Liverpool's Arne Slot Acknowledges Challenges in Maximizing Darwin Núñez's Impact
The head coach cites difficulties against defensive setups and promises continued efforts to unlock the striker's potential.
- Darwin Núñez, Liverpool's record signing at £85 million, has struggled to consistently deliver this season, scoring only four goals in all competitions.
- Head coach Arne Slot admitted the team has not yet fully utilized Núñez's strengths, particularly against teams employing deep defensive blocks.
- Slot highlighted Núñez's pace and ability in counterattacks but emphasized the need for better positioning, timing, and service to capitalize on his skills.
- Despite speculation linking Núñez to a potential move to Saudi Arabia, no offers have been received, and Slot dismissed claims of the striker lacking confidence.
- With Diogo Jota potentially sidelined due to a minor injury, Núñez could feature in Liverpool's upcoming match against Brentford.
