Arne Slot to address Darwin Nunez's work rate after Aston Villa draw

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed frustration over Darwin Núñez's lack of work rate following a missed opportunity in the team's 2-2 draw against Aston Villa. Despite acknowledging that missed chances are part of a striker's role, Slot emphasized that Núñez's reaction to the miss affected his performance for the remainder of the match. He praised teammate Wataru Endo for his consistent work ethic, contrasting it with Núñez’s disappointment that seemingly hindered his contributions. Slot plans to address this behavioral issue with Núñez, stressing that maintaining effort is crucial regardless of individual mistakes. The draw left Liverpool unable to extend their lead over Arsenal, as they prepare for their upcoming match against Manchester City. Núñez's struggles this season, with only four goals in 21 appearances, have raised questions about his form and attitude.
