The Trivela Effect site comments on Darwin Nunez’s ability to stay at Anfiled Stadium next season.
In fact, Liverpool is still in the Premier League title race despite a series of recent results that haven’t been ideal, including a shameful 0-2 loss to Everton and a disappointing 2-2 draw with West Ham. Recently, The Kop defeated a top 6 opponent, Tottenham Hotspur, with an impressive score of 4-2, temporarily putting aside the dispute between Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp during the West Ham match.
However, despite the positive results, there are still negative aspects surrounding Darwin Nunez’s unconvincing performances. Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher previously criticized the Uruguayan forward on Sky Sports: “That was an unacceptable miss from Nunez, especially considering his caliber.
He can’t afford to squander opportunities when Liverpool is competing for the title. With the team’s momentum, I think Liverpool should have scored 2-3 goals in the match, but nothing happened in the end.”

He cannot afford to squander opportunities when Liverpool is in the title race. With the team’s momentum, I think Liverpool should have scored 2-3 goals in the match, but ultimately nothing happened.”
Nunez missed many scoring opportunities in the loss against Everton.
Despite Nunez showing dynamism, diligence, and an ability to create opportunities for teammates, he has failed to excel in the penalty area and has disappointed with his finishing abilities. The 24-year-old star finds himself among the list of forwards who have missed the most opportunities in the top 5 European leagues.
There have been many rumors about Nunez leaving after this season, and fans at Anfield have begun to speculate on who might replace him and whether a significant transfer fee could be recouped for the 24-year-old forward.
With Jurgen Klopp set to step down at the end of the season, the final decision will depend on the new manager, Arne Slot, and he may experiment with Darwin Nunez in a different position before the new season begins.
Nunez did not meet his goalscoring expectations at Liverpool.
Indeed, Nunez has struggled with finishing but excels in causing difficulties for the opponent’s defense, so he could play as a second striker alongside another player in the highest position.
Previously, Liverpool couldn’t change their system much with Mohamed Salah highly rated on the right wing, but since Luis Diaz could be sold to Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Nunez could switch to the left-wing forward role with Salah on the right. Could this help the talented Uruguayan player revive his career at Liverpool in a supporting attacking role?
However, considering Liverpool already has many stars capable of performing well in a playmaking role like Dominik Szoboszlai, Harvey Elliott, or even defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, Nunez’s presence may seem redundant. Therefore, it might be easier for Liverpool to offload Nunez and sign a higher caliber player in the number 9 position.
