is ghastly, even if the Metropolis striker price less, and their puzzle level was clearly parallel.
‘We saw 2 minutes in the first fifty percent which presented the pothole between them. Haaland’s aspiration was classical striker’s instinct. So much so he reminded me of myself!
‘He lugged out the truly durable perfection paltry. Nathan Ake was hardly 10 yards away, and a protector as pleasing as Virgil van Dijk was touch tight. Yet he located that yard of room the spotless forwards always designer, one touch and bang. A layer of the highest attribute.
‘Nunez was in a parallel position with the protection yanking away in front of him, and that specific same room opened up in front of him. But there was zero touch to amenable up a pleasing shooting angle. Instead he was waiting for something to take place in front of him.’
