      It's the pace only.

      Everything else is like watching night and day

      Yea thinks that's what I mean mate. Some of those early games he had that pace running in on goal.

      Just doesn't have the composure and finish.

      Lot of Torres talk this evening and reminds me what a phenomenal player he was in his prime here.

      Hahaha yeah I know Torres turned into a Judas by the end of his time here but comparing him to Darwin seems F***ing harsh.

      Torres was maybe 10× the player Darwin is.

      Don't believe all the Judas stuff.

      Club (FSG in charge by then) were happy to sell.

      Just made Nando throw in the transfer request. He was finished after the injury in the world Cup final. We'd have done brilliant business had we not bought Carroll.

      Looking at how Athletic Madrid play & Simeone’s man management I think that would be a great move for Nunez.. he would excel there..

      Impossible not to love Darwin’s tenacity, but he needs a move. Unfortunately we will lose bigly on the transfer fee but it’s best for both parties.

      Still find the shouts of him starting against PSG baffling. He’s never put a run of games together in a Liverpool shirt so it was definitely the right call from Slot to bench him after his decent performance at the weekend.

      Said it at the time, absolutely F***ing wild if we turned down a big bid from Saudi for him in January.

      Jota was sh*t against PSG. That's why people wanted Darwin starting. Very simple.

      Right call based on what exactly? Thinking Arne can do no wrong? Because Jota sure as hell hasn't done much of anything this season and we all know what he's like coming back from injury.

      He really repaid the faith Arne has in him to have started him in both games didn't he, what a treat that worked out.

      What did nunez do on tuesday when he came on exactly? Fresh as a daisy against tired legs ??? The square root of fcuk all. He isnt good enough.

      Jota has struggled this season, but he is 10 times the player nunez will ever be. 3 years of mostly frustration and complete and utter failure. Man has cost more than 70m quid, more money than any player in our history bar virg. Really repaid that hasnt he? As chats said its a joke if we turned down big money from the saudi's. We would be no worse off now without nunez because he offers absolutely nothing.

      Over the years Jota has won many a big game and put in many top performances and thats why Arne goes with him, because he is a better player.

      Nunez is better this season. Stats don't lie (neither does the eye test)

      He might not be it's just us guessing.

      Salah goes we very well could keep all the remaining strikers and add one more

      Are you new to football or something?

      He clearly doesn't suit the style and he's a player with resale value, way Jota is going he'll be following him out swiftly afterwards anyway so it's a moot question.

      Because they want someone better? My point is that right now Nunez is better than Jota. That’s not saying much.

      Sadly nunez just ain't top top top drawer, we will defo cash in this summer.

      Love the mad bustards, but just a bit too inconsistent for the best football club in the world.

      Correct he might not be, I just don’t think you can afford to keep him with so many  mistake's in his locker Si.  Happy to see him stay as I see it as a mistake if they keep him at No 9. Personally I think he’s more affected/ dangerous on the flanks.

      They could both go given how this year has gone.

      I wondered how long it would be before someone said he doesn’t suit your style of play  :lmao: Bet you were one of the 7 that didn’t give Allisson MOTM last week.  :couch:
