Why do people like Darwin Nunez so much? I don't see it, at all.
i didnt know much about him before he came to Liverpool..and really still dont..i dont know if they are excuses or what ..but he hasnt consistently started as it has been reported he hasnt quite settled in yet..but they paid so much money for the guy to be subbing in seems..off to me..and i think there is some communication problems with him and Klopp

honestly i wish they had taken that 100 million or what ever it was and invest it into the midfield instead

Klopp's usually a smart buyer, but this guy may have been a mistake. At least Firmino is finding his form again though.

I'm gonna give him a bit more time before i say he is a mistake..but it does seem to be trending that way..more concerned with the injuries mounting up ..

A lot is on the perimeter though. Lloris has made a couple good saves but the high quality chances always seem to fall to Fred so no goals aha
Watching Tottenham play is pure torture lol. Always 10 players behind the ball hoping for counter chances and Kane/Son to score.

We were totally dominated today. That was brutal to watch. You're right, just hoping for the counter. No creativity out there.

I wonder what's wrong with Son. He had that one game where he came off the bench and scored a hat trick, but apart from that he hasn't been his usual clinical self.
Kane still looks great, but he can't do it all by himself.

Mahrez had a solid penalty run last year... but his career record is pretty poor.

22 scored, 10 missed over career.

69% record.

The average penalty taker scores 76% of the time.

Good grief, Celtic...

Had opportunities to get in Europa, but couldn't stop tripping over their own feet. Disappointing end to the European season.
