Darwin Nunez has come under an inordinate amount of heavy fire recently for his profligacy in front of goal.
Jurgen Klopp admitted his Uruguayan hotshot is ‘going through it right now’ amid a six-game goal drought at Liverpool in the English top-flight, in comments relayed on X (formerly Twitter) by Ian Doyle.

As far as patch journalists and the major players in the journalistic sphere are concerned, Liverpool are planning to continue with our No.9 for the foreseeable.
There may be an argument, in the eyes of some, that we’d be prepared to offload an inconsistent striker if a hypothetical meaty bid were to come in.
To the naysayers, we’d say this: Who on earth are you bringing in to improve on Darwin Nunez?
