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?
Did you really say you would take Gerrard, Salah and even Dalglish over Suarez? You really hate the guy (he deserves it but not objective)
Have you seen him play?
Yeah!? Well how many has Martial scored? Eh!?
You’re foaming at the mouth. Calm down.
I am talking about the Liverpool version of Suarez, not factoring in his Barcelona stint.
Gerrard was your captain
Sure. Don't think it is totally blind, but I am basically waiting to see what he'll be like in his first competitive game.
I don't really watch much pre season games, so all I've seen are the donkey touch compilations where Keita incidentally looked amazing. Don't think that's going to pan out when the season starts either like.
3 in 3
I think he had decent talent. Not world class but many forwards have made good careers at top clubs without ever being world class. His top level was really good, even if there was only a brief period where he looked lean, aggressive and hungry. Had a really good left foot.
In terms of actual end product he was rubbish obviously. Wasn't necessarily written in the cards though.
And he’s just scored a hat trick against Leipzig.. make a comp of that.
Even we put five past Leipzig, doesn't mean much
Just scored a 20-min hat-trick after coming on in the 2nd half against Leipzig. Watching the game he definitely is going to get them goals but just looks so clumsy with the ball in their buildups and those give and go's.
Hope he can do that against Fulham on the first day of the season.
Who cares? He's still shit.
Equalling Martials pre-season tally. The clamour for him to be a flop and how early those shouts have come is honestly weird.
That's probably where we'll miss Mane the most. Mane was pretty good at that side of the game. In terms of goals I think Nunez could easily match up to that. Mane rarely hit more than 20 a season.
This./
Mane’s versatility & goal threat will be difficult to replace. Liverpool create too many chances for Darwin not to score.
It’s mostly people having fun as well as there being some real criticisms of his game. When were linked with him opinion was quite divided. Also there’s a real hope he is a flop.
Even Rashford scored a hat-trick versus that shower of shite.
I think most was banter but there seemed to be a circle jerk with a couple of posters who "called it" and were congratulating themselves based on 60 minutes of preseason play.
I wouldn't get carried away with his goals today because the likes of Leipzig are a perfect team for him to play against (especially so early in their preseason) but I'm sure it's lifted a weight off his shoulders.
Expect him to start against Salzburg in their next game and if he performs well he will start against City in the Charity Shield.

Leipzig couldn't of made it any easier tbf.
Rashford did that in a real actual game once, and he's shite
Boooo, I much preferred it when he was incontestably rubbish. Hopefully he returns to normal next week.
Rattled
You know you're a real buzz ki...never mind.
There's this as well. Leipzig have been absolutely terrible. I was hoping they would put up more of a fight but they've just been very casual.
Their goalkeeper has been hoofing the ball every chance he gets. Not sure if it's cause of instructions as I think they changed their keeper at half time.
A penalty, a tap in that he almost fecked up and one goal that was actually any good? Would be a pretty shit comp to be honest.
Couldn’t even wait for the game to end
I think you’re missing the point that this thread is 99% banter.
"It's only a pre-season friendly"
Absolutely rattledWell Leipzig keepers are shit. That's my conclusion based on this game.
Getting to occasionally laugh at you lot is one of the few joys left of coming to this forum full of moaners (in season) and muppets (off).
The occasional hat-trick does not a good footballer make. To badly misquote Aristotle.
Hopefully normal service is resumed and scouse Poundland Lukaku resurfaces next game.
they’ll be counting goals he scores in fm saves next.
Yeah. He's been there a month and still not scored for Liverpool officially. Poor.
That's Pele!
