Liverpool Struggles With Darwin Núñez Performance

Liverpool's manager Arne Slot has defended Darwin Núñez, who has struggled with form this season, scoring only four goals in 26 matches. Slot admitted that the team has not effectively utilized Núñez's strengths against deep-lying defenses, a challenge that has hindered his performance. He emphasized that proper positioning and timing are crucial for getting Núñez in goal-scoring situations, noting that opposing teams often crowd the box and make it difficult for him to score. Despite criticism from pundits regarding Núñez's role at Liverpool, Slot remains confident that the striker can return to form. He pointed out that the collective responsibility lies with the team to support Núñez, who has shown flashes of his potential. As the team prepares for their next match against Brentford, Slot expressed hope that Núñez will soon regain his scoring ability.
