Darwin Nunez is in trouble. 

Vizeh has officially jinxed nunez which means he's gonna score a hattrick on Sunday 😭😭😭

As a Benfica fan, Darwin was extremely clinical when we were really poor in his final season, he just needs support and guidance, he’ll come good

Nunez won’t see this vid and won’t complain as he has missed the button to see it.😂😂😂

It feels like Nunez has a bit of a confidence issue to me, impostor syndrome maybe and it's affecting him mentally. He had a rawness at Benfica and it was effective he had no fear, he always strikes me now as someone who is other thinking it all.

Personally, I hate the fans abusing him as if he must be like Messi or something. He clearly embodies what the club is all about, Humility, Respect, and Grit, but modern football these days are just about no. of goals and trophies, personally if Drogba plays today, he won't be hailed as a hero, he'll be seen as an another "Darwin". he's got talent sure, and it's not even on him when the club paid a huge amount, so rather abuse him, abuse the idiots who paid the transfer. but at the end of the day, he's still going to be a great footballer, people are just too keen on goals and shit, rather than work rates and passion.

"When he's on it" I've watched every minute of him playing for Liverpool, and he has never been on it for longer than 30-40 minutes at a time. His brace against Newcastle was his peak.

Personally, Darwin isn't that bad of a player, he has scored important and beautiful goals for the reds but the chances, oh my god the chances he had missed but to be fair, this season especially now, turns out other than Gakpo now, no one can actually finish, Diaz is nice but his finishing a bit off (for example, city) and Salah is starting to slow down (still plays insanely good still)

Nunez has been regarded a "raw" talent for 2 seasons. If you are going to be signed by a massive club for a massive fee you need to adapt quickly to not be regarded as a flop. Nunez hasn't. He has shown he has massive talent - look at the Newcastle game. But what takes a "raw" talent to a superstar is consistency. Nunez unfortunately for him cannot seem to find it.

Are we ever going to get a video on Bournemouth? They’ve been incredible. EVERYONE had them deadlast 2 years ago and now they are pushing for a European spot! A good coach, good team, good tactics. I think it deserves a video.

As a Benfica fan, I've seen his highs and lows, also at Benfica, but I love him as he always plays for the badge, I think if he finds some consistency he will be a top 5 striker but of course that is easier said then done, but I don't think that happens by dragging a player down as that might take a big mental toll on them, criticising is good if its constructive, especially with someone like Nunez

Darwin Nunez reminds me of Andy Carroll. I promise it's a compliment. Not many strikers genuinely scare defenders. Andy Carroll did. When fit, this powerful, technically gifted fucking Geordie giant coming off the bench actually made defenders panic. Every defender hated playing against him, even though he was injury-prone and inconsistent because he didn't even need to have a good game to cause endless problems. Nunez has that vibe. Nuisance value, can never leave him alone as a defender because you can never tell what kind of day he's gonna have, and he's got physical attributes to make your life hell even at his absolute worst. I hope he doesn't end up with Carroll's injury record too, because I genuinely think Andy Carroll is one of the scariest strikers of recent years, and so is Nunez.

This was a great video. I really like the way you framed the situation.

Darwin Nunez for some reason always reminds me of the No Ragrets guy in the film "We're the Millers"

I’ve gotta be honest. I’ve always been slightly critical of your ability to make captivating video essays after you fully switched to making them, but I was really rooting for you. With that being said. This is the vid that shows you’ve put it all together👏🏽top notch stuff. Excellent quality, great talking points, good use of stats, and just overall entertaining as hell!

As a Manchester Untied fan I am clearly very well qualified to talk about Liverpool players. The man is a slightly above average premier league player, carried by an excellent team behind him. He is exceptionally wasteful, but is carried through moments of absolute brilliance that help to somewhat mask the problem, and also gives the aura of there might be something special here. His stats will always be somewhat inflated by the rest of the team, allowing him so many opportunities to actually score. Put him at any lower half team and he would be entirely anonymous.

I have absolutely 0 worries about darwin, hes improving all the time and his work rate is unmatched, he wants to be good, he just wants it a little too much and to be fair to him, hes not the only Liverpool forward that cant finish all the time, Diaz gets all the praise but he has terrible finishing too, hes just silky enough to get away with it more. Watch this space, he will click. A change in system will probably help him out. Im excited for his future as a Liverpool fan.

If the Feyernoord coach (arnés I believe that’s his name) is hired then Darwin might be replaced by Santiago Giménez(Mexican striker that plays for Feyernoord).

