Mark Lawrenson claims to have never played with a striker as wasteful in front of goal as Darwin Nunez during his seven years at Liverpool. But the Reds veteran is confident that the Uruguayan can become a Premier League force, advising manager Jurgen Klopp to introduce subtlety to his finishing.<\/p>\n
Nunez arrived at Anfield under the weight of great expectations, which come naturally with an eye-watering \u00a385million price tag. That’s considerably more than Manchester City paid for Erling Haaland, who landed at the Etihad Stadium in the same summer and scored a boatload more goals than his Liverpool counterpart last season.<\/p>\n
It’s not all doom and gloom for the 24-year-old, however. Reds supporters have warmed to his unpredictable and exciting style of play, which has banked him seven goals in all competitions this term.<\/p>\n
Nunez’s finesse in front of goal still leaves a lot to be desired, though. And Lawrenson, who made over 200 appearances for the Reds in the 1980s, is not impressed.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Chelsea target Gabriel Moscardo blows Boehly’s cover ahead of January window<\/strong><\/p>\n “I was trying to think about anyone I played with at Liverpool who would miss as many chances as Darwin Nunez, but I can\u2019t, there were two fellas called Ian Rush and Kenny Daglish,” he told Paddy Power<\/em>.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s just his style, isn\u2019t it? Everything is 100 per cent and they\u2019ll be working on his finishing in training and he needs a bit of subtlety. Everything has to be smashed into the net with Nunez, absolutely smashed. It was interesting when he missed that chance against Luton because he couldn\u2019t smash that, and he had to be a bit deft.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5060308.jpg?r=1699647815343\")
