No chance. Suarez went to become an all time great CF but even in that season got Liverpool he was comfortably better than Gerrard ever was.
Darwin Núñez | Liverpool player | Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shish

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
What’s with all this asthma medicine kicking in. It doesn’t transform a footballer. A donkey on asthma medicine will only become a fitter and faster donkey. His skills will not improve an iota. He will remain a donkey imo.He looks absolutely rubbish from what we can see so far .......It's lovely !
Unfortunately the poor lad will probably soon find out he's severely asthmatic which will force him to re-evaluate his training methods and force him to up his game.
True but a fit donkey is still a more effective donkey than an unfit donkey.
Agreed, he was unbelievable in that 13/14 season. I have fond memories of winding up my Scouse classmates about him only scoring against relegation fodder, in reality I knew he was a monster of a player.
I doubt it though. He may be effective but not sure 100m effective. Will always be an overpriced signing.
Can't write him off yet as he is only playing pre-season games and he is still relatively young. However, his poor touch video would worry me, if I were a Dipper, as his poorest moments come when people get tight to him and don't give him space. That really doesn't bode well for the PL.
They have achieved more. But the only one with a claim to have performed better is Dalglish, maybe Gerrard on a good day. In terms of highest level of performance Suarez is up there with anyone we've had.
If Andy Carroll had pace, athleticism and relentless drive and work rate and wasn't so much injury prone he would have been a top player.
Nunez has those it seems. Doesn't have Carroll's indomitable physique so swings and roundabouts.
The main reason Carroll failed was lacklustre application and injuries. Technically he was quite decent. Had a lot in common with balotelli actually even if the latter was much more talented.

Wait people are writing this chap off already? Come off it.
Is he really any better than origi?
I think he will come good but that price tag is a massive noose around his neck.
Like Lukaku it looks like Nunez has a similar thin-skin on social media.
No one is writing him off, it's just a bit of fun that's all.
He is shite though!
The ‘resiliencia’ tweet did feel very Rom-like
How do you know he has any of this? Based off of one season?
Seems you’re just quoting phrase here with most anything behind it
And it's only a-bit of piss taking during pre-season
He’s struggling in pre season. It’s only going to get harder in the PL.
What would be a bigger concern is he’s struggling with tap ins. That’s without an opponent involved!

Nunez really isn’t understanding British football banter. He’s actually taking the bait and reacting to it. Which leads to more cock ups followed by more ridiculing. It’s glorious.And it's only a-bit of piss taking during pre-season
THIS
Liverpool have had some success in recent years so part of that comes added scrutiny. United players get it (Pogba) City players get it (Grealish) and this year Haaland and Nunez is going to get it!
Can he handle it...time will tell. But its going to be interesting watching City and Liverpool this season because unlike previous years there attack has actually changed a little and it might not be for the better.
Ramadel Lukakarroll looking real sharp in training.
Exactly
Came from Benfica to the Big Reds..
Bambi on ice this chap.
And he scored the other 4 quite effortlessly
That’s from a few years ago about another player.
Why is this wanker shitting on one of their best and most consistent players.
Everybody is shit unless they play for Liverpool. In which case they're the greatest on the planet in their position.
Suarez Balon D'or finishes hes not far off.
2016 - 4th
2015 - 5th
Because, he's gone now, so obviously he's shite! Logic.
That was at Barcelona. I said the Liverpool version finished 19th, which is clearly miles away from Gerrard when he finished 3rd.
And he's Liverpool players with all the media Scouse love in protection too.And it's only a-bit of piss taking during pre-season
Bullet dodged
Ballon D'or is a load of BS based on who won the CL and World Cup. Liverpool fluked the CL and Gerrard was their best player so he finished third. He was never 3rd best player in the world. Note that SAF rated Gerrard below the other top midfielders in the PL in his book. I take it you rate SAF's opinion?
'Ballon D'or clearly doesn't mean anything because Michael Laudrup has never won it' - Pep Guardiola
Michael Owen has won the Ballon D'or but Thierry Henry never did. It's clearly a BS award.
He was basically their Ronaldo. Ability wise I'd have him over Rush and Dalglish easily, but he spent his best years away from the club.
Funnily enough, so are the liverpool fans!
the shortlists are revealed in October 2015 and he was already at Barca and wasn't so amazing. Its more on the calender year than one season so his was split.
Sums them up as a fanbase.
This.
It's an unfair popular contest. As we have seen with pundits and sport journalism, many of them may even watch less games than us, armchair experts. Their vote can be very short sighted result oriented.
I don't claim to know. I said it seems. I base it off the eye test of his relentless performance against us and some article from one of the top tier Liverpool journos that it Nunez work-rate and drive to improve was a major factor in his recruitment.
I know Carroll didn't have that based on the 18 months he spent with us. As weird as it was, he'd rather have stayed at Newcastle.
The ones he took after that were impeccable.
All the more bizarre that a Liverpool fan would crop that one miss and use it to deflect away from Nunez. They're genuinely rattled about this