Ayyy a new video from my favorite back up right back let's goooo

He’s just very raw. Has all the physical attributes to succeed. Tall, strong, fast, workrate. He’s not even that bad technically with his hold up play and assisting team mates. I think he’s a classic example of a “confidence” player. When he’s not feeling it he misses sitters, when he does he can produce some great performances and goals.

As a Liverpool Fan, I would not excuse anyone calling Darwizzy a 'shit Andy Carroll'. His greatest issue was that he was given such a high price tag by Benfica, as they typically do. Yes I know, Nicolas Jackson (who was himself ridiculed this season) has almost the same if not better G/A this season and his price tag was much lower, but let's pretend we didn't see that :)

I feel bad for Darwin because in game he really puts in the effort and runs all over the pitch, but his ability to hit the back of the net is disappointing. Ps: Liam please don't stop answering to comments, you're one of the few football youtubers that does this on a regular basis

Amazing video mate, quite possibly the best content I've seen on the subject. Awesome job, you had me at the clear crisp fonts. Yes, definitely been informed by Edwards that he'll be surplus to requirements next season. And he's taken the news like the big manchild he is.

I thought the display at St. James this year was gonna be the turnaround. Coming off the bench and scoring two goals with the team down to 10 men. Two goals of ridiculously high quality. I was thinking "oh no, this is where he launches from" But that performance, just like before, was an anomaly. We get flashes of brilliance mixed with a lot of fluffing his lines. I can't imagine how frustrating that's gotta be for Liverpool fans.

Finally A vid abt Nunez and Viz thx for the consistency but brooo ur uploading like basically for me each day thx for the consistency

In july 22’ liverpool fans acted like they got the second coming of Luis Suarez, when actually they just got the Uruguayan Andy Carroll😆😆

This incredibly I d I o t I c pundit not realizing what a star Nunez is.

Would love to see retro vids were u focus of legends of the prem and how good they whete as im startimg to see alot of slander aimed at the older legends

As a Liverpool fan I love him gives everything for the club and works so I also think he gets very unlucky at times with the amount he hits the woodwork if he can just be a bit more composed and work on the timing of his runs think he could be a very good goal scorer

As a Latin American and Liverpool fan I want Núñez and Díaz to succeed, but I also can't stop thinking they missed clear chances that if they scored, maybe we would still be playing for the league title. They do bring passion to the game (something that we can't say for everyone) and you can tell they want to win, for themselves, the club and the fans. Strikers always go through periods of highs and lows, so we will have to see next season how they perform with a new coach and system

is that a christmas tree still up? has that always been there or have I never noticed 😂😂

I'm sorry, but what is up with rival fans comparing every new striker to Erling Haaland. Liverpool fans comparing Nunez to Haaland and United fans comparing Hojlund to Haaland. This is why so many new signings are "flops." Fans give them a high expectation when they still have yet to prove themselves at a top level, unlike Haaland. If a new signing doesn't score 55 goals a season and wins the Golden Boot, then they are a flop. I think Darwin Nunez will come through and be a decent striker. I don't think he will be as good as Jota, but I think he could challenge Jota. My man just needs some consistency

He's a football demon he presses, runs in behind,pacey, yes he hits the post alot but he caused issues for the other team in so many other ways

Haven’t watched it yet, but I just saw the thumbnail and said out loud “oh no is he coming for my boy!? … Not Darwin he just so much fun”😂

I just feel bad because he really seems like a nice guy. Always a smile on his face, always laughing with the staff and fans, has a wife and kid at a young age. Hope the best for him

I love the guy, i absolutely love his chaos playstyle and undying spirit. I HATE how he isnt clinical enough and how unlucky he is. I feel that he deserves so many more goals this season and thats why i hate that he doesnt. Its painful to see him hit the bar or the post 4 times in a game. I do believe he can improve, its hard ofc but i really believe he can become more clinical. Im a bit sad that he might not feel wanted at the club and the thing he did with his insta hurts a little bit, but its understandable really. The fans havent supported him, have trolled him and memed him and told him to get out of the club, same with Gakpo tbh. I dont want him to leave, i really dont. I want him to become the lethal striker i believe he cam become...and add the chaos to it? World class right there.

As a Liverpool fan I always laughed at the Halland comparisons and though it was nice for him to have that Charity Shield game as a bit of a one finger up to that. But, he is his own man, he is a very good football player, he entered a team with lots of additions and has done fairly well. I would be interested to see where he is in 24 months in people's minds.

