Liverpool fans seem to already have a “task” for new coach Arne Slot as the Dutch manager prepares to take over the hot seat at Anfield, replacing Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool squandered a victory despite leading Aston Villa 3-1, as forward Jhon Duran scored two late goals to secure a valuable 3-3 draw for the hosts. This result means Tottenham must defeat Manchester City tonight if they want to surpass Aston Villa and secure the final Champions League spot.
In this match, Nunez only came on in the 75th minute to replace Gakpo but frustrated fans by repeatedly committing offside errors. The Uruguayan forward even put the ball in Villa’s net once, but the assistant referee flagged for offside.
On social media, Liverpool supporters posted humorous comments directed at the new coach. One fan wrote: “Dear Mr. Slot, there’s only one thing we ask of you: please teach Nunez the offside rule!”
Another commented: “It seems like Nunez needs to relearn the offside rule. This guy never seems to be in the right position.”
Nunez has a very poor sense of space
Another fan added: “Nunez still doesn’t understand the offside rule. Hopefully, he’ll spend his summer break learning it.”
Another supporter wrote: “If Nunez stays (and I don’t oppose that), Slot’s first task should be to teach him the damn offside rule. It’s unacceptable how often he gets caught offside.”
Another comment read: “First thing on Arne Slot’s to-do list: Teach Nunez the offside rule.”
Slot recently shared his thoughts on his impending move to Anfield: “I say it almost all the time: It’s just a matter of time. This time, I expect the same. These things are more complicated than going to the supermarket with a shopping list and ticking off items. These are things that need precise timing and careful planning.”
He added: “Sometimes there are certain conditions that come with it. So, the combination of those factors delays the official announcement. But don’t worry, it will definitely happen.”
