He also plays without a brain, makes the wrong decisions in vital moments. He's very raw.
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?
I think we're all wrong. This guy is a defender not a striker.
He definitely looks how someone like Van Dijk would look in attack, IMO.

Clips or it didn’t happen.
It’s nice for once to dodge a bullet! He is their Maguire
He has to be the worse finisher in the PL if not Europe.
Has Darwin made more league goals this year? Has he scored at all? I think Van Dyke made at least 1.
I love that pool signed Nunez though. Very easy to hate.
Miss of the season surely!
He's provided more memes than Maguire at this stage.
I mean Nunez hilariously missed and all, but can someone explain why Firminho didn’t just score there? I mean scoring from that position was probably 100 times easier then passing the ball but what do I know.
Valid question, but Firmino has always been extremely unselfish and they were already 1-0 up so it's not ridiculous that he'd try to make a ~50% scoring chance into a ~85% one.
Nunez position would have had a significantly higher xg
Is that knobhead with the Nunez songs serious? He seems to be taking himself seriously with his singing
Honestly I think the sheer amount of chances he seems to get bodes well for him. He'll be fine ultimately in terms of his own numbers. But his lack of ability will definitely hurt their team in other ways that don't make up for the numbers I think he'll eventually post.
No chance, for that see the Shakhtar miss last night Vs Celtic.
They are trying to boost his confidence because they know he can help them.
Boooo
Pretty much. This is how I thought it would go before he'd kicked a ball for them. He'll get goals, but his overall play is so far away from what they'd ideally want and need.

Well that went well then
jaysus thats bad
Conversation stopped when he scored the header? Ah, boo you guys. 
How many goals now in all comps? Must be closing in on double figures? And not even half way through the season. First season in a new league and missed a lot of games. Not bad at all. Hate to say it but I suspect there will be a lot of United fans with egg on their face by the end of this season.
He’ll score enough goals to be classed as successful in the long run as that’s all that’ll be remembered but he’ll miss easy chances in games or break down chances that’ll ultimately cost them in my opinion.
Especially the guy who said he’d do better than Haaland
He's a donkey, for 100 mil he's an absolute clown.
Lukaku has always scored goals (except last season at Chelsea) but it never stopped him from being clusmy and funny on the ball
I’ve already got egg on my face over that. So Nunez scoring a lot of goals between now and the end of the season would have the opposite effect. I don’t think you’ve thought this through.
I think he'll come good. He's young, adapting to a very different league, put in a team that has somehow completely lost its identity.
True. Although with Lukaku there’s also his yo-yo weight. Looked lean and sharp in Italy. Beefy and slow in England.
5 goals 1 assist in competitive matches; total 605 minutes.
Also averaging 17 total pass attempts per 90 minutes. He is fundamentally a poor fit for any ambitious side.
Nah I seen a video of him Tiktok and he's not serious whatsoever. Only doing it for fun and possibly to wind a few up
Ah. Ok. Only 5 goals. Thought he had more. Good.
According to the BBC he's got 6 goals and 1 assist (I'm assuming the extra goal is the Community Shield game). Averaging 106 minutes per goal currently and 0.85 goals per 90 minutes. It's not a bad output.
He does miss some sitters though.
He does miss some sitters though.
He’s scored 5 goals and missed a hell of a lot more , throw in the fact he even looks awkward on the ball . I think I’m safe enough.
Why don't they include pre season goals and training goals too?
You should write into the BBC and ask.