If he gets a statue it should be a hug where fans can come hug him

Its definitely not a lack of technical skill, we've all seen the bangers he can score. Its the mental block which is evident in his decision making, he so often panick shoots without taking his time to think it through.

Hes still young playing in the most competitive physical league in the world hes still doing bits hes going to grow into an absolute monster mark my words

I think he can be very effective playing off the left wing where he doesn't have to be a clinical finisher to be useful, but the same is likely true of Diaz and Gakpo. That leaves Salah and Jota to bag goals, but Salah's skills are fading and Jota isn't available enough to be relied upon. In short, I think Nunez is miscast as a primary central goalscorer and would be better used as a high-energy pressing inside forward.

One thing about him and Barca's Raphinha are that they're energetic and press like machines

oh darwin nunez, youi beautiful uruguayian beast, what can i say, your tricks, your finishing, your muscles OH MY.....

Just want to say that this is a very well put together video. You got the sentiment of Liverpool supporters spot on, when I comes to Darwin and Cody. Particularly Cody being too slow on the ball for much of the season bar last few games.

He’s definitely a confidence type player

As a LFC fan LFC clearly is not the club for him we made mistake signing it's too Big of step for him we have backed him More than anyone and he's fan favourite but it has clearly not worked out we have to wait and see what slot does and go on from there

Man I love Nunez he is my favorite player and I think he will do very good for Liverpool, with Arne slot coming in I’m hoping he gets for playing time and I think Arne slots playing style fits Nunez more, Uruguay has a great squad for copa america and he did great in World Cup qualifiers. Like we saw in benfica he didn’t go great his first season but then he become a great player and was sold for 100 million, when he gets his confidence up he could be a potential balon dor winner and best player in the world, I love him I hope he does good

11:12 for an even more extreme comparison Yaya Toure scored 20 without missing a single big chance in the prem in 2013/14

Nunez is the opposite of trossard, When we expect a cross, He scored, when we expect he scored, He cross, But with nunez, Changed cross and scored to Goodluck and offside

From the Klopp dressing room speech video yesterday it looked like his confidence is completely shot to bits. If Slot can't turn him around, I'd give him another season max.

Hard to see him improve when he had a manager like Klopp but let’s see if Arne can one up Jurgen. I hope he comes good. I really like him at Liverpool even when he is not scoring. Man is a workhorse; Bobby with crazy speed.

The background song didn’t need to go this hard 🔥🔥

For when I see Nunez I remembered Timo Werner in Chelsea Both Nunez and Werner are not bad when it comes to building up the attack however the final products were not there They both either hit the crossbar or the posts or missed it completely which is sad

You say he was compared unfairly with Haaland before the season began but he also ripped his shirt off to show off his muscles after he scored, hardly the actions of someone who was shying away from comparisons. He’s a big head

i've seen nunez miss more wide open opportunities than some people will have in their entire careers.

I think we all want to see him reach his peak. Hopefully we see something beautiful no matter where he plays

The thing is he embodies the Liverpool way. He has the agression , he has that pace , he has that workrate , he has the talent but the amount of chances he has missed is just absurdly high . He is too inconsistent to be a no 9. Next year will be a rebuild season (hoping for trophy though ) its perfect time to slot to experiment with him possibly at lw. The thing salah is goona eventually slow down , thats inevitable. But our academy and bench has young passionate players who have the talent and do work hard. Eliot will be a great rw , when the time eventually comes . Lucho (diaz) is just like nunez and his finishing is bad too. Gakpo will take the no 9 from him, if he doesn't perform well. And because diaz is so good ( only lacks finishing)and jota can play both lw and st nunez will have to sit on bench .The next season will be decider for him.

And people were comparing him to Haaland for a while 💀

Vizeh what's the first instrumental called bro?

Nunez is just is just memeable too! 😂

The thing I don’t understand about him is that he tends to start his runs from an offside position

Weird how he doesn’t mention Nunez hit the post more than any player this season I know it’s not a big thing but an important point

Liverpool fan here. I’d stick with Nunez one more season, I think we play much better with him in the side. He creates “chaos” (everyone says it but it’s true) he makes defenders second guess themselves, has that raw pace which is a great outball and is very selfless. Let’s be honest, if he put away the easy chances this season he’d be considered the best striker in the league. However, that’s a big if. I’d be more concerned if he wasn’t getting into goal scoring positions, so I say give him one more year, if he can hone in on his finishing and timing of runs we could have a real monster on our hands, which we’ve seen glimpses of this season, but if he doesn’t next season I’d be looking to sell

I see Vizeh I click like 🤷🏽‍♂️ it’s that simple but amazing video btw I’ve been subbed for alot of years😅I can see the growth so big up my G

i always thought Nunez was a panic buy because of Haaland like how quickly they went for him and didnt event negotiate the price

nah i think he has a few gears left in him and could be a new manager/style would actually help his game?

I was expecting this since the beginning. Haaland already proved himself playing crazy for Dortmund for several years. Núñez just spawned out of nowhere, had a good season and people made a ridiculous comparation.

I think I and many other Liverpool fans still really rate Nunez and what he brings to the team. 31 goals and assists in all competitions is very good. 19 g/a in 22 prem starts is also impressive. I think for the majority of the season Nunez has played at a very high level and dropped when the rest of the team has in recent months. I think he is very much a confidence player. He does really need to improve his finishing however but he is still only 24 I think he will definitely come good.

I always thought that he was bought for a bit too much money and I didn’t think he would be able to replicate his form in the Portuguese league to the Premier League. I think he will be a good Premier League striker (that any club outside of the top three would love to have) but I don’t think he’ll be an elite Premier League striker.

He might just be on fire in the upcoming Copa America.

Until two months ago, I appreciated Nunez for his hard work and dedication, despite his inconsistency. But since April and I've started to run out of excuses for him, wasting chance after chance in a critical period of the season, and costing us the Premier League and Europa League. You cannot play in the top level and be this wasteful, Haaland misses a lot of chances as well but scores enough to compensate for it.

The fact is the problem with Nunez is the presence of Salah. Watch Nunez when Salah was at Afcon. He played better, freer and Liverpool won every game

Being an Almería fan i can promise you that he will come good, not that he has been bad so far imo. Datwin will score 20+ next season

Darwin Núñez needs to adjust to involve himself in the build up play and to do that, he needs to work on his first touch and vision. He’s a solid 9 but the problem is that football has evolved beyond a static centre forward that seats at the tip of the formation and awaits for the ball to reach him. However, players north of 6’ suffer from stamina and injury issues due to their sheer body mass. If he can find a good physician and dietitian to reach as close to an ideal body mass as he can without compromising his strength and speed, he can definitely become one of if not the biggest striker of his generation. His confidence has staggered due to the physicality of the Prem which is nonexistent in Uruguay or Portugal, and defenders in the English league have already studied him inside and out. If he works things out with the new manager, he can become the principal player. Håland on the other hand needs to leave City. They don’t need a 9 and his physique impedes him from really fitting in BUT he may as well stay and evolve into a better fit for Pep since City can support him. He was relatively anonymous this season and still scored buckets, so he can definitely become a monster but if he wants to be notorious, Italy is calling. Him at Inter right now with Lautaro would score excess of 100 combined goals. Serie A has better defenders but they’re petit compared to him. And if a peg legged Lukaku could dominate the league, Håland would destroy it.

Its 2024. Strikers now are different. We might not see another suarez but will could see a striker who make play for his team mate

People are already giving up on him, like they did gakpo. But I’m never going to give up on one of my own players

I hope you make a video about Chelsea. Talk about the phenomenal season Cole Palmer is having. Also Nico Jackson and Darwin are very similar

I love Darwin Nunez. He has improved a lot since last year and if he continues that level of progression, then he could be one of the best strikers in Liverpool history. Let’s not forget that Suarez in his first 2 seasons at Liverpool were decent but nothing special and he then morphed into a goal scoring machine.

Honestly, he has a great season. He was clearly overpriced, but he'snot responsible, but he's clear quality in term of press, playmaking, offball plays.

In his career it has taken him two years at each club to really take off. Did it in Almería at 2nd division in Spain, later in Benfica. It seems almost natural that it would take longer in the Premier. Entering his 3rd season at LFC you may see a jump on that fastidious XG number.. Probabilities would tend to support the idea that with just a small percentage improvement of, say, 10% of goals scored over big chances he should be banging 20/25 goals.. Liverpool would be foolish to move him, specially in a year of transition with a new manager coming in. If the new Brass is looking to cut possible future losses, letting him go for less than the 70 million pounds he’s still worth per Transfermarkt (perhaps thinking that another “bad” season would devaluate him) may live to regret it as they watch him bang 50 goals for another team.. Intriguing stuff.. that Edwards guy’s pupils are shaped like a Pound sign so, he might sell him regardless of Slot’s opinion.. Prediction - stays at LFC: 29 goals/18 assists in PL with 12/7 in CL, 4/2 in Carabao and 8/3 in FA cup..

can u do a video on what players Arne Slot could potentially will bring into the Liverpool squad

I mean he scored 63 goals last season as a 95 overall in year 8 of my liverpool save

nunez is the type of striker to hit his prime at 34

Question Vizeh - do you think Nunez goes by "Nuni" in the lockerroom? Srs question

His work rate and the goals he’s scored for me are enough to keep him for another season but if we're still complaining about the same things with him come December… I think we should consider a summer sale

I'll never say Darwin Nunez was a flop. Sure, he didn't reach our lofty expectations of him, but no one can deny that Nunez exudes the Liverpool spirit. As a fan, I love Nunez. I enjoy when he's on the ball/right position, and he does SOMETHING. He tries. Some might say my standands are low, but I don't really care. He plays the sort of chaotic, arrogant, rough and angry football I enjoy watching. Sometimes, his confidence gets in the way, but I believe Nunez is a phenomenal player

He tried to watch this but he pressed the Linus tech tips video underneath

I definitely think he will come good, he's a confidence player and as an arsenal fan he definitely is a threat. It's mostly the narrative and the comparison with haaland which hasn't done him any favours tbh. 11 goals 8 assists in 35 matches is definitely quite good.

"shit andy caroll"

Nunez clearly has the ability of a world class player on his day he can be compared to mpabbe with his great finishing, dribbling and speed but i do believe that it all comes down to his mindset and i think that he is usually just not in it

I think that the real issue here is that he is not a top league player at all. He comes from Benfica. A club that has the ability to inflate the prices of players way above fairness to the players themselves, creating false expectations in the destination teams for transfers. There are so many examples like João Feliz, Enzo Fernandez and Renato Sanchez and do many others but I am only going to go with these four, due to being more recent history and their prices were just absurd. The problem here is that the teams are not analysing the players currently and in detail to figure out that those prices are absurd and they will create the imagine that the players are way better than what they trully are. For example, Benfica sold João feliz for 120 million because "he will definitely be Ballon d'Or winner in short time". Sure... sure he is!

I dont think that Brentford chipped goal was composed. It perfectly summed up what goes on in his mind. Why would he even think of attempting that instead of an easier finish. Michael Owen calle it out and was attacked for it.

Was struggling to sleep but your vids always help me get the rest I need Rereading this my message sounds quite mean but you just are so good at putting me to sleep with your videos it's so helpful

Jackson is more dynamic, is more involved in the game, has better dribbling and ball control as well as build-up play yet Darwin gets more credit and patience in the media plus fans alike because of this "chaos" narrative. This is Darwin's second season and he still has the masses clamouring for patience yet Jackson is a write-off in his first season, how does that work?

He's not even that bad. People talk about him like he's Andy Carroll, yet he's scored 18 goals, hit the woodwork 9 times and provided about a dozen assists, and he's still young. Ok, he hasn't quite justified the 85m, but he's clearly a dangerous player, and if a few of those woodwork goals went in and he was a bit luckier he'd have had 22 to 25 goals this season and everyone would be saying he was a good signing

Players like Núñez and Jackson get made fun of for missing so many sitters, but watching their movement they have the potential to be great strikers. They simply lack confidence. For example, Havertz in the first half of this season was awful, but a boost in mentality has allowed him to be good. The Slot system could hurt Núñez but maybe help him with confidence in some way.

Darwin is an amazing striker, he should be given another year as lead striker 😌

I think in Nunez there is definitely a top player there, but he hasn't gotten to that point yet. Haaland on the other hand is already at that point. I think Nunez will really come good next season. His current drop off aside, he still did better than last season. Fully believe he'll be even better next season.

I genuinely believe milner when he said Darwin is the best young prospect he has ever played with, the talent is there. Whats left is a spark thats left to be ablaze. He is more talented and fluid than Haaland forsure, but that inconsistency and unreliability will make the team lose favour in him. Liverpool is projected to fail as soon as kloop leaves mainly becauee alot of players are leaving, and the ones remaining have the talent but clubs like Liverpool and United have fanbases that are not patient. The core of Liverpools next generation is too inconvenient which will affect them alot

You've gotten less loud over the years. That's nice.
